The name sounds so lazy, so lacklustre, so… unexciting. It’s a little like when you came across Snakes On A Plane and knew that the film was just going to be bad. So it is actually a tremendous surprise when you come out of Cowboys & Aliens exclaiming “y’know what, that was actually good.

A real cowboy was a man that tended to the cattle of a farmer, the Hollywood "Cowboy" is however actually just an outlaw.

A cowboy is an animal herder who tends cattle on ranches in North America, traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose from the vaquero traditions of northern Mexico and became a figure of special significance and legend.
