There was very little dancing and only one wolf. But seriously, this is great. A little long and slow, I watched the extended cut. Kevin Costner and Graham Greene are both good. Still a little upset this beat Goodfellas for best picture.

Loved it. Beautiful shots of the American prairie and its animals. The story is slow at times, but there are so many great scenes that it's worth it. The story is done many times (pocahontas and avatar come to mind), but this is an excellent effort, where I genuinely hated the army guys and got really intrigued by the Indian way of life. Of course there should've been more nuances (not every Indian should be a good guy, not every American should be violence-obsessed), and the movie should've been shorter, but overall it's a great movie, with many many great shots!

I Just Finished This Amazing FILM WOW I wish they would of cut it shorter 3 Hours and 55 Minutes is TOO LONG now I enjoyed The Clever Writing and Theme For This Movie However Wats Scored it a 9/10.. The Films Pacing was just too much to bear.. But this definitely a Masterpiece.. I don't use that Term Loosely.. Probably Kevin Costner Greatest Performance as a Lead WOW

I watched the extended version of this film, and I just have to say, any film that can run for FOUR HOURS and not come out the other end as a boring pile of garbage, is worthy of some pretty serious praise. That said, _Dances with Wolves_ is not really in my wheelhouse, and although it held my atten More

I've seen _Dances with Wolves_ for the first time in cinema before it got all the accolades. I didn't knew much about it and wasn't even aware of the nominations. To put it frank, the main reason I went into it was it had the longest running time of all the movies. The most bang for the More

One of my all-time favorite movies. I can't begin to remember how many times I've seen it. And I'll watch it again. Kevin Costner gives a compelling performance, but so does the entire cast. One gets a great sense of who the Lakota were and are. Respect.

There are two actor of recent years that I really struggle with. One is Tom Hanks, the other is Kevin Costner. His monotonic narrative as he conveys this story via his journal makes this otherwise breathtakingly beautiful story frequently a real plod. He is "Lt. Dunbar" who after a very close shave More
