Editorial Review:

Description:
A 'truly spectacular' (The New York Times) film that combines action, romance and breathtaking adventure, Dances With Wolves is 'a cinematic masterpiece' (American Movie Classics) that is nothing short of 'a triumph' (Roger Ebert)!Sent to protect a US outpost on the desolate frontier, Lt. John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) finds himself alone in the vast wilderness. Befriending the very people he's sent to protect the outpost from, the Sioux Indians, Dunbar slowly comes to revere those he once feared. But when the encroaching US Army threatens to overrun the Sioux, he is forced to make a choiceone that will forever change his destiny and that of a proud and defiant nation.

Amazon.com essential video:
Kevin Costner's 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and careful, the love story between Costner and Mary McDonnell's character is captivating. Only the third-act portrait of white intruders as morons feels overbearing, but even that leads to a terribly moving conclusion. Costner's direction is assured, the balance of action and intimacy is perfect--what more could anyone want outside of an unqualified masterpiece? --Tom Keogh

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - one hell of an epic
this movie drags after the first act. the movie feels like its 4 or five hours long. so its amazing to me that they recut the movie to make it longer.

many people have commented that this movie is PC becasue the white men are bad guys and the native americans are noble savages. I completely disagree. Instead, I see it as the Indians are in trouble and cant find buffalo or fight off the neighbor tribes until the magic white man comes in and shows them how its done.

so dont buy this movie if you want to be entertained. or teach history. or show any sort of flattering view of native americans.

this is pulp escapist fantasy - I would catagorize it with early 20th century pulp with a dash of late 20th century.





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A true Hollywood EPIC!
Howdy;

I'm not going to review the movie itself except to say it is one of the best I've seen. Others have done a wonderful job of review.

What I want to say is this Extended Cut might be long (236 min.), but it takes you in and seems no time and it is over. I have seen both versions and found this one fills in all the blanks.

With Enhanced WIDESCREEN, 5.1 Surround Sound and a hi-def TV who needs to go to the theater?

If you like this movie, you might check out "Open Range", another great Costner film.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My Favorite Movie - Ever
The first time I saw this movie, I was stunned.

I had not seen any previews and so had no expectations. I was so moved by watching it, as were my companions, that we all sat and watched the complete credits roll by before we could get up to leave the theatre. For the first time in my life, I saw a tribe of our Native American population, portrayed as compassionate and caring. This type of information had never been taught in public school or college!

My friends and I stood outside the theatre that night, discussing the wonderful epic we had just experienced, for quite a while. As I drove home that evening I remembered that my maternal grandfather had some Native American blood lines and for the first time in my life I wanted to find out more about them. I doubt that I would have started any ancestry research had I not seen DWW.

It has been 18 years and DWW is still my all ... Read More
