It's absolute garbage. Absolute trash. It was really good right up until the very end, and then it was like it didn't know what it was anymore. This is a film about dinosaurs eating people. No one is watching this because they want to see a human hero, they are watching it because they want to see dinosaurs eat people. The dinosaurs in this film are who you are rooting for, not some dumb a-word dude and his love interest.Let me tell you at the end of this movie no less than three human beings are alive. Not one human alive. Not two humans alive. THREE human beings are alive at the end of this movie. It's the absolute worst.Even at the end I was just about to applaud because there was a surprise, but then... Cut to credits. WTF? Cut to credits...Here's what the ending should have been: The happy couple is standing together proud of themselves for defeating all the dinosaurs. Then, out of nowhere and with no explanation as to why it was there... a giant dinosaur shows up, and one bite is all it takes. Their legs are all that is left and the legs wobble a bit and fall over and then cut to credits and let the audience applaud.Instead it's some crappy ending where a final dinosaur appears and it could be taken either way, maybe they'll all die, or maybe the fight will go on. It just isn't satisfying, and that is the difference between one star and ten stars.Don't get me wrong there are some applause worthy moments in this movie. Not a lot, but enough. It's just the ending is so terrible that all you can do is feel bad that you sat through the whole movie for that.

After an accidental explosion at a local mine, dinosaurs emerge from the rubble to terrorize a small western town. Now, a group of gunslingers must defend their home if anyone is going to survive in a battle of cowboys versus dinosaurs.After watching "Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre", I needed to follow up my cheese with more cheese -- two movies about explosions unleashing prehistoric creatures who kill! And, you know what? This is the better of the two. Still terrible, but in a fun way.Was the biggest problem the awful dinosaurs? Nope. It was trying to figure out why none of the men in this town were under 40 and none of the women were older than 25. The romantic pairings were rather creepy.Kelcey Watson is the star of this film. His intensity and over-the-top performance is great, and I would love to see him transition from cheesy movies to bigger things. Sara Malakul Lane was also really good, and she seems to be on that edge between big things and B-movies. She's been in FHM, so her modeling is known... but then she has a spotty track record of movies that probably barely paid her. She's better than that.The real surprise is Eric Roberts. Someone please tell me how he went from huge star to the king of D-grade movies... he really hit rock bottom with "The Dead Want Women". In this film, though, he gives a really good performance. A bit cheesy, but fitting or the movie. I suspect he was only on set one day, but he really nailed it.

There are two writers for the script of this movie. Each has produced volumes. If you combined their entire life's work, wadded it into a ball, and held it up, God would come down from Mount Jeebus to destroy it. They apparently took the script from Cowboys & Aliens (itself pretty uninspired), changed a few words, and presto. Take away the 160 million dollar budget and good actors and there you have it; Cowboys vs Dinosaurs.There is nothing here. It's like everyone involved said "mail me my check, I'm phoning this one in." Even for SyFy, this really sucked. No amount of effort appears to have been applied at all. If they weren't making money doing this, I'm sure it would stop, but it never does. Don't ask me how they do it.In the realm of SyFy movies, this one falls between Mega-(insert name here) and Shark-(include anything you want here). It's a total waste of time. And this from a guy who gave Robocroc a 6. The acting, the CGI, the production values, all have been thrown out the window. I don't know what happened here, but obviously something did.If you are stuck for something to watch, and only this is on, clean the garage instead. You know it needs it anyway, and your time will have been better spent.

Eric Roberts have been involved in so many of these B-movies this year alone and with title such as Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, you would know what to expect here. In that regard the movie delivers, it's a series of cheesy dialogues and terrible effects conveyed by entirely uncomfortable cast. This movie is for when you have exhausted every other movie option and at best might just find some comedy.There are cowboys, and then they meet with dinosaurs. If that sounds rather uninformative, it's because narrative offers little explanation. In fact, most of the times the focus is geared towards attractive ladies that have little to no credible acting skill. To put it mildly, they are most likely recruited from adult entertainment industry.One doesn't accidentally stumble on Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, you should know the inherent shady production, might just as well embrace it.
