the experience of watching a French Wild West film

Out here in France they have a comic strip about a Wild West character named Lucky Luke. Or as the French pronounce it 'Louky Louk'. The comic strip isn't too bad, funny and has some big wild west characters in it. So during the school vacation I went to see the film with a friend and three boys she babysits for. My friend and I were surprised and slightly disappointed by the film. It wouldn't have been so bad, except for the horrible rendition of the wild west characters. They had Billy the kid who acted like a 5 year old, and was psychotic. Jess James spent most of the film quoting shakespeare, and not the typical character from our Wild West stories. Even Calamity Jane was present but one of the most ugly and oddest people I have ever seen. None of these characters were presented in a way that was typical of their north american wild west personalities. The film would probably have been good if I didn't know the North American version of the Wild West. It was a very typcial french film and was definitely an experience. Too bad, it wasn't better but it was still fun. :)
