One of the rare movies that satisfies in almost every way. The story is very rich and well told. Superb scenery and cinematography. Outstanding music. Excellent acting is entirely believable throughout. Every character felt authentic. The story was poignant and complete. I was entirely engaged from beginning to end. I wish more movies were made as well. Costner and McDonnell were excellent. Proof that a good movie begins with a solid story and an inspired script.

Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna give this my top score, because this is immersive, transporting filmmaking at its best - full of rich characters, breathtaking cinematography, thrilling action (buffalo hunt!), and deep emotion. I appreciated that the Sioux, rather than being painted as perfect Noble Savages(tm), are instead shown as normal people with their own individual strengths and weaknesses. Has one of the most moving final scenes ever. Bravo.

It seems that with this film you either love it or hate it. I loved it. Costner's direction shows the sheer brutality and amazing beauty of the old West with some breathtaking landscape cinematography. I particularly enjoyed how dynamically the Sioux people were portrayed as they didn't meet the Hollywood stereotype of being bloodthirsty savages or perfectly peaceful, noble and wise. It's an excellent western and certainly in my mind one of the best epics ever made.

"Hi. My name is Kevin "Vanity Project" Costner. Most of my movies feature both my lovely face, and my beautiful arse. This movie is probably among my best, although since all it has to compare to is "Waterworld" and "The Postman", I don't think there's much competition. While I directed and produced this film, I still don't feel there's enough of me in it. See the director's cut for three hours of commentary about me, and my awesomeness."

Overall it's a decent story but the soldier going native scenario is really nothing original. Also, if you take a look at the portrayal a little closer it starts to unravel because at its heart it's fairly shallow and even slightly offensive in its implications. Apparently native Americans can't find spiritual deliverance without a white man involved. The obligatory romance with a white woman who just happens to be living with the native americans is ridiculous too.

An altogether remarkable drama and love story, that, to virtually everyone's surprise, was both a huge commercial success while simultaneously achieving overwhelming critical acclaim. Pictorially stunning, if overly long. Costner makes one of the most remarkable directorial debuts in many years. McDonnell is wonderful. A truly thrilling buffalo stampede is among the most memorable movie images in many years. Try to see this stunner in a movie theater, *not* on a tiny TV screen.

Solid film. A nice pace is maintained throughout, and relationships develop in a convincing way. The beginning didn't really make sense to me though. And Costner's narration was not the best, but still there are many things to like about this simple but well executed piece. One of a handful of movies longer than 2.5 hours where a runtime longer than 2.5 hours is actually warranted.

You have to overlook Costner's wooden acting and narration, and the simplistic and contrived storytelling, and Mary McDonnell's awful performance, and the fact that Costner's character is practically Christ-like (bullets don't hit him!). But besides all that, it's pretty easy to get swept up in the film's rhythms, even for four hours. The cinematography and score aren't bad at all, although they're not great either. I figured this would be offensively bad, but I really didn't mind it that much.

Perhaps the last great, traditional epic film. Costner directs the film treading in familiar territory yet the plot is a welcome change from classic biblical, ancient civilization or cowboy epics. It is solemn and heartfelt and unlike most modern post-Gladiator epics perfectly balances substance and spectacle. Not recommended for Costner haters or people with ADD (who are hard to come by in this day and age).

"Dances with Wolves" is a corny, bloated and disarmingly likable epic that boosts several sweeping, kinetic sequences and moving moments as well. Costner turns in an almost appallingly earnest performance to go along with his remarkable directorial accomplishments. Although it never quite overcomes its devotion to cliché (and the final hour is annoyingly hokey), it grows on you thanks to Costner's skill as a director, gorgeous cinematography and surprisingly light-hearted approach.

Often incorrectly referred to as a white savior story & criticized for winning Best Picture over Goodfellas, this is actually a really strong film. It's cinematography and scope are love letters to old Westerns from masters like John Ford. Costner's acting and narration are really just OK, but the story and human portrayal of the Sioux (with tasteful and inclusive casting that bucks Hollywood stereotypes) is where the movie shines. Goodfellas is still better though.

A simply-told tale of a man gradually realising the barbarity of his civilisation. Not the tale of a white saviour (no one is saved), but it is notable that Costner places himself in every scene. He clearly desired to be an old-style Hollywood showman, and despite (or because) of the success of this debut, he was subsequently shunned by both critics and audiences, as though the sincerity of his wish to present heroic spectacles had become an unpalatable affront to their own decadent cynicism.

It's long as hell but doesn't feel like it so that's a good thing. No way should this have won best picture over Goodfellas, one of the academy's biggest tragedies. The voiceover is pretty bad (just a lazy way for the writer to explain what's going on) and it's not always the most interesting or engaging thing but it has beautiful cinematography, good acting and a decent story so its watchable. Not a must see and a bit overrated but it was decent.

4 hr version: Mammoth western epic is largely a triumph for Costner as 'big-picture' director and producer, with his own solid and charismatic leading turn acting as the perfect ballast for this humanistic and oftimes powerfully moving saga. Fine support from Greene and McDonnell combine with the almost sci-fi premise of a white frontiersman engaging positively with an Indian tribe; sags a little in the final stretch, becoming too overstated when the white tribe re-enter the picture.

[Director's Cut] I thought it started great, but slowly grew less engaging. There was a ton of potential to make a great film, such as the cinematography, the score (although the triumphant theme was overused), and the somewhat archetypal story of the hero. There was always something along the way that threw me off though, such as McDonnell's awful acting, Costner's self indulgence and the narration, but all in all it just felt like Costner was trying too hard to make an epic.

