This movie was incredible. I get it that people are lost and unable to think outside the box on this tying together threads of what’s to come. It’s brilliantly done and the scenery and editing are epic. The bad reviews are sadly from people unable to grasp the concept of where it’s going. Bravo I can’t wait to see it again and I’m very much looking forward to the next episode in the saga.
Terrible movie. Scenery was beautiful. Content was weird. It made not sense.
I get it, some people are way over educated for their IQ which causes insecurities that are related in reviews as negative comments. If you are a linear thinker and never understood those topics that require abstract thinking, this movie is not for you. However, for the rest of us, it was a great start to an epic production. Kudos Kevin!
Even though it was the beginning to the western saga and three more are coming, it was hard not to remember that this is a contributing factor as to why Yellowstone was never completed. That said, it was very well done and I find myself replaying the movie in my mind and I am anxious to see the other three episodes. Hopefully, this will educate the youth as to how hard life was in the new world in the late 1800's. It isn't called the wild west for nothing.
Costner nailed it again, screw the hater’s.
Zero effort was put into this movie to make any sense. Kevin K s directing abilities were non existing. This is more like the opposite of Dancing with Wolves. I hope to save a lot of misery for viewers not to watch. Worst movie I watched in decades.
No dislikes. Liked the feel of the movie, the different stories, the compassion for God's creatures, the beautiful cinematography and the flawless editing and last but not least the music. Could not believe it was three hours long. The time flew by. Will see it again. Can't wait for the next movie. Once again, Costner shines in his storytelling.
After all they hype of how good this flick is, I was greatly disappointed by how boring it was. Disjointed, tedious, a three hour ad for some historical movie that's supposed to be wonderfully made and tells it "the way it was".. "Saga" is an apt title for this... it's a tremendous saga just to survive the viewing. I was ready to leave after ten minutes of disjointed vignettes with nothing to say. Worse, I was embarrassed at having asked others to come see it with me, redeemed by knowing that at least I bought the tickets so they were only ouot three hours of productive entertainment.
Humans couldn't make it today; most don't understand what people went through and could never live through what others did.
It's all over the place and ends in the middle of nowhere. And it took 3 hrs to get there.
