This is an intriguing anime. Recommended for an older audience.

Simply delightful. A perfect version of the tale of Willy Wonka.

From the start, this movie is very disconnected. Why is Diana in the old west? It's unclear if she knows her identity, are we supposed to be mind readers? Next, Jonah Hex's character is just as confusing, is he hero or villain, good or bad? After a while Bruce appeared, and we are still confused as to how he got here and why. This is where my attention span wavers and I switch programs. A bit of exposition would've been welcome at any point. Were we supposed to read the comic first, or magically guess what's going on around here? Confusing. How this was released is anyone's guess but it's rare I change channels mid-movie and need an aspirin. Next time I check the reviews first.

To much product placement, a few laughs, a few scares, a bit too gruesome for young kids. This has a great cast and nice acting but ther was nothing new in the haunted house genre. The same old tropes and formula as any other, but very good special effects. Three generous stars.

This is the show we really need.
