It is indeed a very enjoyable movie. I watched it last night.
I completely agree with you about the ending. It was rather bittersweet and not really what I wished for, but it is still a great ending.
I was so immersed in the story, I couldn’t believe it had been 3 hours. When it ended, I wanted to walk directly into the theater to see part two. It was an incredible experience. I love the old west, and I’ve never felt like I was actually living and experiencing the lives of those people. I also loved the morality that gets brought into question, the boy who witnessed the Natives kill his family, then realizes revenge isn’t everything he thought it would be. What kind of man will he turn out to be? A bitter man who uses a grudge to make him a bad man? Or forgive and forget, move on and realize the whole world (especially Natives) aren’t the bad guys. That intense scene in the gun shop where he’s squared up with a Native was Incredible. It was the most intense moment in a film since “No Country For Old Men.” When the antagonist is asking the clerk about the coin flip. Then, the Wagon Train story, you have a guy who isn’t a bad man, but he’s an artist who has his head in the clouds being scolded by the trail boss. On the other hand, you have the duality of two hard working men pulling their weight, so they think they’re entitled to take whatever they want (the woman bathing). And the moral line in the middle of the man with the rough looking daughters. I can’t wait to see where that goes. Finally, the love story of the widowed woman and the military Calvary man. All leading to the town of “Horizon” being built eventually. Which will be the Old West town in the fourth film. So we see the journey of the settlers and how the town came to be. The hardships and the struggles. Finally, the Costner character being a traditional American hero who saves the damsel in distress, not because he is in love with her, but because it’s the honorable thing to do. Even if she’s a prostitute. No ulterior motives. Wow, it’s so sweeping as an Epic too. I’m just so PUMPED! I haven’t seen an adult film in theaters that doesn’t spoon feed you the narrative and lets you see the story unfold naturally in years. Maybe since “There Will Be Blood”! 10/10. Loved it.
Kevin didn't pay for the whole movie himself. Some private Financiers gave him the first $100 million. Kevin paid for everything beyond that needed to get the film finished and all the Marketing costs, which was at Least $38 Million and probably a Lot more. After 10 days, the movie has only sold $22 mil worth of tickets. Not good.
That is true, but still respect to Costner for putting up millions of dollars to get his vision out. I do think there will be some deal with a streaming service in the future to make up some of the difference in the box office losses. So if you liked this movie I don’t think you should be too worried about the rest not releasing.
@@kaneeddy I think there is ZERO chance of there being a part 3 and 4, since Chapter 1 just Lost $100 Million. Why would anyone keep throwing good money after bad? The box office returns from #1 were supposed to pay for the production costs on #3. If Kevin has any sense at all, he'll cancel the Aug. 16 release of Chapter 2. Once #1 is finished petering out at the box office, then put it out on Home video. IF he lucks out and #1 Catches an audience on streaming, then release #2 later on.
I actually do think it may catch on streaming I mean just looking at my comments section a lot of people seem to like this. I don’t understand it but hey people enjoyed it and it seems like the generation that is into this movie don’t go to theatres all that often. I know 2 is releasing no matter what because it has already been made and both 3 and 4 I believe have already been written. It could be possible that they may release those last 2 on a slightly smaller budget purely for streaming which I think better suits these movies anyway.
@@kaneeddy If you read the comments in any Horizon thread a Lot of people "said" they were going to See the movie. Obviously most of them were lying. Horizon needed at least 20 million people to buy tickets just hope to break even. But only 2 million people showed up. For comparison, 100 million have seen Inside Out 2.
A movie for men, not "Girly men" with barbie dolls! lol Go Costner go!! Love how the Indians spoke authetic apache in this movie, and how instead of grouping them all in one group, he let us know that they themselves were divided, some attacked settlers, many did not and comdemmed it. Great movie full of awesome moments. Again, this is not for "girly men" who live in their parents' basement and use pronouns, those chilldren will fall asleep with their pacifiers in their mouths! lol . This is a men's movie like Top Gun.
If you’re aiming your comments at me then I need to assure you I like all kinds of movies I’m not here to isolate the kinds of movies I watch because I’m insecure about my masculinity. Movies like Top Gun Maverick are fantastic, which I happily discussed on this platform. If we’re talking modern westerns with longer runtimes, Killers of the Flower Moon is incredible which I also covered. I like experimental and auteur stuff from A24, and yes I like to have a blast with my fiancé and enjoy a movie like Barbie which once again have all been discussed here. I didn’t like this movie, I tried to be as fair as I could to it, but you know sometimes movies just don’t work for you. It’s not a personal attack if I didn’t like a movie you loved. I’m sure you hate certain movies I like but I could not care less because we’re not the same person.