Dances With Wolves is an epic that is surprisingly well done considering it's Kevin Costner who made it. The landscape scenes are breathtaking as well as the cool costume design. Overall, though, it's just another period piece that doesn't really do a lot to seperate itself from the rest.

Costner's best work of his career - by a long shot. The landscapes and visions are beautiful and the story doesn't drag despite its length. It's too bad that Costner simply can't play anything but the simple, soft spoken, monotonous everyman. Thankfully for him, it works perfectly in this movie.

On its own, this movie would be a solid 75-80, beautiful landscape shots, a gripping tale about belonging, what makes life worthwhile and the questionable developments in human history. But then costner got barry on board and...well...the result is the most beautiful music to express everything that encompasses life all at once. Whoever truly listens to these themes and isn't disarmed by both the tragedy and beauty of existence, losing every capacity for hate, is a lost case in my book.

Costner's first directorial effort is without a doubt one of those big, elaborate epics, although a quiet, highly introspective one. Extremely well crafted, there's not a false note, but some segments are much better than others. The theatrical version works just fine, although the extended adds many wonderful moments and a few heavy-handed ones and at four hours, it is a bit of overkill. Still, this is not to be missed, eloquent and sincere. Sadly, Costner would never achieve this level again.

A very well made epic from someone I shudder to give any praise to. However, for all his faults, Costner really gave a pretty adapt product here. While its gorgeous, sweeping, and grand, Dances with Wolves doesn't really do anything that hasn't been done before. Besides the atrocious narration, there isn't really anything BAD that can said about the film, but it just doesn't impress beyond "a solid epic."

I am not into westerns, but I love this beautiful film about the Sioux and the unspoiled plains and the bison, evoked by the sweeping score by John Barry, who unbeknownst to you has written many of your fave film scores including most of James Bond movies. Kevin Costner here underplays as a psychically wounded Civil War soldier and lets himself react to his environment. Mary McDonnell well plays an orphaned young white woman raised by the Sioux as one of their own.

Kevin Costner is about as dry as they come as an actor, so with him both starring and directing this film, it comes out pretty damn dry. However, that doesn't stop it from being good. It's almost 4 hours long, which might put some people off. I personally thought the length and slow pace were totally appropriate. We, the audience, got to truly explore and savour each aspect or experience, just as Costner's character did. I really enjoyed the scenery. It's far from perfect, but I enjoyed it.

What this film is trying to do, it does very well. I don't necessarily like what it is trying to do, but I'd be lying if I said that after three hours of this I was not wrapped up in the story and close to showing my True Emotions (c). It really doesn't feel four fucking hours long, which is more than can be said about similar fare like Out of Africa (which is only 160 min). But while he does a pretty good job behind the camera, Costner is rather bad in front of it (also when talking over it).

Dances with Wolves is ambitious and made with the best of intentions, but wasn't for me. I didn't enjoy myself watching it, because it's far too long and I had trouble caring about what was going on. But there's a lot of good parts to it, like the portrayal of the Sioux tribe and the breathtaking landscape. But if you've never seen it, check out the shorter, (although 3 hours is still a long time), version, and only if you enjoy that should you watch the longer cut.

I think Costner could be a very talented diretor. The cinematography is excellent, and the pacing does not seem like you are watching an extraordinarily long film. Costner's acting however hurts the film. It comes off as monotone and lazy. His everyman charm works for some of his roles, but this was not one of them. All in all though it is an entertaining piece.

"Dances With Wolves" is a rather obvious film as far as its premise is concerned and does drag in points, but it is very well made - there's no mistaking the effort made. Its three hours don't seem completely justified and the themes are way too familiar, but it's a worthwhile one.

It is a beautiful film that show respect for the culture of ancient American tribes. Just can not be even better because of the unjustifiable long duration.

Costner's "masterpiece", but who doesn't have to moan a bit about the fact he had to fall for the only white girl around.....

I guess it's not worth saying that Costner winning over Scorsese for Goodfellas is arguably the worst travesty in Academy history (oops, I said it anyway). The movie's not bad, I guess. Maybe even above average. But I still can't get past that factoid.

The kind of solid filmmaking with a clear message that you'd expect from an Oscar winner. It never really felt spectacular, occasionally even underdeveloped for a film that runs over three hours, but it kept me interested all the way through with a well shot and solidly structured story.

[Director's Cut] Extremely long epic western. I was surprised that it didn't drag. Pacing in later Costner films is terrible, but this one doesn't suffer from that. I like theme of man's connection with nature in films, and it was nicely done here. I felt like reading some Jack London's novel at the times. Story is predictable, and a bit manipulative emotionally, but the film isn't bad.

It seems uncool to admit these days, but I gotta say I really liked it. I mean, hell, it kept me intent and interested for four goddamn hours, which it couldn't have if it wasn't really good. I'm an enormous sucker for epics, what can I say? It's a little convenient that there was a white girlfriend for Costner to fall for rather than a Native woman and there's still no way this film should have won over Goodfellas in 1990, but it's still pretty great.

A lush and rich western. Featuring a thrilling buffalo hunt. I recommend the extended version.

I liked a lot of it but you can't ignore the obvious techniques at manipulation. That and the cringe-worthy voice over was what kept me from loving it. It's still very entertaining and for a 3 hour movie it does''t drag at all.

Wow. From rememberance I had this rated 90. It was like walking through a dessert, that's what it was. A very beautiful one, yes. Very. But still, you're not sure you brought enough water or food to make it to the other side. ... On the serious side, I think the acting's good. (And no, I never thought I'd say this about Kevin, who is best remembered from Tin Cup, what a glorious film). All in all: apart from WIND IS IN HIS HAIR (epic name), not much was groovey.
