Saw it yesterday. Excellent film and certainly not boring.

Follow Ups:
I dug out the review. He gave it just one star. Title of his rant is Hostiles' is the slowest movie in the west. Written by Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
It worked for me. A substantial film.

I am just the messenger on this one. Your personal experiencing is just as valid. I will see it when it hits disc format.
Unlike the published reviewer, I have an attention span beyond action scenes. Perhaps the guy is somebodies relative who needed a job.
I thought it a solid western tale, with a good story, yet overlooking some details along the way. like a full old fashioned group campsite being carried on two pack horses. Not a perfectly thought out presentation, but the tail doesn't suffer, unless you look.
I looked at the cast and saw enough people who can pick from the best material , with a record of success , to make me curious about a move set against the largest transfer of wealth in our nations history.
A memorable passage from the book "Overland with Buffalo Bill" stuck with me. where he describes how he would sometimes take the time to straighten the darkies out but will shoot an indian on sight, if he had a conflict. This written by a man who toured a wild west show with american natives and made money with them
This movie puts that reality as a backdrop to another western story, I don't think the reviewer who panned the film got that. ,