Your an adult man with funko pops and a barbie bucket on you shelf, your opinion shouldn't be taken seriously.
You’re*
I love this movie. The ending was so bittersweet. I had to sit in the dark and get myself together. But I was happy they both had a new friend who needed them. I cried a lot during this. Perfect movie. Recommend it to everyone.
I just want to say I aplaud the movie for having the balls to be unapologetaly dark telling this more serious story. You won't see stuff like this in Kids films these days very often at least not with this kind of tone.
I completely agree it’s good to have a film that can explain elements that happen in someone’s life while still being friendly for a child to watch.
This is the best film I have seen come out of the box office since _Top Gun: Maverick_ . It seems lately that all one needs to do to figure out if a movie is worth seeing is to watch the review of a Millennial. Then do the exact opposite.
So Oppenheimer just doesn’t exist in your world. That’s crazy to me. Best movie since Top Gun Maverick? I guess we like what we like but for me I can think of a fair few movies. Glad you enjoyed this movie though it looks like you’re in for a treat with the other movies coming out.
Pretty sure he's genz bro but whatever
Funny. I found it(sp) incredibly well done. When it ended I had to check my watch. I did not realize that much time had passed. I can't wait to see the rest of them. Perhaps it is your intellect that is the problem? You appear to be one of those from the "feed me" generation. But it is apparently beyond the intellectual or spiritual reach of the short-attention-span, instant gratification, spoon-fed generation. It's not your fault. You are mentally and spiritually damaged. Your parents are to blame. I loved this movie and look forward to the next chapters.
There are plenty of movies within this genre that have similar runtimes that I adore, my channel is littered with reviews that support longer films that requires some thought behind them. I am pretty sure my intellect isn’t the problem this movie isn’t complex at all. Maybe if someone doesn’t agree with your opinion on a movie don’t personally attack them idk. I’m happy to have a lively debate which can be had without the insults.
@@kaneeddy Nice try, broken fellow. But you are lying now. You made truth claims in this video - NOT _just_ presentations of opinion. And as I said before, it is not entirely your fault. Your generation can't even tell the difference between those two things. At least you did not display prejudice, a common trait I find in many others claiming to offer opinons, but then speaking in the logcial language of truth claims. Absolutely nothing I could say will wake you from your woke slumbers, or help you understand anything remotely outside your own perspective because you do not understand the language. Your generation was programmed to speak and understand ONLY a _version_ of the language that has been twisted to serve a political purpose. I am not a professional linguist, but ithis truth was shown to me by an actual professional linguist. You'd be better served to move along and speak to those in your generation. Nothing good will come from further conversation between us and I respect you enough to save you from wasting your time. I will pray for you and wish you the best. Good bye. p.s. You got a thumbs up for your attitude and openness - rare commodities in your generation.
Horizon is an excellent movie.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
If you haven’t watched Dances With Wolves. Do it asap. Masterpiece. If all 4 are made this will be good. But dances with wolves should be shown in every classroom in America mandatory. It is credited as a leading influence for the revitalization of the Western genre of filmmaking in Hollywood. In 2007, Dances with Wolves was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Thank you for the recommendation. It has been on my watch list for a while I just haven’t found the time to check it out yet. What you’re saying might be the thing that pushes me to go see it so thank you!!
@@kaneeddy it’s incredible. When you win 7 Academy Awards including best picture and Costner wins director in his very first role. 3 golden globes. Beat out Goodfellas and Scorsese for best picture and director as well as The Godfather 3. It’s a Timeless movie
@@kaneeddy please do update and let me know what you think when you get around to it. Hope you get a chance. A true epic film
Duck piss me off lol
Good review, but I'm curious to hear what you thought was so obvious about the mid-credit RMF scene. I have my own ideas about it, but a lot of people seem to be unsure what the significance - if any - there was to it. You made it sound like the film was beating you over the head to drive a point home, but that's not really the vibe I've gotten from hearing other people discuss it.
