I just didn't find the movie funny in almost any way, so calling it a comedy is a real stretch. I did find it interesting enough to watch all the way through but pretty boring in general. Prime had it listed as an action comedy...not hardly.
There were several redeemable moments throughout the flick that made it not actually suck, but given my time back from watching it, I would not choose to watch it. I WILL say it s pretty benign film. Other than ram testis and the hinting at breeding (but no actual scenes of breeding), there was nothing that should offend most...OK maybe there was some language some may not have preferred and some alcohol use, but otherwise a fairly benign film.

I could not wait to watch this move based on the reviews. So many are like, "this is the best movie I have ever seen in my life". I got dinner ready early so we could start this long-arsed movie and stay awake for it. I was so stoked.
Then it began. Right off the bat it began to have so many unfinished and unexplained things, and I mean things that were just left behind, not explained in what admittedly is a full circle story in the end. Then this continued through the entire movie, until the end, which does answer a big question, but in the most ridiculous way.
I'm good at suspending reality for a movie and I dont expect fictional movies to be accurate, but this move could have been easily an hour shorter and would have probably been better. A laborious watch for little return in the end in my opinion. I dont even read books anymore, but this would make for a really good book (if its not already), that way the imagination could take it over...the reality of the flick is generally unimpressive in my opinion. I dont see how the visuals, etc. Are so impressive for so many people. It was reminiscent of 2001, a Space Odyssey. There have been better "space flicks" in my opinion.
I cannot fathom the fawning people have done over this flick. I only gave it 5 stars because of the cast, not because I enjoyed the movie. The two hours and 50 minutes was otherwise not worth it for me.

Hopefully you filtered the reviews view to something other than "featured". It seems a lot of people reviewed this even before the first season ended.
AMC seems to have predominantly "Dark" content, very little interest in 95% of the content on that platform, but this series caught my attention.
I come at films and programs from the perspective of "entertainment", not thinking of myself as a cinema expert knowing how the business works and certainly haven't read ANY of the books...who has that kind of time these days? The unemployed?
For me, this series started out sssaaaalllloooow. I felt like I was paddling a sluggish boat to get through the episodes and my wife slept through most of it. Finally episode 5 had some action to wake us both up. The rest of the series through season 2 then had some action, something other than blah blah blah, dialogue and "woe is me". I get the terrible Native American situation...I already know about it, so tell the story with a bit more energy, please. A History Channel documentary on the Native Americans is more exciting than much of this series...except when there is gun-play and other violence. Not a requirement for me to be entertained except when it's saving a snooze-fest otherwise.
It was worth a watch for free, but I would not have wanted to pay the subscription price just to see it and there isn't much else on AMC to make it worth the money for me/us.
