I would 100% go watch Dances with Wolves. Does it age well? I think so. 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". He was honored by the Lakota nation as an honorary Sioux by the actual native tribe. It’s a 100% must watch film. Promise.
I don’t think it has anything to do with Costner, or western genre. It’s probably more that money’s tight. And people are fed up with Hollywood bullshit.
Inside Out 2 has just made over $1 BILLION in the last 2 weeks and is still climbing. While Horizon just dropped another spot to #5 behind a movie called "The Story of Possum Trot"( No Joke, that's really a movie) So on July 4th TWICE as many people Chose to buys tix to see 'Possum'($3.6 mil) over Costner's Western ($1.8M) .
@@daveclark8337 good thing inside out is making that money to payoff its losses for Echo& The Acolyte. 1 single episode of the acolyte cost more than Dances with Wolves entire movie production. Quality is light years difference.
I just saw the movie. I don't think we saw the same movie. You say you've been rooting for Kevin Costner to return to film making but you've never seen Dances with Wolves. I don't think you were rooting for him at all. You're lying to yourself.
@@lakotabodine8196 oh noooo not the evil “wokeness” 😞😞😞 let’s go back to a time of ignorance where we can be proud of our stupidity again without being laughed at!
He’s never watched Dances with Wolves. Dances with Wolves was made for 22 million and 3 million of his own money again back in 1990 and the money and reception is history. 22 million, 1 episode of the acolyte cost almost double.
@@daveclark8337 Hollywood has something against him. All the crap Disney said about fans review bombing the acolyte well the critics reviewed bombed Horizon over politics not the movie. Hollywood is a joke. Again acolyte is over 200 million. More than house of dragon S2 by a lot and it got near 90% critic. It’s all a joke. As far as his acting goes he is not a good actor. But he is way better director than many in the industry. It’s not close
@@MichaelPK03 The critics didn't like The Beekeeper, Kingdom Planet of the Apes , Garfield, Bad Boys 4, Madame Web, IF, Ghostbusters Frozen, etc etc but they still all Made at least $100 million at the box office this year. Stop with the Excuses! It's The Postman all over again . The real embarrassment hits when Chapter 2 opens next month and flops even harder at the box office.
@@daveclark8337 how much did all those movies cost to make? The only good movie to come out so far is Dune 2. Madem Webb is as bad of a disaster as the Acolyte. They lost money on Madem Webb. They are making up there losses on these crap movies your bringing up with inside out 2. Theatre doing has dropped. We just have to be realistic there however streaming numbers haven’t unless the show sucks.
VERY Disappointing! - A movie plot is the central storyline that guides an audience through the film’s events and character developments. The sequence of actions, conflicts, and resolutions creates the narrative structure and propels the story forward, ultimately delivering a cohesive and engaging cinematic experience. This film experience highly lacked engaging relatability and realty. THE GOOD: The best plots, in any movie, are driven by characters making tough decisions to achieve a goal, all while overcoming obstacle after obstacle to get there.- There were 3 different plots and some sub-plots yet each plot was limited on storyline and just thrust on the audience, without build up. The boy and his struggle with his parents killed by indians was good and believable, other outstanding moments were, Luke Wilson played a wagon train forman, was believable and relatable. The scenery of Utah and Wyoming were nice and some of the indian character performances were deep and relatable- THE BAD: It was SO staged, every time there is someone talking to another person there are 6 to 14 people just standing behind them in chorus rows just SILENTLY STANDING, waiting extras. HELLO?!! Kevin, this is the wild west, people were busy from sun up to sun down WORKING - not standing around like cardboard cut outs.-BASICALLY EVERY SCENE - except the indian attacks - was not believable. Also, the scene where the girl had to identify her dead parents from the indian attack and walks along the wagon with every dead body, boots sticking out - having BRAND NEW STUDIO boots on was ridiculous!! - Kevin, audience can SEE this, so fire the costume designer, or update them in the dailies, most people in REALITY were poor in the Wild West, and did not have brand new clothes FROM THE STUDIO!! There are 3 different plots that dont intermingle, OK, but the character development and motivation was not developed so, the empathetic relation between audience and character was lacking, making you not care for anyone or their resolutions. THE UGLY: Anyway, its just another netflix serious - NOT a Major Motion Western, like "True Grit" , but Danny Huston, must have kissed Kevins ass, when they were together on Yellowstone, because he cant act in this. Sorry folks, I wanted a good Western too but I give it a boring C+ and I watched it 3x to make sure!
Some constructive criticism: Work on your narration. “There have been arguments back and forth on whether the film has aged well” should be: “There have been arguments back and forth *about* whether the film has aged well.” “Costner’s directorial career has been proven to be with some ups and downs” should be: “Costner’s directorial career has *had* some ups and downs.” “Costner himself has gone through failure in the film industry a few years times in a row” should be: “Costner has experienced failure in the film industry a few times.” I may seem strict, but errors like the above undercut your authority. I stopped listening.
the zoomer attention span cannot handle a slow buildup towards a grand payoff. Also, indians were quite hostile. It is not so much a trope as it is a fact of history.

Great review brother
Dances with wolves is one of my favorite westerns. I would recommend it to anyone.
Horizon is excellent.

@@daveclark8337 it’s a children’s movie. They will always perform in the summer if they do well.

Tell me you wanted Costner to paint the history of the west in today's light without telling me you wanted Costner to paint history in today's light.
It´s all about people kicking people in the chest. The problem is the hat. Nobody likes that hat!
Weird review.
it's Joever
It's Costner-over.
I liked it. Actual story that makes me want more with no woke nonsesnse.

@@silverscreenwandererthis reviewer asks if he could make an epic. There is nothing more epic than dances with wolves.
This movie is a masterpiece, return to see garbage like marvel and star Wars Disney you dum dum

@@MichaelPK03 But that was 35 years ago. Costner is now 70 and there is a REASON he has not been the Lead actor in a Big movie for the last 25 years.

Horizon part 1 is Brilliant. Go se it for yourself. Don't listen to anyone who tells you negative things about it. Movie making on an Epic Scale.
