Remember that old Western movie where John Wayne punches an alien in the face?
If you don't, it's probably because it was never made. Sadly, since the beginning of the motion picture business, moviegoers have been denied the cowboy/alien hybrid that they have been yearning for. That is until Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau decided to turn the graphic novel Cowboys & Aliens into a full-length feature starring Daniel Craig.
Although we won't be seeing the Duke saddling up against the extraterrestrial anytime soon, I'd say that James Bond is a pretty fair replacement.
