Way too much in special effects and a mere mortal could not have endured those beatings. Entertaining, but not a monumental endeavor.

You wish you could suck $400,000,000.00 (four hundred MILLION dollars!) in PROFIT!
Sheesh!
I am not talking GROSSING $400,000,000.00 (four hundred MILLION dollars!) that is how much PROFIT that movie (that you think "sucks"!) has made, SO FAR!
Sheesh!
In my large circle of friends, relatives and acquaintances I have yet to find one person who saw the movie and was not greatly entertained by it.
I know lots of people in fact who have watched the movie several times - including myself.
No the movie is NOT perfect in its depictions and factuality but it stands on its own merits, entertainment value and successes quite easily!
Sheesh.

Agreed. I never could figure out what was so great about this make believe story. There was so much wrong with the film that it was hard for me to even suspend disbelief in order to be entertained.

Pretty good movie. Lots of six shooters will shoot ten times, but I've never seen one in person.

I find it hard to be entertained by a movie that has as much wrong with it as that one.

I watched this movie but could not sit through it all. Different strokes I guess, I just did not get the hype with this movie. A great movie it was not!

Now if someone would only make a historical movie on Canada's past, ......maybe Sir John Franklin's cross country expeditions in the North? Murder, cannabillism?

Early scene, glass and his son shoot a moose in hostile Indian country. They are in the process of dressing it out when the shooting starts, yet Glass had not reloaded his rifle, dressing the moose leaving his gun empty. As he runs towards the action Glass dumps loose powder and spits a ball down the barrel, a mode of loading guaranteed to give atrocious accuracy and used only at point blank range and in the direst emergenc.

Early scene; Glass is sitting down and cleaning his gun when he turns to talk to his son about how folks wont like him because he's an Indian. In that shot you can clearly see Glass's pan brush hanging from the strap of his shooting bag - it is brand-spanking-out-the-wrapper new, never been used.

Then there's their choice of trade guns, Pedersoli makes a fine trade gun replica correct for the period....

http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=2022&osCsid=14pltgvqi7g3kkrl03t01cnhu0

Instead they gave 'em all "Brown Bess Indian trade guns", a bogus reenactorism that isn't found, Pedersoli merely blued their Pattern 1793 Brown Bess Cavalry Carbines and hung a trade gun-style sideplate on 'em.

http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=3474

I've only been able to watch the movie once, avoided it since. While we all know the "burn your open throat wound closed with gunpowder" stunt was totally bogus, I'm trying to recall if DeCaprio actually sprinkled powder from his horn onto an open flame in that same scene eek

and finally, someone explained to me why DeCaprio never gets hypothermia in that movie....

...because he became immune filming Titanic grin

You gotta be $hittin'... do you have a rat running across your keyboard or are you that anxious to get into the high post count? You need to read before you post 40+ times/day.

You obviously want to post more than pay attention to what is going on. It is a $hitty movie and there were no revolvers.

Saw about 45 minutes of it on a flight to Montana last summer. Turned it off and was glad i did not pay to see it.

The not reloading after shooting the elk was almost as bad as Tom Hardy's character thumbing his nose at the Captain whenever he felt like it.

I think discipline was a bit tighter than that...
