Let me say first that I LOVE adventure movies, even more so if they are based on true stories. And despite its flaws, The Lost City of Z made me want to be a freaking explorer!
But, honestly, I feel like someone gave me a delicious, high-quality steak and then poured ketchup all over it. And if you're thinking, "Ooh, that sounds good", shame on you.
This movie had excellent acting, a great history to work with, action and adventure, and so much more, but it was just fucked by the editing. I can't believe it was released like that. I know this is not a very new movie and probably its been discussed before, but how can the director sit down and watch this cut and think, "Yup, nailed it."?
Ah well, just a little vent. I'm glad I watched the movie, but I really think it could've been GREAT instead of just fine.
