![20 Things You Didn't Know About Open Range [2003]](/img/tr.png)
I saw the movie this evening. I purposefully did little advance research and went not really knowing anything about it other than it’s a Costner passion project. But growing up in Oklahoma and familiar with western history, the genre holds a special place. I really enjoyed it. The cinematography is beautiful. I liked that the story made you think and didn’t spoon feed the viewer or make it too predictable. This was best served by having the pacing move from different storylines like it did. I’ve read tonight (after viewing) where some folks think the movie is chaotic and frenetic in its storytelling, and I think that is somewhat purposeful. That’s what the west was like during that era. Sometimes decisions were made in haste that proved deadly, and this movie does a good job of highlighting this. I’m definitely looking forward to watching the next movie and hope for a full four part run. Thanks for your critique though. Always enjoy hearing others take as well.
Thank you for your insightful comment! I always love to hear takes of others as well. I was born and raised in Texas so I hear you on the western genre holding a special place. I’m jealous you enjoyed it; like I mentioned, I really wanted to. I didn’t mention it but yeah, the cinematography was good! Also, good point on it not being too predictable. There were too many things I didn’t care for personally for me to enjoy it, but I respect your thoughts on it. I will be seeing Chapter 2 and hope I like it a lot more! Feel free to check out my video whenever it comes out and I hope to get your take on that one too! Maybe our tastes will be more in line next time around 🤷🏻♂️
Horizon is one of the best Westerns ever made, no idea how you could give it a 2.5 stars.
First of all, I appreciate you watching and commenting! I went in hoping to feel the same way you did, but there were just too many issues I had with it. It didn’t all suck to me, though; I do think Costner’s Open Range was a lot better (though I’ll grant you it’s a different type of story). My favorite western is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, btw, and I don’t believe any western will ever top it. But I respect your opinion and I still hope I like Chapter 2 more
I saw horizon....i liked the movie. Its an introduction to the upcoming movies. This one is just part 1....it shows the hardships of those times....
Glad you liked it! I wish I did. I’ll see Chapter 2 and I’ll be hoping I like it better
I saw Verizon two days ago. It’s almost as if the reviewer here and I saw different movies. I loved the movie! It was beautifully filmed, the music was amazing, and fit the storyline, the acting was amazing and even though I had heard some of the storylines could be confusing. I didn’t find it confusing at all. I can hardly wait for the second movie to come out and completely hope that all four chapters, and the possible fifth chapter I heard about in a Kevin Costner interview, might actually be made.
Glad you liked it! Like I said, I was rooting for it to be good. I have noticed that most people either loved it or hated it, there’s few people in the middle haha… I too am confused personally whenever I hear people raving about it. Guess it’s just down to different tastes 🤷🏻♂️ Appreciate your comment!
I didn't like it until the day after. Needs subtitles. I think next episode is going to pull it together and it will be epic
I can respect that! Totally agree with the subtitles haha, and I hope you are right about the next one
Movie theaters offer open caption (English subtitles) and I went to see Horizon with open caption.
@@anthonylogiudice9215 True, I believe the theater near me has more limited showings with captions
No matter what, I cant wait to see this movie and the rest of this saga
Yeah give it a try! Seems like most people are not a fan, but there are still quite a few who love it
I tried to respond to @Guywithnonamereviews comment to me, but got the 400 error.
I’m wondering if you all think that a persons age, generation and Or experiences affects our reactions to the movie. To any movie, I guess?
@@jG-iw2gb that’s strange… Honestly, overall I think age in particular affects it quite a bit! I know my taste has changed a bit, but I’ve noticed how my friends vs. my dad’s friends vs. my grandparents and their friends like very different movies. And I have a cousin who has watched so much TikTok she literally can’t sit through a single movie (her words, not mine). But that’s a great question! What are your thoughts?
Edit: forgot to say my view on certain movies has changed since I became a parent. Suddenly, I identify more with the adults/parents of films than ever before, and I am more lenient towards kids’ movies now since I love seeing my daughter enjoy them
As always, I look forward to and enjoy your reviews!
Why thank you, much appreciated!
Darn I was kind of looking forward to seeing this, but now I might just wait for it to come out on streaming or even wait to see how reviews for Chapter 2 are. I don’t want to get invested in it like that if it’s not worth it
Yeah that seems like a smart move! I will be reviewing the second chapter when it comes out so be on the lookout
Its a good movie
@@jjdjj5392 I do encourage people to do what they think is best with their time and money, and yeah people won’t always agree with my takes, but hopefully it’ll be at least a good discussion! If someone wants to take my word for it that a movie is good or bad, that’s fine! If not and they want to find out for themselves, fine by me too!
Personally, I think you should go and then decide for yourself if you liked it or not. I had so many opposite opinions about the movie than this reviewer did. I can recommend it.
@@jG-iw2gb I understand what you mean! I love discussing with others who have seen it, or if they want to take my word for it, that’s their prerogative haha
Watched the movie last night. Enjoyed it but was a little underwhelmed by what I felt was unrealistic makeup on women who are supposed to be traveling, living and working in the middle of nowhere but look like they spent 3 hours on their makeup. There were also some scenes that were unnecessarily drawn out. Much of the filming was done in tight such that the beautiful scenery could be enjoyed. However the multiple characters stories are interesting and you become engrossed with their plot. I noticed a lot of well known actors as well. Overall I give it a 7 out of 10 and will be watching episode 2.
Yeah I agree with some of your points, especially the make up one haha! Glad you liked it more than I did. Yeah hope the sequel is better
I give it a 9
@@jjdjj5392 Fair enough.
Too bad. I was hoping for a good western
Yeah it’s unfortunate. Plus I have liked Kevin Costner’s other westerns that he’s done. I just think it should’ve been approached a bit differently. I believe there’s a good movie deep down inside what we got haha
I saw the movie, I just wasted 3 hours of my life that I can't get back
Yep…unfortunately I feel the same overall :/
Every day your alive your wasting your time pathetic excuse for a human
I was SO looking forward to this. Saw it yesterday and it sucked. A Crappy version of 1883
Yep, very disappointing… :/ Btw, awesome profile picture lol
