Probably one of the most boring movies Costner has ever done. I have tried to watch this movies at least 4 times, and everytime I have fallen asleep. I can't sit through a movie where over half the movie there's no dialogue.

I don't Kevin Costner, but I thought I'd give this a try and well I still haven't quite recovered.. It's a boring movie let me tell ya.
I mean all Costner movies are but I thought this might just be a little bit decent, boy was I WRONG. And today I still can't get how Costner has won 2 friggin' oscars for what!? for being friggin' kevin bloody Costner, Erhh! an outrage. That's all I have to... read more

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, even though I thought it was pretty neat when I was a kid, to be honest, I don't think it did grow old very well. I mean, it is a really solid epic Western with a really uplifting soundtrack but the damned thing is also so sweet and romantic, I almost feels like a classi... read more

Description: A historical drama about the relationship between a Civil War soldier and a band of Sioux Indians, Kevin Costner's directorial debut was also a surprisingly popular hit, considering its length, period setting, and often somber tone. Some detractors have criticized the film's depiction of the tribes as simplistic; such objections did not dissuade audiences or the Hollywood establishment, however, which awarded the film seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: Kevin Costner Mary McDonnell Graham Greene The cinematography Music score by John Barry It’s one of the best Western films ever. Cons: The there is the whole White Saviour Narrative, and there is also the fact that it’s told from the perspective of Costner’s character. If epically long historical films, is not your thing, then this might be a long slog of a movie. Hollywood doesn’t exactly have a great depiction of Indigenous history or culture, and as such should be ma"

“Along with Edward Scissorhands and Goodfellas, Dances with Wolves is one of my favourites of 1990. It is a wonderful film, and a marvel from beginning to end. I am not a Kevin Costner basher, he has done some work I don't care for, but this and a few others(Field of Dreams for instance) actually does show he has talent. He does do a heartfelt job directing, and his acting isn't too shabby either, in fact he gives a certain decency to Dunbar which I had difficulty not empathising with. He is very well supported by Graheme Greene and Mary McDonell who is especially brilliant. The cinematography and scenery are just magnificent, while John Barry's score is nothing short of amazing. The moving climax gives further emotional weight to an already poignant story, while the script is wholly credib” read more
