Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 Movie Review
Vložit

- Kevin Costner’s Horizon might be the most ambitious movie undertaking since Lord of the Rings. Think about it - Kevin Costner has sunk a huge chunk of his own personal fortune into making an epic Western saga, with a second movie only weeks away from hitting theatres, regardless of whether or not the first makes him any money. If that weren’t enough, he’s already started shooting pieces of the third film, and he’s sworn he’ll also be making a fourth film as well. Given the scope of his ambitions, it’s hard to truly judge Horizon - Chapter 1 as a standalone film, with it so clearly part of a much bigger whole.

#Horizon #KevinCostner - Zábava
We need more movies in theaters that are made for adults, and I hope this can make some money. People bit@@ about remakes, sequels, reboots, superhero movies and so on but many of these same people also go watch these movies in theaters. Here's your chance, support something different instead of supporting some big CGI movie made for kids.
Agree and I can not wait to watch the movie in the cinema
Cher kevin que dieu vous benisse ace grand beau travail que vous avez travaille dur pour le presenter❤jai hate de le voir❤comme jai hate de vous voir❤zohra zohra
I wholly agree with your sentiment, on all levels, and I did see Horizon at least partly, if not mostly, on that basis... but, even so, it's a pretty disappointing experience in the theater. Costner's nerve, ambition and influences, however laudable, simply don't make this movie more than it is. Part 2 needs to be a lot better to save this franchise. I'm a fan of both Costner and Westerns, but that's just my honest take on it. That said, audience tastes in the age of the MCU and streaming are no determining factor of quality either; you could make The Godfather today and it would tank while the buzz builds for the upcoming Deadpool/Wolverine nonsense.
Did you actually like the movie?the editing and 16 different story lines constantly changing were very jarring and confusing
It has a nice slow flow with great character development. I’m digging it!
Just finished watching this movie. 10/10. Everyone complaining about the back and fourth story lines clearly lack the intellect to grasp great story setups.
One of the best movies I’ve seen this year, and honestly my new favorite western
So excited to what this franchise is going to become
I agree. 9/10. I've tried to tell whiners that the many plots is like a tapestry of a Western Frontier stories.
Hysterical 😂
Some of the back and fourths were pointless. For example, at one point the movie cuts to a couple sitting in a caravan at night while its raining and they are listening to the sound of thunder, then it cuts to different part of the story again. It does not progress the story in any way, it does not have any character development. pointless.
yeah the Variety/Hollywood Reporter reviewers lack the intellect
You ever heard of a plot diagram buddy
Just watched this movie and liked it. A lot. Old fashion western that doesn’t portray every cavalry soldier as a depraved scalp hunting maniac. Photography and desert scenery alone worth the 3+ hr seating. Good story line, great acting and accurate period settings. Very realistic. No CGI or other special effects. A classic. Cant wait for part two.
Honestly, saw it yesterday and this movie was great enough to get me into a theater for the first times in ages, and am EAGER to Chapter 2. Deep stories within a larger theme, living characters with great acting and holy moly the scenery. America never looked to real or so good. See this one of the big screen.
Does part one feel complete though? or does it feel like they left you hanging and didn't finish they story?
@@TigerLily61811it feels like a prolouge were they are setting things up and it like a tv show
@TigerLily61811 Definitely an introduction to a much larger story. But great experience by itself. Invested in every character.
@TigerLily61811 No, this movie was bad. 3 hours to set up is not a good excuse. It did more than leave you hanging.
@@jayskiles6116 Every? They didn't give us enough time to build them
I really loved this movie! The scope of the movie, the beautiful scenery the wonderful score of the movie, i just loved it. Mr. Costner took the time to flesh out all the characters. So many films now days rush you through the film with no time to digest what you're seeing, as if they're afraid to let there be a quiet moment. But it's the calm before the storm, I'm very sure of that. I can't wait for the next chapter! Thank you for a wonderful movie!
Costner is the man for the western genre love his work and I hope it’s huge for him
This movie was a banger I liked it alot and can’t wait for whats to come.
