Reviews when? I guess it's supposed to be a lot more audience friendly and a lot less divisive than Francis' passion project?

My parents are very excited about this movie. I think this will be a crowd pleaser. I am hoping both installments can do over $100M each domestic.

This looks so good!

It will bring back folks to the cinemas that have not been there for a long time.

Damn, I expected positive reviews for this. Those passion projects can't catch a break.

[Maggie]

yeah, mixed reviews. Too bad. I thought it looked stunning

What’s most perplexing coming from Costner is the uncomfortably long time the film takes to show sensitivity toward its Indigenous characters. We’re well into Horizon before the perspective on Native resistance is broadened to acknowledge that their murderous attacks on new settlements are a direct response to the occupation of their ancestral lands. It’s very confusing to see a Western in 2024 and find yourself thinking, “Wait, so American Indians are the bad guys again?”

ehm...

The blustery notes of John Debney’s score over the opening title card announce that we’re about to watch A Work of Great Importance. 

jeez, just chill, mr. critic

Three more installments?

[Parasite]

Really disliked this. It's overlong, messy and nothing happens (just uninteresting dialogue between random characters) so it just feels like a 3-hours long trailer for the sequel. It's also shot like a TV film and the acting is...uneven. 

 

I guess there also might be some controversy over the depiction of indigenous people and women.

Making a movie just for it be a set up for the sequel rarely ends well

The Saudi will need to fund Part 3 and 4 in full this time around, nobody is gonna plunge money into this like with Parts 1 and 2.

Woah.

 

I didn’t know this was another “independent” movie…
