Not the worst thing I've ever seen

After reading many reviews about this movie I really expected the very worst movie of all times... After watching this movie I must admit that I found it quite entertaining... I gave the movie 5 out of 10 because of the following 10 reasons:

5 REASONS TO LIKE THIS MOVIE:

-The sets were exactly as they were designed in the comics by Morris. -Til Schweiger was, although he had a small part, better than in other movies. -The special effects were not brilliant, but acceptable. -It was funny. -The Daltons were exactly as I always imagined them to be.

5 REASONS TO HATE THIS MOVIE:

-The story of this movie is stupid and it has nothing to do with the brilliant satirical storys of the comics. -The script was written by Eric and Ramzy, that is why there is some really stupid dialogue. -Lucky Luke has a very small part. -Although Eric and Ramzy were better than in their previous movies (which I hated), they were really egocentric when they wrote this script, gave themselves the main parts. Their dialogue starts being annoying after 5 minutes. -They did not really try to make a parody of old classic westerns...

It is worth watching once. If you are an Eric and Ramzy fan you may even watch it twice... If you don't want to watch it, read the comics, you won't really miss anything!