Always liked Costner's movies, especially the western types. He's made for these roles.
So as Eastwood
Looks like an epic revenge movie targeting Taylor Sheridan; showing him how it's done. Fleeing Yellowstone to create this master vision of the White man wagoning west through the brutal elements, this seems like mandatory theater viewing to me. Love that part two is only a month away. No one has ever done a 2nd movie release in so short of a time frame. Huge props on that move!!! I'm all in!!!
Rest assured, I do trust that Mr. Costner will continually increase the brightness within the mind’s eye and the warmth of the hope in hearts of the audiences as he brings about a stunning conclusion in an epic example of the historical Western vision.
As for Chapter I? Being blinded by the brilliance of genius can negate the opportunity to be blessed by it. Do not miss the chance offered with Horizon.
This was a movie I was very much looking forward to this year and I really loved this movie! I had a fantastic time. I really love the 1800s era and am a huge fan of western movies and when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was amazed. And I play so much of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The cinematography, the action, the set pieces, the music, the characters, etc. just all had my jaw dropping. I sat through the credits while Amazing Grace was playing and just took it all in. These are the kinds of movies I want to see.
Also, it would’ve been awesome to see this movie in IMAX if the movie was shot in IMAX. I can’t wait to see this movie again before seeing Part 2 and I’m so ready for more chapters in this franchise! Kevin Costner delivered!
Can you explain why?I saw it today it was so confusing and the editing was all over the place with all the subpots constantly changing it was very jarring
I personally can't wait! Being old enough to have grown up watching the old John Ford Westerns regularly with my Dad, I appreciate what was good about those films & many more of that era. I still watch them from time to time. I love what comes to the screen thru Costner's mind's eye. I hope this series is successful!
I saw this movie last night and could have watched another hour of it . I was drawn deeply into each character… very realistic for that time Costner did his homework on this historical period … part 2 is definitely on the radar … 4 1/2 out of 5 ! 2 looks even better!
Thanks for the shoutout to John Ford's Cavalry Trilogy. Kevin Costner really does have an appreciation for classic Westerns, and it shows in Horizon just from the trailer alone. Looking forward to the whole quadrilogy.
Great review, JoBlo!
I saw the movie over the weekend I thought it was excellent can't wait for the second installment in August it's an excellent story with lots of ups and downs actually one of the best movies of 2024 in my book Kevin Costner is great actor and it was a good cast I would have liked to seen Robert Duvall in the movie one could hope it's definitely worth the money to see it
Kevin Costner knows how to make a good western. He’s no stranger to that. He’s worked with Lawrence kasdan on that genre with Silverado and Wyatt Earp. And he’s directed westerns like dances with wolves and open range. And appeared in western tv shows like Yellowstone and hatfields and mccoys. This was a long time coming.
Lawrence Kasdan isn’t involved in this movie. But his brother Mark is.
I know that. I’m just saying that Costner is good at westerns.
He’s also made some bad westerns too
Thanks, Andrew. What a font of information you are.
@@RaphaelRemington6969 - what would your opinion of a bad western he's made be?
It was great. Definitely got the feeling that the Best was yet to come ❤️❤️
I really enjoyed the movie and I think it was a great success. It felt very authentic, and I hope Hollywood pays attention to that. This is the kind of movie that can bring people back to the theaters. None of that digital cinema, it's all about genuine storytelling.
Thank god. I hate hearing some of the bad reviews that have been coming in.
I saw it yesterday! Nuanced and very good! I am a one film a year guy, but I am eagerly awaiting part two!!
amazing that you thought that dumpster fire was good
We just left the theater here in Montana. We absolutely LOVED THIS MOVIE! The acting, cinematography, music, animals, horses, cows, children, romance, men, Indians, women, clothing, scenes, everything about this movie was beyond words. I would have sat through it again in a heartbeat. Kevin Costner did it again. This movie will be in our home, right along side Dances with Wolves, Legends of the Fall, Horse Whisperer, A River Runs Through It, All of Client Eastwoods movies, Jeremiah Johnson, I cried my eyes out! I cannot wait to see the remaining three movies. LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!
