Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Kevin Costner's 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and careful, the love story between Costner and Mary McDonnell's character is captivating. Only the third-act portrait of white intruders as morons feels overbearing, but even that leads to a terribly moving conclusion. Costner's direction is assured, the balance of action and intimacy is perfect--what more could anyone want outside of an unqualified masterpiece? --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - one hell of an epicthis movie drags after the first act. the movie feels like its 4 or five hours long. so its amazing to me that they recut the movie to make it longer. many people have commented that this movie is PC becasue the white men are bad guys and the native americans are noble savages. I completely disagree. Instead, I see it as the Indians are in trouble and cant find buffalo or fight off the neighbor tribes until the magic white man comes in and shows them how its done. so ...

What I want to say is this Extended Cut might be long (236 min.), but it takes you in and seems no time and it is over. I have seen both versions and found this one fills in all the blanks. With Enhanced WIDESCREEN, 5.1 Surround Sound and a hi-def TV who needs to go to the theater? If you like this movie, you ... Read More Rating: - My Favorite Movie - EverThe first time I saw this movie, I was stunned. I had not seen any previews and so had no expectations. I was so moved by watching it, as were my companions, that we all sat and watched the complete credits roll by before we could get up to leave the theatre. For the first time in my life, I saw a tribe of our Native American population, portrayed as compassionate and caring. This type of information had never been taught in public school or college! My friends and I stood ... Read More Rating: - Dancing with Wolves ExtendedIt explains the full story of the film. The missing parts of the original film at the pictures.The behind the camera story too.It was a great DVD. Rating:  - Western FanHere's another Kevin Costner message movie and this is a good one. In telling the story of the plains Indians he does a fine job. The narration comes to me as a bit whimpy at times and there are scenes, in the long movie, that could have been edited. The story, again, is a good one and the sound-track is superb! Browse for similar items by category:
