Don't Worry, Michael Fassbender Didn't See Jonah Hex Either
With the release of Jane Eyre on Friday, the world will be reminded yet again that Michael Fassbender is on the cusp of becoming a superstar -- that is if his floating head crotch shot in the X-Men: First Class posters didn't remind you already. If life on the A-list does await him, Fassbender seems well prepared -- especially in the self-deprecation department. Speaking with Salon, Fassbender described his role as a villain in Jonah Hex as "the Lucky Charms leprechaun mixed with Frank Gorshin's Riddler." Not that he actually knows what the final product looked like. "Pretty awful, was it? I haven't seen it myself." [Salon]

If by pretty awful you mean pretty AWESOME, than yes it is Mr. Fassbender.
Yes, Hex is an amazingly incompetent movie. It's terribly shot, it's stitched together from pieces of who knows what, it has awful opening animation that spans like 3 separate voice overs explaining the premise, there's a dream sequence that's later reused as the climactic battle (only with a different colored filter, so you know it's reality), hell you can actually tell what scenes are reshoots from the replacement director. (Those would be the ones that are competently framed)...
But it's never boring for the 73 minutes it unspools. And that's a lot more than I can say about a lot of other terrible movies. (Last Airbender and Drive Angry, I'm looking in your direction).