Reply
Loved it too !! :)
I have been waiting for this movie so long!!! I love a good western. I dont watch the comic book characters...avatars...stupid reality shows..mediocre comedy..ill watch reruns of Wagon Train before ill watch any of that. Im ready for tomorrow so i can go watch it. ND IM A 70 YR OLD CAUCASIAN WIDOW❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Just saw the movie with my mom and dad!! Holy crap was it good! Such a raw and true grit story of the west. Thank you MR. Costner and can’t wait for part 2
Great movie and looking forward to seeing the next movie!
How can you say it was great? It was so boring and none of the characters I cared about.
😂😂 Acting was great cinematography great script was practically worthless. Nobody wants to see shit like this.
@SkeeterDunn ..thats why there is a part 2 and 3 that will explain the story lines...its an epic that will go down in the Western movie history
@@gregpolutanovich1774 Unfortunately for movies like this Chapter 1 has to grab you by the throat. It's the most important part of any epic. If chapter 1 is terrible and this one is. Nobody will want to see chapter 2 or 3 or 4. And while after all 4 chapters are complete maybe it will be a masterpiece but by then the producers will have gone bankrupt. $130M movie at cost has to make at least $280m. And this one will never hit that guarantee.
@@gregpolutanovich1774 Unfortunately that's not how things work. Chapter 1 has to grab you by the throat and make them want to see chapter 2,3 and 4 and this one does not even come close. It's a chaotic mess. This $130m cost has to hit $280M to be profitable and I guarantee it will fail miserably. I know I probably will just wait till the rest of it comes out on Netflix now.
Looks like a great movie! Finally something Hollywood's DEI dept. didn't get their hands on! Awesome!
Finally! A great movie in the theaters! I was hesitant because, well movies haven't had a great track record lately. I can't think of a single movie lately worth watching. If the sequal had been playing in the next theater, I would have gladly went in! Can't wait for this story to unfold! Great job, Kostner! Finally someone who knows how to tell a story again!
My family and I just saw this today and it was EPIC. We absolutely loved it. I liked it so much that I will probably see it again this weekend
Can you explain why?I saw it today it was so confusing and the editing was all over the place,the 16 different subplots constantly changing was very jarring and all over the place
DAMN, A much better review than IGN....
IGN reviewer was just a little b who cried about historical accuracy and how it didn’t go the way he wanted it to. IGN hired morons.
They're butt hurt about it not being a "white man bad" story
@@NeverSaySandwich1 Killers of the Flower Moon
is the mainstream white man bad film and those movies are more likely to win awards as well.
I dunno. At points I thought I was watching a Hallmark TV Western. This movie was trash
Thank you for your intelligent and thoughtful review. I’m sure the character development provided in this instalment will make the eventual action all the more memorable and meaningful.
I absolutely loved it!!! I’m salivating for the 2nd volume. It was a grand sweeping epic!
I can tell you that this is an epic western that left me inspired, moved, excited and teary-eyed a number of times. As a hardcore fan of this genre, trust me when I say this first chapter of “Horizon” delivers and I am very much looking forward to the next film. See it!
My wife and I both saw it and really enjoyed it. I urge people to forget the reviews and see it. We need more movies with no super heros .
It is a great movie !!
Saw it tonight and man was it fantastic..the one fault I'd say are the little flaws in costumes and sets. Like a Brand new shiny tin coffee pot in a camp in the middle of the western frontier. Someone should have dented it and blackened it, and made it look well used also
Too many natives wearing European clothes. Just little things but the story plot, characters, action were all fantastic. He tied 3 story lines of a settlement, a wagon train and a wanderer all in together in the search for land and leaving an old europe they couldn't change..t
I'd love to see it again
The coffee pot is fair but I buy the Apache clothing choice. They had guns so they had contact with outsiders to trade for other things, as well.
@ForlornFreddy certainly in late 1800s but I didn't think most would in 1859 but I'm no expert. I'm not picky. It was a great film. Love to see the other parts. Grateful for a western.
Loved it! Anxiously waiting for Part 2
I pretty much agree everything that you’ve said about the movie. I think the true MVP of the picture is the Film Editor. For those who are deceived by Horizon: Chapter 1’s runtime, you might be surprised how well paced it is. Believe me, Horizon: Chapter 1 moves pretty quickly.
Spot on review! Liked it a lot and eager for more!
I saw the movie yesterday, and I loved it. It was a good setup for the other films. I can't wait for Part 2.
just watched it and loved it
Can you explain why?I saw it today it was so confusing and the editing was all over the place with all the subpots constantly changing it was very jarring
It’s really good, a easy 8 out of 10
It’s obvious flaw is it’s the first of a 3 or 4 parter but it’s a very good film that’s more of a ensemble than a pure Costner vehicle and everyone plays their part so well in it.
Beautiful score and landscapes. The visuals and the music are what stand out so clearly in this film but there are a fair few tense action sequences that rivet you to the screen.
I can only commend Costner and his crew for giving it a hell of a swing and I hope it finds enough success to finish his Saga
I’m ready for this
I loved it. Can't wait for part 2
I hope it does well … so many people on CZcams like to predict this film failing. I think this is exactly what we need right now.

@@linker27 It's true that it goes from one story to another but it never felt a problem for me. It''s all linked aoround Horizon and this Frontier they're all investing theur ives in fir different reasons. A clever and nuanced movie. No good or bad guys, just people struggling with the pace of History !
Love this movie!!!! It’s crazy how refreshing it is to see a CLASSIC WESTERN in the theaters in 2024!!! No stupid superheroes, no remakes, no reboots, no stupid cliche’s, or all the gimmicks that just makes movies total shit nowadays.
This movie IS NOT for your “average movie goer.” This is a Western MADE for people who love Westerns, or just great cinema overall. Kevin Costner didn’t hold back and I love that he didn’t care one bit of adhering to 2024 “identity politics” didn’t care about being “PC” in anyway. No this movie is RAW, VIOLENT and most importantly, HISTORICALLY ACCURATE!!!
We need more quality films like this. Absolute amazing job Kevin Costner!!!
I am about to head to the movie theater to spend 3 hours in the American West. Horizon , I cannot wait . Thank you for a great review !
I’m going tonight at 730 with my girlfriend can’t wait
@@TonySalas-yd3ff I saw it this evening, I think it is really good, now I am ready for Horizon, Chapter 2. Thank you.
@@user-friendly-b6q it was an amazing movie !

@@linker27 I 100% disagree. I’m sorry that you lack basic intellect and have the attention span of a 5th grader
This review is 100% spot on. This is EXACTLY as I felt after seeing Part 1. I felt a serious nod to the classic epic western film making Of Ford over others and I was also struck by how bright the film is. It is a massive story that cannot be contained even in one 3 hour movie and I was sad to reach the ending but gratified to know Part 2 is just a round the corner and not a year away. I thoroughly enjoyed it even if it is a slow build. It was gorgeous and thoughtful. Highly recommended.
Cant' wait for Part 2 ! :)
Amazing review of 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1'! Your insights into the characters and storyline really enhanced my understanding of the film. Can't wait to see more reviews from you. #MovieReview #HorizonSaga #FilmCritique"
I've always loved westerns. I grew up watching John Wayne, Clint Eastwood's "Spaghetti Westerns & his later ones too, with my Dad. My Dad bought a VCR when they first came out (they costed $400+) back then. Bc he wanted to watch Pale Rider when it came out on VHS, but he passed away a few months before it came out. So I made sure I got it & watched by myself, but I knew my Dad's Spirit was there watching it with me. I used to take my Son's & Daughters to the movies every pay day & a special Dad & whichever had a Bday, just us movie. But since they've grown up & started their own traditions with their kids(which makes me happy to see) I haven't been for a while. But I will be going to see each part of this Western Saga & buy it too if it's good enough to be rewatchable.
