Cimino spent an hour on the prelude which was mostly wedding footage and then raced through important sections of storyline because so much time was spent just looking at things…Then when it comes time to find out what happened to John Savage they just show him suddenly missing limbs!
The plot is really just an outline, nothing in the story is well conceived or particularly well planned out. The entire thing seems to be an excuse for Michael Cimino to be a cinematographer but get called a director.
I gave it 3/10 and I was mad when I finished watching it.
