  • I loved this...I'm all in and looking forward to part 2! Good advise: let the movie unfold.
  • @kawedel
    Totally agree. I'm down for all four parts. So is my wife, who ordinarily is not a huge Western fan. We had a blast the next day talking about how much we loved it and trying to guess what might be ahead.

    I agree with you 100 percent if you don’t go in understanding it’s essentially a miniseries you will miss the narrative . I loved it and can’t wait until part 2 . Oh and the theater I saw was basically empty. I’m a film nut and stay for credits when I turned around I was the only one in the theater.
  • I really enjoyed this reviewer's take on Horizon. It's exactly what I wanted to hear. It's a 4-part series, where Costner appears more and more in each movie. It's a process, building over the four to achieve the entire vision. Don't judge too quickly, let this film wash over you. It's a slow burn and the finale will be grand, rest assured!

    Loved it! And I’m looking forward to the next chapters. If Chapter 2 was playing today I’d head right over to see it.
  • Saw it Tuesday night with my girlfriend and my oldest son (9) I liked it my son liked it , said he was definitely down for part two opening day.
  • 1962 How the West was Won had many stories that came together in 3 hours. Many famous actors were in it: Gregory Peck, Debbie Reynolds, George Peppard, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Eli Wallach, Harry Morgan, Karl Maldon

    I don't even follow movies much anymore unless it's you or other YouTubers. But this one looks like a solid film. I always liked Costner's acting and style and choice in films. I love The Mothman Prophecies. I have a super nostalgic spot for it, but I know it's TECHNICALLY not nearly as great as many of his other films. I love pretty much everything he's ever done I think. Even Waterworld is fun. I remember in middle school when my mom told me about the movie and we watched it.

    Dude! Saw it today. I was enthralled with this movie!!! I can't wait for part 2! Loved the characters and scenery. I wish Jamie was in it more but saw that the motivation to move the story was the reason.
  • @ericmack001
    Your review was so positive that now I want to see the movie.
  • So right off the bat I just have to say that it’s not “missing from the marketing” at all. It’s on every single poster and in every trailer. In every piece of press for the film the fact that it is a 4-part episodic series is talked about. Every poster for the film says “chapter 1 June 28th chapter 2 August 16th”. It’s been very clearly spelled out. That being said, this is a great review. You really understood the movie.
  • Good review! I really dig your Alucard comparison (now I can’t un-see it), and now I wanna visit Utah! 😄 I watched this film with a friend. I enjoyed the movie, but methinks you and my friend liked it a little more than I did, which is cool. But even I have to say, that trailer in the end got both of us pumped, and he and I vowed on the spot to watch Chapter 2, come August! 😄

    I am thrilled to see more westerns coming out recently. I certainly hope we can get more as the superhero genre begins to fade. I’m very excited to see this one and the other one that Viggo Mortensen made recently. That three hour run time was a dealbreaker for me today though. I work HVAC and had gotten off a particularly rough on-call shift yesterday, so I decided to take the day off. I had it in my mind that I was going to go and see this movie, but by the time I was ready to go and by the ticket, I knew that I would be falling asleep halfway through. Which brings us back to a discussion we had on one of your other videos, a while back, they need to bring back the intermission for movies longer than two hours(or maybe just ones pushing past that 245 Mark) Anyway, great review! 👍🏼
  • @jddrafts
    Loved it. I will definitely be going to see part two.
  • @pizzaman6784
    I really hope all four movies get to be made too, I really love epic, long, cinematic movies like this, and am looking forward to the day when I can order a pizza and marathon and get immersed in these movies.
  • @famousdex7327
    I thought it was pretty good,I'm definitely ready for part two

    I don’t know the best way to message you so I will just do it here. First of all I just wanted to say I LOVE your channel and second I know you do fan edit reviews and I’ve done a couple interesting ones. The first is a cut of the hobbit trilogy (I know another one but hear me out) all the cuts I’ve seen are 3 and a half to 4 and a half hours and mine is even closer to the book and only 2hr 45 minutes in length and the other is a cleverly cut kind of different PG-13 cut of Deadpool (2016) i know you likely you won’t review it (it would be the coolest thing ever if you did though) but I would at least like to send you them i just don’t know where to do it. Either way awesome channel keep up the great work and let me know. 🙂
  • @noworries272
    I want to see it. A little worried that part 1 isn't doing well and whether he finishes it out is concerning.