I agree if two was out I would have went out bought tickets and went back for more.
Wife and I saw it today. It was fantastic. Beautifully shot. Great acting and stories.
It stands on its own but still can't wait for parts 2 & 3.
Can you explain why?I saw it today it was so confusing and the editing was all over the place with all the subpots constantly changing it was very jarring
@@linker27 It's part 1 of 3. The montage at the end are things to come. The stories may tie together or not. I found them all interesting on their own.
You definitely had to be tough back then.
Just saw it and loved all 3 hours of it. Truly epic! Westerns are back!

Nice to see a review of this that didn’t take a shit on it 😂
Clearly he didn't watch it.
7 out 10 is a shit. Lol in high-school anything under a 70 is a F. Lol 70 is a D.
@@Lavonne1what school you go to, sounds like you didn’t do so hot……calm down kenny
@@Lavonne1SOMEONE PISSED IN YOUR CORN FLAKES DIDNT THEY?
Agreed. It's been sabotaged by awful Hollyweird reviews.
I loved this movie so much! I am looking forward to the next installment. I don't understand why some people are having difficulty following the various storylines. They are all clearly defined and interesting. I guess in this day and age, perhaps peoples attention spans have winnowed away to that of a gnat. Anyway, big huge thumbs up. A good old fashioned, classic feeling Western.
I loved it too !
Watched it last night. Chapter 1 got me hooked for the rest of the series. Sort of perplexed on how it's being released.

Going to take my 70 something year old mom to see it. She loved Costner since field of dreams. I was also taken to see Dances with Wolves by her so it only feels right.
Great review.
Oh, watch out - there's a semi-long nudity scene at like the mid point. When the upper class lady starts sneakily taking water from a barrel at night and begins to wash her face that may be good time to get a refill lol. Might get uncomfortable watching it with your parent (And maybe not, I guess I don't know your relationship, just want to give a heads up!)
@spacemanspud7073 that's very nice of you.
The only part where i felt a little uncomfortable / was the lady with child who Costner character takes with him, the sex in the tent after his first day of work with the chinese/minors
"Just lay there ' 🤣😂
My ma did point out one thing though about the film that I agreed with. Two things.
"They aren't dirty enough, Kevin Coasters bandana looked like silk! And everyone's teeth are too nice". 🤣😂
Like it was said in the review, we do want to see part two.
Cheers!
Saw it. Excellent review, but I'd give it a 9 out of 10. A 3-hour long movie that doesn't seem like 3 -hours long is an accomplishment to itself.
Same ! Heard everywhere it's too long but it felt way faster than many 2hrs blockbuster ! Would cut 15 min but not more wich is crazy on 3 hours ! Great Movie ! Hail Costner
Jeff Fahey is great in the moviw
I saw it and it was absolutely amazing. Beautiful scenery. Loved the musical score. Tearjerking for sure. The sets and locations and costumes. The acting was good, more the dramatic sequences were edge of the seat at times. Lots of story at times, but some movies you have to want to pay attention. You have to earn it's time. And when it was over, even though I was on their long journey, I was surprised it ended then. I wanted to see more. !!! I will definitely be there for part two and beyond. Costner's intro riding the horse was great !!!
So basically it's like How The West Was Won but multiple movies
That was my way of thinking too.
I think it wants to be that, but misses the mark by a fair distance. Part 2 needs to save this franchise.
Got my ticket for tonight, I can’t wait!
Watched it today.
Was great! Cant wait for part 2.
Finally a movie for adults with a working brain.
Can you explain why?I saw it today it was so confusing and the editing was all over the place with all the subpots constantly changing it was very jarring
@@linker27 , I enjoyed it because of the slow pacing and patient world building.
Can understand that its not for everyone.
But lets reserve judgement until we see how part 2 binds the threads together.
Agreed.
