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

Rating:  - My Favorite Movie - Ever
The 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.

Rating:  - Western Fan
Here'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!
Rating: - Such a beautiful dance...
A film that is truly breathtaking, `Dances with Wolves' has a lot to admire. The film is gorgeous to look at; beautifully shot by cinematographer Dean Semler and directed by Kevin Costner. The story told is often engrossing and delicately handled for the most part, always grasping our attention despite the films lengthy running time. The acting is mostly effective and at times it is amazing. The emotional impact the audience is left with is sweeping and easy to get caught up in for the subject is ... Read More
Rating: - Best American History Epic Ever Made
Dances With Wolves, while being an essential guilty pleasure movie of mine also has top ten favorite movie ranking. I've always been attracted to stories that focus on a small cast of characters or just one in particular and in that case it is easier for me to not only get caught up in the story itself but also for the story to become more personal. I think the smaller the cast the less the audience is overwhelmed and the better the performances get. I think the primary reason Dances With Wolves won so ... Read More
