Summary: /an epic masterpiece of grand porportion
Review: It's up there with ben hur , doctor zhivago, forrest gump, etc.

the savage beauty of a time in change and unrest. courage and passion holding the ideals this country was built on. It makes us all look like wimps, but somehow it gives strength to our convictions of trust,love, and moral value. we need more moves like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent movie, if you're not a Cooper purist.
Review: I've heard that the film doesn't at all resemble the book, but that doesn't bother me. It's a beautiful, incredibly well done period piece that combines a great love story with some incredible large-scale battle and small-scale fight scenes (it is certianly NOT an action flik, the violence is not gratuitious... more like Braveheart's battle scenes). This movie is also eye-candy, a credit to its cinamatographer, and has some incredibly beautiful locations. And the soundtrack is fantastic! Furthermore, I haven't seen many movies focus on the French and Indian war, so that's refreshing. A must have movie, I'm just waiting for it to be released on DVD!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie if you haven't read the book...
Review: I read the novel after having seen the movie and was dismayed by the number of liberties Michael Mann took to make the story. I loved the movie and the book. My advice to those who have read the book is to suspend whatever you know beforehand, because things happen in the movie which are COMPLETELY different in the book.

That said, I would recommend this movie for the scenery, direction and cinematography. The story overall is good, but different.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite movie of all time!
Review: It was a wonderful movie. Just the way that the actors portraied the events that really happened. They also made you feel that you were there . It gives me a wonderful feeling inside.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. The score is so beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking (I was there in real life and it looks just the way it appears on film). I have seen this movie so many times and I'm never tired of it. The end is one of my most favorite parts. I love this movie!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The title alone remains of the original story
Review: This is one of those modern travesties based on the retelling of a classic tale. The result is as dismal as those failed attempts made at rewriting Dickens, for example, which retellings wind up using only the original names of the participants, or even less only the name of the original work, and forgoing the original story.

For reasons unexplained the main protagonist, and basic character who gives meaning to the story, is completely ignored and the entire story squewed to support the current lead actor, who is seen most often in profile and clothed in a billowing shirt.

It is a senselessly violent turkey.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite movie of all time
Review: I can't even begin to tell anyone the amount of times I have seen this movie. I saw it for a school report, never expecting that this movie would move me so completely. I've seen in no less than 10 times in the theaters, and countless times on video. I've also seen the network television broadcasts, pathetic and edited as they are. Anyway, everything about this movie is excellent. There are so many elements to it. It looks beautiful, the acting is wonderful, I can't even fully describe it. All I can say, is see it for yourself. I doubt that there will ever come a movie that can surpass this, in my opinion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I feel as If I were one the Mohicans
Review: This the most moving movies I have ever seen. The scenery is breathtaking and the way they have portrayed the Mohicans, Mohawk, Huron and Ottawa is so close to the true. Words cannot ever describe the way this movie moves me, it is a part of me. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Absolute Best!!
Review: This is a wonderful movie, and I can't say enough about it.

I first seen this movie when I was in high school. I remember my boyfriend forcing me to see this film. I complained during the whole ride to the theater. But, after the first ten minutes I was hooked like a fish.

The haunting, visual landscapes are breathtaking, Daniel Day-Lewis is wonderful, and the secondary characters are very good. Essentially, this is a story of change. The Last Mohican represents a changing of lives and cultures. Additionally, the story of the French-Indian war is moving.

I cannot list a full synopsis of the movie because there are so many different back stories and themes. There is love, intrigue, deciet, family values, war, and death...and all of it is rolled into one.

Everything about this movie is fantastic and very moving. You need to see it for yourself to see what I am talking about. Or, you can listen to the some of the reviewer's recommendations that say this movie is boring and long.

I won't kid you there is some slow points, but this isn't an all out action flick.

Ultimately, this movie is for people who love real, moving movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: #1 Most historically entertaining film!
Review: Wow. Let's hear it for Michael Mann!

The most beautifully portrayed and directed historical film of 1992, Michael Mann's "The Last of the Mohicans" carries an uneraseable memory in 20th Century Fox's motion picture industry. Even the music score theme throughout the film was appropriate and especially breathtaking at the starting opening title.

LOTM helps us to take a deeper look into the historical struggles of war-torn families in the latter years of the 17th Century, as well as show the emotion that just seems to gush from the widescreen. Not only does it relay war facts of the past, but it shows how it affected all individuals involved.

Based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper, the main star Daniel Day-Lewis plays the adopted son Hawkeye, who was raised by the last of a vanishing people. And the lovely and gorgeous Madeleine Stowe plays as Cora, one of the British general's two daughters, who would later meet Hawkeye and fall in love.

Being trained in combat as an Indian, Hawkeye helps his "father and brother" fight off the many war parties/battles (indians who at the time were allies to the French) that swept New England against the British.

The film LOTM overflows with violent war action, suspense, romance, and obviously the struggle for survival beginning in the year 1757. It was a time when you were on one side or the other, but never neutral ground. If you refused to accept being drafted, you were labeled a coward and you deserved to die. Fight or die was the heartbeat of the age, and you fell under one category or the other.

But as mentioned above, this timeless epic was not just about war, but about life, love, and freedom. It shows us what our ancestors and forefathers fought for that we might enjoy our nation's independence.

*This motion picture was rated R for graphic war violence. Please note this restriction to children under the age of 17, who should be attended by an adult parent or other guardian. Available on VHS and DVD in widescreen format.