Thank you so much, I do think on the metaphorical side RMF leaves a lot of room for speculation. But for me RMF is just the tangible link between these stories to illustrate that they all exist in the same world. I believe Yorgos spoke on the character in a similar fashion just mentioning it was just fun element that links the stories. Kinds of Kindess is already linked thematically through the stories themselves but I had suspected that the characters while played by the same actors represent different types of people. I had already suspected this and when it reveals in that scene that the character is still RMF to me was just that confirmation. It is definitely fun but I didn’t really need it personally. If you do look at this like the rest of the movie trying to analyse the deeper meaning behind the character that is where you get the varied thoughts and opinions. But sometimes Yorgos is just playful and not everything has a deeper meaning and I am fine thinking that is all RMF is. I know there are theories that also work like how he represents the key element of Kindness in each story which can be plausible and I am having fun looking into that as well.
Shared.
There is _nothing_ an 'R' rating would have improved in these two movies. The coherency of the story is not rating dependent. The (lack of) complexity of the characters and their individual character growth is not rating dependent. The "Snyder Cut" is just a marketing buzzword now. It's meaningless. All that we would get in an 'R' version is nudity (almost certainly all women) and gore. And even the added runtime is nonsense. He could have gotten each movies, with whatever scenes he deliberately cut for "Snyder Cut" version, in under 2 hours _just by cutting 95% of the slow-motion._
I completely agree with you here, I will not be wasting my time with the Snyder cut on either of these movies. He had a good reason with Justice League but now it is being taken too far. Many film makers are able to get their vision out so why is Snyder the only one who can’t seem to get it right the first time. This isn’t a High School project where you have a draft. People are paying money to see these movies so he should fight harder for his version rather than constantly short change the audience and then try to make it up to us later.
I’m looking forward to this!
I know a lot of people say the end was good, but i can't shake the idea that dog will live and die believing the robot is dead because of him, like, why he don't even get to talk with, at least show him that he is alive, this is just disturbing and no one can convince me that this is a good final for a movie
Great review! Homelander is also my favourite character in the show. Did you enjoy episode 6? Because from what I heard it sounds so insane lol
I won’t spoil episode 6 but the season picks up a lot of steam at that point. 6 is a great episode.
@@kaneeddy Great to hear! Also can you please tell if Homelander is gonna get more screen time in the next three episodes? Because there was not enough of him in episode 5
Yes he is in it more, and everything I saw was filled with tension and does go in some interesting directions.
you literally said what I wanna say about this masterpiece and you sound like a perfect movie discussion buddy to me lol love from Hong Kong!
Thank you so much. That means a lot. I’m so happy you enjoyed the film. It’s always fun talking movies!!
I haven't cried that much over a cartoon robot since Megatron killed Optimus Prime. But for God's sake, why couldn't the *four* of them be friends?!
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Just finished watching Furiosa and agree with most of your points. This film is *very* different from Fury Road and I think that is what disappointed most people. Rather than just trying to top Fury Road and give us *more* of everything, Miller instead goes in a different direction and gives us a more traditional, more "normal," film. Rather than just one long 2-hour chase, Furiosa has more plot, more story and more dialogue. Hemsworth was *so* good in this and so funny; definitely the film's MVP. Playing a warlord that's too stupid to be afraid of anyone else, he blindly throws his minions at every challenge, never stopping to consider consequence or nuance. Let's hope we don't have to wait another decade for the next chapter in this saga:)
I think the fact that it dares to try something different makes it pretty memorable. I loved Furiosa’s journey and I think it makes Fury Road become one epic movie if you watch both movies back to back. It definitely has its flaws but for the most part this film flew by and I had a great time. Hemsworth was so good in this movie and I think he really enhances the screenplay with his performance. I am pretty interested to see where George Miller goes next and hopefully as you said it doesn’t take 10 years.
@@kaneeddy Since seeing it, it is only improving even more in my mind. And most of those thoughts are with Hemsworth's character. He does terrible things throughout the whole film and yet the character is so goofy and good natured, I'm bummed that we won't get another film just with him. But that's the brilliance of Miller's films; his world building and characters are almost second to none:)
Exactly and I think whatever Miller does next will be pretty interesting too. I believe that Dementus is definitely one of the best characters I’ve seen in this universe.
I'm a little disappointed it's not the Emma Stone show as it was marketed that way. Jesse is a great actor, but not as next level as Emma can be. If they had just marketed Jesse Plemons as the lead I wouldn't be as disappointed I think.
I also thought the marketing was a little misleading and can see how that would be disappointing especially seeing how phenomenal Emma Stone was in Poor Things. I did really love what Jesse Plemons did in this film though.
Watch the past versions first. They are different visions and both totally worth your time. When you see Rob's version then you will be able to see the tributes he pays to the previous films along with his own twist.
