Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent - better than the original
Comment: Excellent DVD that fills in gaps left by the original movie. Why was the fort abandoned? Where did everyone go? Why was Stands With Fist mourning? A long movie, but well worth it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Get over it White Man... I did.
Comment: Powerful, cinematic storytelling...
This classic work was a labor of love in the making; and it shows from top to bottom; from screenplay to direction. Historically, it paints Native Americans in a very humanistic manner, including having a healthy dose of humor, which I can attest to from many personal acquaintances.
I originally saw this in 70mm, and would plop down a hundred bills to see it again in that format; one of my all-time fav movie experiences. The DVD version holds up well, and there is always something new to catch with each successive viewing.
It's funny to read negative reviews which are obviously grounded in either racism or ignorance of true American History, or both. Do the math, read some real history, and you'll find that this era was not exactly the highpoint of Anglo-Saxon compassion. I don't see this as being biased at all; there were some good whites who interacted with NAs; but they were a gross minority. If you're white, as I am, get over it already.
All in all, a superior film about a superior culture.

Summary: The best indian-movie yet...
Comment: This is the best indian-movie yet period. And with that standard of movie-making you might wonder what could be if somebody someday made a movie about General Custer's defeat and the circumstances around it. It is very well-documented in several books and so on, so it would be a natural thing to make an epic movie about it and show the world the day the indians beat the white man.

Summary: Wasn't the original long enough?
Comment: Sorry, I know this movie has fans, but I'm not one of them.
Long, boring, unmemorable.
Yeah, yeah, it won awards. So have a lot of other movies that shouldn't have.
Ok, acting.
Long boring script.
Costner nude.......ewwwwwwwww!!!!
It could have had more action, but it was more of a time period film.
Either your interested in this time period or not will determine whether or not you like the movie.
Pass.

Summary: One of top 25 best movies of all time and top 10 western
Comment: Just watch it and enjoy. I own and watch at least 3 times a year. I am a student of Native American art and native history and I see something new in this movie every time I watch it. I am 62 years old and have studied native history and art since I was a Cub Scout. I find this movie authentic reproduction in most ways

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.
