I actually liked it...

Westerns are my favourite genre, and I actually liked this one. It was certainly 1000x better than Pitt's "the coward robert ford and hanging a painting with homoerotic overtones" (worst movie I have seen in ages).

I thought Appaloosa was visually beautiful, story was good, and I thought Viggo was excellent (though he is pretty much always excellent, "A History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises" are a couple of my faves in the last few years). I cannot stand RZ and was curious if she was going to actually be a femme fatale hired by Irons' character (a little too 20th century for me).. she squinted well though. I thought the woman who was with Viggo was very good, and though she was a bit tacked on, thought the "less calculating whore" made for an obvious but good contrast.

Was it perfect? No... but my weakness is a "hired gun defends town from land baron" cliched story.. and for me this one delivered enough that I was glad I watched it.