I really want to see this in the theater to support it but 3 hours!? Thats a long time to sit in a theater
Gotta appreciate it
I could have watched another hour of this movie… the characters will draw you into the movie and you will forget about time .
@davelatimer1269 I just watched it this afternoon and I thought it was a masterpiece. So so good.
It's definitely worth seeing in the theater and 3 hours felt like two the TV won't do it justice
I might be in the minority here- but it was tedious to watch. The plot jumps around too much and is difficult to follow. I also did not connect with any of the characters. Just my opinion.
Every frame worthy of a painting.
Im looking forward to this movie - this looks epic.
Saw this yesterday and I can't wait for the next segment! The story lines were a bit hard to follow just because there was so much to get set for the storylines, but each storyline is very well developed and leaves you wanting more. Three hours went by so fast! Go see it!
It already leaked on torrent. Perfect copy. The movie was fantastic. Costner and everyone was amazing.
We'll buy a ticket and support it if you like it
@@kendallandrews8691 Nope. I’m not going to a theater to get Covid or some other disease. I also don’t feel like getting shot or paying $9 for a soda(pop) and $10 for popcorn.
@@ThinCrustPizzzza I can’t imagine living through life being THAT paranoid… especially for getting Covid??? lol
Natural selection I guess. 🤷🏽♂️

I’m a Kevin Costner fan and love westerns however I did find it disjointed. I liked it but I’m sorry it felt like something was missing or storylines just didn’t work together.
First time in a movie theater in at least ten years. Not disappointed! This is going to be great! Can’t wait for chapter two to release.
Hell of a cast and looks pretty but ultimately bit off more than it could chew. If the first 2 bomb we may never see the concluding parts next year. Maybe it will find an audience on streaming
Just not on Paramount+ . That bridge is burnt.
Thank you JoBlo Bro a great review and take on all as always
Thank you for an honest, fair review.
Spot on review. Saw it last night. Best thing to come out of Hollywood in at least a decade.
I'm halfway through the video and he's not said a damn thing about the plot yet so I'm extremely curious to how it's spot on....unless this three hour movie is so basic nothing really happens
So the best thing to come out of Hollywood in a decade is a 3 hour movie of setups with nothing actually happening? Oh how low the bar has been set..
@@VHBEngines plenty happens in this movie but nobody wants to spoil it. Of course those who haven't seen it have the biggest mouths.
@@beau__ So you haven't seen it but you're still running your mouth like a moron.

A great review - no trashy hype, like your style & will def give horizon 1 a viewing now that I’ve seen this review 💪🏼🎥✒️👍🌞
Just saw the film a few hours ago and I can’t stop thinking about it! Keep in mind this film is just Part I, a setup for things to come. Great characters! The cast is outstanding, BTW.
I hope you are right in your evaluation of this film!
Saw this movie yesterday. I can’t wait to see part 2. Part 1 was wonderful. It was not well attended but most of the 30 or so people applauded at the end of the movie. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard people applaud for a movie. This is a good movie to see on the big screen as it is beautifully films and very outhentic.
The scene where the two family members get buried alive literally made me want to leave the movie theater (because I’m claustrophobic) overall the movie was pretty good 9/10!
This is cool release part 2 2 months later. I'm going to support these just for the concept alone.. plus ha makes good movies.
Big motherfukkin risk right there
Although it got bad reviews, I really enjoyed this movie and will give it 4 out of 5 stars. Not a whole lot of action but I loved the story of the old west.
I am sick sick sick of super heroes. Saddle up, partners. It's tine for a western Renaissance!
I agree with you 100% the movies in the last couple years have been crap I thought it was an excellent movie
Can’t wait to see this movie !,
I just saw it yesterday, first showing and I was late (dammit) thinking there would be previews of obnoxious upcoming attractions. My wife said to me doesn't make sense. I admit there were a wee bit too many speaking parts but I held on. I'll be there for part II in a few weeks.
I love classic Westerns, so I'm in. Hope it works out for Costner and revitalizes the genre....but I am skeptical.
