As a kid I'd leave the room when my dad started watching his old westerns, just couldn't understand it. Clint Eastwood changed that for me when I got older, he single handily made me love the genre. Kevin Costner is doing the same for this generation and this film is no different. I understand the complaints about the length or "disjointed" feeling but I'm going to be blunt; that's a result of today's society. Everyone wants their hand held and they want quick satisfaction. This is a telling of American expansion, seen through different experiences and with epic scenery. This isn't a story cooked in a microwave, ready and served in 2 minutes. The movie is a slow grilled brisket, smoked and seasoned just right and when it's finally ready it'll melt in your mouth. I could see this being a very successful Netflix 10 part series but think the best experience of this film(s) is on the big screen. My one negative criticism of Chapter 1 was showing scenes from Chapter 2 at the end. I felt like there were way too many spoilers and things I didn't want to know, I wanted to experience them for the first time when that Chapter is released. Thank you Kevin Costner, cast and most definitely the crew for bringing this to the screen!
