Strange going from something that sounds like too much blood and guts to a family cartoon. I'm hopeful though that this new guy is just branching out and won't turn Hex into a singing elephant or something. Why doesn't anyone get Clint Eastwood's input? This movie needs a Clint Eastwood attitude and a fast paced comic book superhero pace.