Well, many people seem to love it and I envy you. I couldn't connect and couldn't care less for most of characters or storylines. I didn't like the casting, many characters annoyed me, I didn't like watching them, or they were not as captivating as characters in Dances with Wolves for example. I love good long movies, I absolutely loved 1883, but this left me actually angry and I never left my seat so quickly after the weird trailer ending. BUT, I do acknowledge that there might be some master plan for all these storylines that bored me and eventually I'll be able to appreciate the whole thing. But if I was left with only this chapter, I would simply never wanted to watch it again.
You must not be a true western fan. We loved it❤❤❤
I am probably going to see it tonight. This movie looks amazing. I have been a Kevin Costner fan since Robin hood Prince of Thieves came out when I was kid. It is awesome that it was filmed in my home state of Utah.
Really wanted to like this movie but the pacing was too slow/boring with too many storylines and characters for me to keep track of them. Felt like we didn't really get to know any of them very well as a result.
It's an epic, it's only the first part of 4 that will come out. Assuming Coster doesn't quit on it (see season 5, Yellowstone)
@@johnedward8352 "Wait until part 6 comes out. It'll explain everything". This sounds like Star Wars fan logic.
@@titusmccarthy It's not that it will "explain", the next parts will probably just expand the story, the same way the first Dune was "boring" to lots of people because it took its time to set the world, so that part 2 of Dune can fly high. The same is kinda with the LORT trilogy - the Fellowship has a lot more world building and is slower paced but it's amazing none the less and watching both the Fellowship or Dune part 1 alongside their second parts makes them even better.
@titusmccarthy lol maybe so. I haven't seen Horizon yet. I hope it's not the same as Star Wars. I definitely trust Kevin Costner's vision over Disney though, any day.
@koki6te That's what I'm hoping with this too! Great comparison
Wow, is that background music from the movie's soundtrack? If not, it worked and made your review very compelling.
Hearing the score is epic. This is not it
I've had three days to think about this film, having seen it on Thursday, and while I still think its a bit of a mess, its somehow my favorite movie of the year.
N.b. "cal-ver-ee" is a hill in Golgatha, outside of Jerusalem. "cav-all-ree" are mounted horse soldiers. They are spelled and pronounced differently but commonly confused...😊
I saw it yesterday and I loved it! Going back all of them!
Thank you for your review. Great movie, really beautiful and your heart tears, I love the epic filmography, great acting, not classic, Kevin is a storyteller par excellence. For young people it is also the new or revaluation of the love for the language. Finally a different way of filming, which was a thousand times the truth, in an honest way. Beautiful cinematic manners since... ? After Horizon four, we will watch Horizon the American Saga for a weekend at least once a year!
1st hour was excellent and fantastic. Second hour when they introduced Costner and a flirtatious love interest with Kimmie Gibbler I was rolling my eyes every scene with those two. To me it's weird in this movie that Costner feels very out of place in this movie compared with everyone else.
I just saw it today. Great movie. Can't wail for chapter 2 to come out. Reminded me of the old westerners I use to watch as a kid.
Too long. The wife and I will watch on streaming because we are Costner fans.❤❤❤
I saw the film a few days ago and found myself becoming more and more invested in the world and characters.
TRUE GRIT & its sequel, which is self-titled ROOSTER COGBURN with Katherine Hepburn, also, his last movie THE SHOOTIST are my favorite JOHN WAYNE westerns.
This is the first positive review I've heard. The biggest criticism I've heard is that subplots never get resolved but keep setting up the next episode, never giving any answers like kicking a can down the road.
well its a 4 part movie..tv series do that all the time. look at GOT
I’m surprised you guys haven’t done a revisit/best movie you never saw of his underappreciated western open range with Robert Duvall.
This is probably the best movie of all time. It’s just so so good! Go see it.
I'm just going to say it. I'm all in for a 3 hour movie, IF they provide me the courtesy of a bathroom break.
I would have loved a break.
