Reviews are coming in for Kevin Costner’s latest film Horizon: An American Saga, and the one thing critics seem to agree on is that it is an incredibly long western that focuses mostly on a lone tumbleweed blowing around America during its formative years.
“I like a good old-fashioned Western, but this wasn’t my cup of tea at all,” said local theatergoer Jack McGeorge, after viewing the film on opening night. “Don’t get me wrong, the cinematography and soundtrack were gorgeous, but I expected more to happen over three and a half hours. I thought the tumbleweed was going to blow into a town and we’d meet some people or something, but I hear that’s not until Horizon part two or three.”
Others defended Costner’s return to traditional Western filmmaking.
“I’m not a fan of a lot of that shit you see in movies these days,” said William Olsen, who greatly enjoyed the lengthy film. “The CGI and green screen and special effects and actors and dialogue and plot, it’s all been done to death. I don’t mind watching a tumbleweed blow around for a few hours, it honestly sounds better than the last few Marvel movies I saw.”
As of press time, Costner had revealed that the director’s cut of Horizon would restore over 40 minutes of deleted tumbleweed scenes.
Sorry, Kevis Costner will never be John Wayne and I doubt ther will ever be any more John Ford’s making movies again
HOW TRUE…..YOUR STATEMENT IS……. I HAVEN’T WATCHED THE MOVIE YET…….BUT – DON’T HAVE TO …TO CONFIRM YOUR VIEW POINT…… FUNNY THAT POOR OLE JOHN WAYNE NEVER WON ANY OSCARS, BUT HE WAS A TRUE WESTERN HERO…..FOR SURE. !! HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN OSCAR FOR JUST HAVING TO WEAR A ONE EYE PATCH IN “TRUE GRIT”…… DON’T YOU THINK..???
Movies only get green lit these days if the stars put in a good word for Joe. Costner and Michael Keaton are prime examples.
No one today can stan 3.5 hour movies. Also alot of fans are pissed on his dumping Yellowstone, even season 5 was a abomination. Today’s Gen x do not watch Westerns, that was the John Wayne age! Though seniors may like it, with several bathroom breaks!