Just finished this last night after going into it completely blind. I saw season 1 once when it first came out but never got around to S2 or S3. Although I'm still mulling Night Country over, it looks like I liked it more than most. For now, let me just say how great it was to see Jodie Foster again after not seeing her in anything for a long time:)
I think I’m in the same boat as you because it seemed like a lot of people really hated it. I think it’s pretty solid but nowhere near the quality of season 1 which was one of the best seasons of TV ever. Jodie Foster was outstanding, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her give a bad performance and I really liked her role in this season.
@@kaneeddy Yeah, I was fine with it, pretty much enjoyed it all the way thru and so I was kind of shocked that so many hated it. I only saw season 1 when it was first on and don't remember much about it. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong but wasn't there a backlash against season 1 when it ended with people disappointed that all the supernatural hints turned out to be nothing? Maybe that was just me:)
@@kaneeddy I'd love to go back and check out seasons 1-3 but I rarely have HBO (I barely got thru Night Country before my 1 week trial ended).
I have no idea what the reaction to season 1 was when it came out as I only saw it for the first time a year or two ago and was just blown away by every second of it. To me it was a perfect season of television. From what I saw of 2 I didn’t enjoy it all that much and I haven’t seen 3 although I heard it’s good. In Australia we don’t have HBO or Max instead we have Binge which is basically the same thing but worse and it is one of the most expensive streaming services we have (although Netflix is getting up there now). I have been meaning to cancel my subscription but they just keep releasing shows that I’m really into like right now I’m watching House of the Dragon. Maybe after that’s done I’ll cancel it for a bit haha.
@@kaneeddy A question for our modern age: How many streaming subscriptions are too many? LOL
Having just discovered that trailer a half hour ago, I'm sitting here thinking how much I love Eggers' work and up pops your video:) Why am I not surprised that you're a fan of him, as well? Does it release on Christmas day by you, too?
Eggers is such a great film maker. All of his films so far have been incredibly captivating with The Lighthouse being one of my favourite movies ever. This trailer looked so good and pretty much gives me no reason to doubt that this will be amazing. At this stage idk when it is going to release where I am. Australian release dates are all over the place. I think based off releases around this time I might get to see this as early as the day after Christmas or early January. I remember I saw The Lighthouse about 6-7 months after the US release. It has gotten better overtime but for a while it seemed like Australian theatres were only interested in whatever the big studios were doing and that’s it. This was so frustrating when many places like the US had the blu ray available and the theatres here are saying “see it first at our theatre” it’s so dumb but I am glad that I am noticing that happen a lot less.
🎥📽️🃏
They pulled it from the local cinema, :0( So, I've ordered it on BluRay. TY again !
Well done. TY. Have not seen the film yet.
i just saw it with my friend and i wanna say that dont be embarassed that you were a blubbering mess, im a 16 yr old male and i BALLED my eyes out, its a soul crushing and such an uplifting movie at the same time. you perfectly described it here
Thank you so much. I can’t wait to check the movie out again at some point. The first time I was not expecting it to hit me the way it did and it has just really stuck with me overtime. I’m glad you enjoyed it too!!!
I just saw it and I am a blubbering mess. This movie had me tearing up every 5 minutes for nearly the entire hour and a half run time. Your review is spot on and the words you chose to describe this film (without spoilers) are perfect. It is a “phenomenal” achievement and I hope word of mouth spreads long and far because I have not been this emotional over a film in a long time.
Thank you for the kind words that means a lot to me. The film was just so incredibly moving, even now that it has been quite some time since I’ve seen it I still feel some of those emotions when a trailer for it pops up or certain images from the film. This movie will live on forever for those who decide to watch it and I really hope many people get to experience how incredible this movie is.
@@kaneeddy You are very welcome. I saw it alone and really needed to process my emotions. Your review perfectly articulate everything I was feeling. Thank you : )
This movie was garbage. Why would Robot not let Dog know he was all right? Instead he was content to let Dog think he killed his best friend. The movie chose a sad ending simply to try and be relevant.
I need lol
Great video :) keep making content
Inside Out is one of my favourite Pixar movies and this movie lived up to its sequel potential! I loved the inclusion of Anxiety and how they continued to give layers and nuance to each emotion’s purpose. I also loved that they gave Riley more of a character in this one. The wit and humour were as sharp as ever. Reminded me of the classic Pixar I grew up loving. Great review
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I loved Inside Out and loved this as a sequel, both would be top 10 Pixar movies to me. The way that this evolved to include a slightly older generation and that error of life was so well told and the way anxiety was explained in such a simple way was truly stunning.
