 You can fool most of the people most of the time August 20, 2008

Amazing how many people really liked this very poor excuse for a movie. But then again, we love to create gridlock to watch a grisly traffic accident on the Interstate, hoping to see blood and gore which is not our own. Dances With Wolves can be commended for one thing and one thing only: the people who produced, directed, and acted in this movie knew how to pander to the lowest common denominator. I have teenage children and I wouldn't want them to watch this movie; their time would be much better spent with The Simpsons or Family Guy.
 Excellent - better than the original August 6, 2008
Excellent DVD that fills in gaps left by the original movie. Why was the fort abandoned? Where did everyone go? Why was Stands With Fist mourning? A long movie, but well worth it.
Get over it White Man... I did. August 1, 2008
Powerful, cinematic storytelling...
This classic work was a labor of love in the making; and it shows from top to bottom; from screenplay to direction. Historically, it paints Native Americans in a very humanistic manner, including having a healthy dose of humor, which I can attest to from many personal acquaintances.
I originally saw this in 70mm, and would plop down a hundred bills to see it again in that format; one of my all-time fav movie experiences. The DVD version holds up well, and there is always something new to catch with each successive viewing.
It's funny to read negative reviews which are obviously grounded in either racism or ignorance of true American History, or both. Do the math, read some real history, and you'll find that this era was not exactly the highpoint of Anglo-Saxon compassion. I don't see this as being biased at all; there were some good whites who interacted with NAs; but they were a gross minority. If you're white, as I am, get over it already.
All in all, a superior film about a superior culture.
The best indian-movie yet... July 21, 2008
This is the best indian-movie yet period. And with that standard of movie-making you might wonder what could be if somebody someday made a movie about General Custer's defeat and the circumstances around it. It is very well-documented in several books and so on, so it would be a natural thing to make an epic movie about it and show the world the day the indians beat the white man.
 Wasn't the original long enough? June 17, 2008

Sorry, I know this movie has fans, but I'm not one of them.
Long, boring, unmemorable.
Yeah, yeah, it won awards. So have a lot of other movies that shouldn't have.
Ok, acting.
Long boring script.
Costner nude.......ewwwwwwwww!!!!
It could have had more action, but it was more of a time period film.
Either your interested in this time period or not will determine whether or not you like the movie.
Pass.
