George M Overrated, overlong and over use of images of the Great Plains. Costner doesn't deliver a good performance in this, and is outshined by the rest of the cast. How many sweeping images of the Plains does one need? I'm sure the audience got it quickly, the plains are vast and white man screwed it up. Could have used some serious editing. This is why Horizon stunk. it has less of a story and is way overlong as well.

Extraordinary cinematography. Just love the whole ambience of the movie. The mix of peace and turmoil adds dimension. On my list as one of the greats, lost count of how many times I saw it and each time is just superb. Absolute must see Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review RM R I first watched "Dances with Wolves" at the movie theater when it came out in 1990. I was 11 years old at the time. I loved the movie then, and 30+ years later love it even more. The cinematography is breathtaking. I grew up I the West, and this captures the spirit, the grit and humanity of an aspect of the challenges and potential of encounters with cultures that is rarely depicted in Westerns. I still believe Kevin Costner did a phenomenal job as director and actor in the film, and the the supporting actors were amazing, even the children in the film were incredibly talented. I thought the overall argument of the story was strong, and it was not expected to have a "happy ending" but a difficult one, considering the inevitable that was to happen. Watch this film again, and do some homework before seeing. It's a work of historical fiction, an adventure and a Western that we still need, even despite the pacing for modern audiences. Plus, it was before CGI and AI, so everything you see was well researched, rehearsed and choreographed really well. I love that that they used Native American Lakota Sioux dialogue to add to the authenticity and challenge of what it would be like for a lone Union officer to make first contact, but make the effort to communicate and learn their language. There is so much to learn and gain from this film that applies to today's audiences. We need more films about building bridges, not building walls and causing division. Dances with Wolves always has a place in my heart as one of my favorite 1990s movies. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Audience Member One of the best movies of all time. I was 7 when this came out, I remember watching it with my father. I just watched it now at age 41 all these years later. A true masterpiece. I cried at the end. A beautiful film that stirs the soul. Many would say one of the best films of all time. A work of art.
