This was the choice of the kid and I was pleased to accompany him and made it possible for him. Thanks to him, I have discovered a lot of movies that alone I would never have watched.
About this movie, like their American cousins, French-Belgium comics are adapted for screen: after Asterix, Largo Winch and now the lonesome cowboy. But except Tintin, XIII, Schtroumphs (Smurfs), I never read French-Belgium comics so I can't judge this adaptation and can only tell what I felt:
I find it dark and gritty: Along Spiderman, Daredevil, Batman, this Lucky is a traumatized orphan and seeks revenge and absolution. As I said about "Bad Girls", western is a very restricted genre and there isn't surprises here.
Worst, all the cast is dull: Poupaud? The US President? Sylvie Testud as Calamity Jane? But we aren't in shortage of cool people!
On the other hand, the final is rather enjoyable because the set is cool: This Poker Man shares the same taste as the Joker!
Above all, Michael Youn is irresistible: as the never grown-up he is, he delivers a very funny characterization.
But his name isn't the title, so the movie gets feathers and tar!
