History YMMV / CowboysAndAliens

** It falls into FridgeLogic territory once you figure out the real reason the aliens are there. [[spoiler:[[PlanetLooters Gold]]. And in the old west, a casino boat probably would have the largest concentration of gold outside of a mint. The reason it was upside-down in the desert was because the aliens didn't bother putting it back once they were done cleaning it out.]] It probably would have been more obvious if the group had bothered investigating the ship more than "It's weird, but let's head in there since it's raining and nasty out and we need somewhere to sleep."

* CompleteMonster: The aliens seem to be operating on BlueAndOrangeMorality, but they're not fucking around. [[TheydCutYouUp Experimentation,]] BodyHorror, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday all in a day's work.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: This movie was predicted nearly twenty years ago by ''ClarissaExplainsItAll''. See [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/30/clarissa-explains-it-all-predicts-cowboys-and-aliens_n_914114.html here]].

** Not that anyone's complaining

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: A ''lot'' of people panned this movie immediately just because of its name.

* FridgeBrilliance: The title is a play on the children's game 'Cowboys and Indians.'

* MeaningfulName: Lonergan = Loner [[spoiler: again?]]; he's a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin loner]]. Dolerhyde = Dollar Hide; he's raising cattle and is responsible for keeping the town going.
** Lonergan... might also be Lone R(ay) Gun? Since he's the only human to wield one in the show.
** Lonergan also sounds a bit like a play on "alone again".

* TaintedOffByThePreview: See ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch above. There are many reports of theater crowds, upon seeing the trailer for the first time, bursting into the laughter and dismissing the film just because of its name.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: It would take a full page to list all of the changes they made. Practically the only thing they didn't change was the main character's name.

** Umm... HOW is that Freud Was Right?

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: A ''lot'' of people panned this movie immediately just because of its name. Which is extremely stupid, as it was not a bad film.

** Yeah, [[SarcasmMode and Christopher Reeves really CAN fly, like how Asians need a WHITE Airbender to inspire them to ANY minor Act of heroism!]] Little bastard should make the world a nicer place and go fucking hang himself.