The idea of kindness in the film shocked me because i never thought in that way. I never associate kindness with submission, obviously in the film the concept is carried at his extreme, but it works. The first script is my favourite, I think is the most straightforward to understand, i don’t get completely the other two, there are especially in the third a lot of religious/esoteric themes so i think i need a rewatch. In conclusion is a good film, with a dark view that suits the style of the director.
I agree with you on so many points here. Yorgos is a director that deals with extremes to really bring home the messages in his films and he does push that here. I think the first story is the best too, it just had the right combination of themes, whacky moments and intriguing characters that really worked. 2 and 3 are fine to me but do get a little wishy washy at points until the final moment of the movie which I thought blatantly told us what he was getting at with the story. It was a great movie even if it was flawed and I am interested in checking it out again to have even more of a clear focus of the narrative.
@@kaneeddy It’s not too much time that I’m into movies but this is the second film of Yorgos (Poor Things was the first) and the greek director loves to made long films, Kind of Kindness have a length of 164 alike Poor Things. At some point in both films some scenes were really boring, (2 and 3 scripts have a lot of this moment), i think Yorgos want to test his audience 😅
I will comment next week that the movie premieres in London - thanks for the review
Awesome. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!!
Finally I'm not the only one.
I'm so glad that film is allowing more people to experience this story. My wife and I bought the comic at Comic Con years ago when it came out - we had just discovered First-Second publishers, and grabbed up a bunch of their recommendations. We sat in a line for a panel and started reading it together, laughing and smiling as it went, quietly commenting as we both moved through the story. I haven't seen the film, but it sounds like it ends EXACTLY the same way, because we were both sitting there, weeping over this little book, and smiling at the same time. It is maybe a case of perfect graphic storytelling. I can't wait to see the movie and be broken again.
That is such a great story!! I would love to read the book one day. The film does do things that can only be done in that format, even from what I hear if the narrative is very similar to the graphic novel. I think the movie is worth watching because of what it does as a cinematic experience.
I watched this movie with pupils. It impressed us deeply. It shows by not showing. A masterpiece.
I totally agree!
Next movie will be Empire of The Planet of The Apes, there will be pyramids, and the protagonist will be named Moses.
Saw "Dracula" in theaters on first release; loved it then and still love it now. Haven't seen the film in at least a decade but I still remember how cool and unusual all the practical effects were. And before you even mentioned it here, I was thinking about that scene where Dracula's shadow acts out on it's own:) I liked how the film pulled no punches when dealing with the vampires feeding on the newborn. One of my very favorite Coppola films, it was nominated for 4 Oscars and won 3.
The Oscar’s it won were so deserving. I would have loved to have seen this in theatres it would have been pretty mind blowing. I think the practical effects and shadows will be the thing I think about first when it comes to this movie, it’s just such an inspired stylistic choice.
To be honest, her only likely competition could be Saoirse Ronan for The Outrun if she's nominated. As of now, she definitely could win
After seeing the trailer for The Outrun I do think Saoirse Ronan could be in the mix. But I think Anora potentially being in the Best Picture race also could really boost Mikey Madison’s chances of winning.
This instantly became one if my favorite movies of all time.
Safe is the perfect word to describe this movie. It looks visually beautiful but bland at the same time.
Exactly, there are definitely moments that shine, it’s not complete garbage. But unlike the trilogy that came before this just felt so uninspired to me.
I've got Anora in 2nd place for Best Picture after Sing Sing. I'm thinking Mikey Madison can win Best Lead Actress. We'll see if Noemie Merlant, Saoirse Ronan, Angelina Jolie, Zoe Saldana, Zendaya, or Lady Gaga can compete.
I think the exact same thing, I would like Zendaya to strongly be in the conversation but as of right now Mikey Madison is a clear front runner and I don’t have a lot of confidence in some of the potential contenders in that category right now to overtake the buzz she has received, that could of course change as these movies release but we will have to wait and see. While I really want Dune to win Best Picture a lot and do have it as my current frontrunner I have a feeling they’re going to give it to a more indie film this year which could be Anora. Sing sing is also in the mix for sure and Domingo potentially winning best actor does help its case.
@@kaneeddy I think Sing Sing will win BP. DUNE II came out too early this year to keep up Oscar hype I'm guessing. I hope Zendaya can get nominated for Challengers still though.
Would’ve been nice to see a older Cornelius since he was a kid in the 3rd
Now that would have been pretty interesting.
5 more movies? I can’t do that w the whole old crew gone
