Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Wildly romantic, daringly exciting, Michael Mann's film of James Fenimore Cooper's novel created a new babe magnet out of Daniel Day-Lewis, he of the heaving pecs and flowing mane. As Hawkeye, he plays an American settler raised by the Mohicans who is forced to serve as a guide for British adventurism in upstate New York. But the British have been outflanked by the French (and their Indian allies); then British honor is betrayed when a band of renegades assaults them during their retreat. Mann captures the viciousness of this era's hand-to-hand combat in startling battle scenes. But he also invests the film with heartfelt romance, as the feelings swell between Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. The ending is a stunner, a long, nearly wordless sequence of battle and loss. Strong performances all around, particularly by Russell Means as Chingachgook and Wes Studi as the evil Magua. --Marshall Fine

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Stays with you
I never watched this when it came out in the early 90's, but had heard about it. It was wonderfully done, Daniel Day-Lewis was mesmerizing, and I was struck at how it did not feel the least bit dated. I did not read the book, so can't compare, but for a movie, this had much "edge of your seat" action, romance (not overdone or oversexual), and beauty. And yes, DDL running through the woods makes for some rewinding and replaying!
Rating: - Very entertaining
I really liked this movie and watch it whenever it's on TV. This movie and a handful of others I never tire of. Daniel Day Lewis is such a good actor(a must see in "The Crucible"). The ambush , youngest sister on the cliff and burn at the stake are very intense scenes. I say watch it!
Rating:  - Soap-opera in pre-revolutionary America
Hollywood-ized adaption of James Fennimore Cooper's classic novel. Great scenery and action but soap opera story and sappy romance give this the feel of one of those 70/80s TV miniseries.
Rating: - THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS
THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL. WONDERFUL SCENERY AND GREAT ACTING.
THE MUSIC IS ENCHANTING TOO. VERY REALISTIC VIEW OF THE PERIOD.
Rating: - A classic
I watch this several times a year. I own most of the movies ever made of "The Last of the Mohicans". I enjoy them all, but this is my favorite (even though I can't get over the production crew member in his red ball cap showing up in a shot when the British are leaving the fort after the surrender to the French). So much for professional editing. This is about the only thing (other than "Their Will Be Blood")that I have liked Daniel Day Lewis in. This is a classic.
