Excessive use of the F-word ruined the movie...
When I stumbled upon the 2024 Western movie "Calamity Jane", from writers Leon Langford and Collin Watts, I had never heard about it. But I opted to watch it on account of it being a movie that I had never seen or heard about. And I figured that since the movie had Tim Rozon on the cast list, then chances would be that the movie would actually be worthwhile watching.
Right, well within the first minutes of the movie, the F-word was used two times, and that pretty much put a dampener on the movie for me. While I am not a prude, then I just don't think that language is suitable in a Western movie. And it continued on throughout the course of the movie, and I have to say that it definitely took away something from the overall enjoyment of the movie for me. Writers Leon Langford and Collin Watts really dropped the ball with the excessive swearing dialogue here.
The storyline in the movie was fairly good, as it proved to be entertaining and straightforward. However, the movie is hardly one that warrants more than a single viewing, as there just simply isn't sufficient contents to the storyline to support multiple viewings.
I was only familiar with actors Tim Rozon and Mike Dopud of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, and they were indeed nice additions to the movie. I will say that they had a good cast ensemble, and the acting performances in the movie were good.
Director Terry Miles's 2024 movie "Calamity Jane" looks and felt like a proper Western movie, which was nice. They had definitely stepped all the way in here and made it rather presentable. I liked that about the movie.
Watchable, for sure, but the excessive foul language sort of ruined the movie for me.
My rating of director Terry Miles's 2024 movie "Calamity Jane" lands on a five out of ten stars.
