Summary: A Shot Of Brilliance For Kevin
Review: This oscar winning film is a heart felt classic. This film is presented with true brilliance. The story is truly touching as we see one man overcome the stereotypes of the time by befriending the Sioux indians. It candidly shows the angst of American settlers in the 1800's. Showing us the way the indians lived, and our own shortcomings in dealing with prejudice this film is an essential. With the clarity of the DTS it fits into any DVD collection.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Deadly Dull
Review: Several years ago, I saw a "Far Side" cartoon depicting three people standing around a punchbowl in an otherwise empty room, with the caption, "The 'Didn't Like Dances With Wolves'" Club. Well, I would have been the fourth. A visually stunning picture, "Dances with Wolves" is one of the most mind-numbingly dull films ever made, due largely to the complete lack of enthusiasm and screen presence of its star and director, Kevin Costner. Costner was terrific in "Silverado," but has been unrelentingly personality-less in subsequent films, and was absolutely the world's worst Robin Hood. At any rate, "Dances with Wolves" may be a feast for the eyes, but it sure is little else.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exceptional
Review: This film is breathtaking. There are so many scenes in it which you can watch over and over again.

The colour and picture quality are probably the best I have ever seen on DVD and the sound is also excellent.

It is a very introspective film and if you aren't one for epic movies then give this a miss. If however you don't mind watching a movie for a really long time you will be rewarded by experiencing a truly classic film.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Dances With Wolves
Review: An, incredible and truly epic film a powerhouse and moving epic.If this epic film dosen't movie you in it's 3 or 4 hours then you should go to film school.In any film school they will tell you that movies like Dances With Wolves only come along rarely one of the best of the milleniuum.It follows the life of Lt. Jhon J. Dunbar who in the Civil War was recognized for bravery in line of fire.This man has so much courage that he refused to have his leg cut off. When his ranking officer tells him he can go to any position he want's to.He leaves and searches for a fort that he's been wanting to go to.When he reaches the fort it is abandoned as it's inhabitants were killed by warring indians.

While Jhon takes care of the fort he ralizes that his neighbors are an indian tribe known as the sioux , the tribe mistrusting him and angry that he has decided to visit there land.He befriends them and even goes as far as to meet an very beautiful wolf and woman along the way.He befriends the tribe and marrys the indian american woman, who has a past.But Jhon must reveal to his new friends that the union soliders are coming.

In every scene this movie grips you and for Kevin Costner this movie is his crown jewel.None of his movies even got close to this one with incredible cinimatography and powerful sweeping music makes this movie as timeless as Ben Hur.Costner tried to follow it by The Postman but didn't even get as close as this movie did remarkable film.

Summary: Great Movie - 237 Minute Version is FAR Superior.
Review: No movie before or since has gotten to me the way "Dances With Wolves" has (it would have been even better if some guy in the theater hadn't blurted out the climax: "Hey, this is the part where..." UGH!). Though not without its flaws (the idea of a white cavalry officer deserting to join a Sioux Indian tribe--and then actually succeeding--is a bit of a stretch in the historical context) the movie is so good that you don't care! This is what movie magic is all about, the suspension of disbelief, and Costner is a master here. The photography is breathtaking, the acting outstanding, and the musical score...well, I think it speaks for itself (BRILLIANT!).

A truly remarkable picture, and when one considers this as Costner's directorial debut...WOW! Is it any wonder everything he has made since, regardless of its quality, has seemed anti-climactic? If you love epic tales that don't put you to sleep, this is the one. Also, if you haven't seen the Expanded Edition at 237 minutes you are truly missing out. I hope it is released on DVD soon.

If this movie doesn't bring a tear to your eye then you need your heart examined! Five stars.

Summary: Connecting with Something Special
Review: I lived the life of John Dunbar for many years when I moved from California to an Indian reservation in the Southwest. I learned the beauty of the Native American people and their land over those years. Every time I watch this movie my connection with both land and people is rekindled. This is a special movie, one that treats the Sioux and what is now our shameful history with great dignity, insight, and respect. Perfect audio and video transfer to DVD. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bravo Dances With Wolves
Review: Dances With Wolves is my altime favorite movie. I cannot tell you how many times I saw this movie. All the actors were terrific. I felt like I was with them in their camps and on the battle fields.

I am in search of the Director's Version. Several years ago, an Indianapolis, Indiana television station showed the Director's Cut version of Dances With Wolves. It filled in the blank spaces that left me wondering wat happened. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this version of Dances With Wolves?

Rating: 5 stars
