A must see...to see how BAD it really is...

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about. "The best movie of the year", "MORE THAN JUST THE BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR, IT"S ONE OF THE GREATEST EPIC'S OF OUR TIME." Maybe the had something in their popcorn that I didn't.
This movie started strong, but (after what felt an eternity) ended terrible. The only redeeming factor was Daniel Day Lewis' performance. He made this movie watchable. He truly deserves an Oscar.
I can only pray the the reason this movie felt so unsettled was due to mandatory editing. Then again, this movie was 3 hours long. You'd think that would be enough time.
With a little more explanation, relationship development, and attention to detail, this movie would have been amazing. Instead, it looks like budget ran out, on a script the size of a bible, that wasn't worth reading in the first place.
