Roland K Just like most movies rated poorly by “professional” critics, I found that they haven’t got a clue about the quality of movies as seen through the lens of the regular viewers eye. I watched this movie when it first came out and thoroughly enjoyed the story and cinematography and whenever I find it on tv or on a streaming service, I try to make time to watch it. To me, Cruise is an over rated human being, but a fine actor and although his Irish accent isn’t the finest, who really cares. To me, this movie is always enjoyable and the story is great, be damned with what the critics say. When they rate poorly the movie is almost always great. When they rate well, I find it’s usually a flop. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Jairus R One of my favorite movies for its portrayal of immigration, pioneers, the American dream, romance. It is beautiful and poignant. Don’t know why it isn’t rated better. Cruise and Kidman did a great job. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Shaun R Not sure what the bad critics and reviews are all about. This is a great movie, one of the underrated films of the 90s. It’s fast paced, funny, non pretentious, good action and a great storyline. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Jennifer H Just saw this again for the 5th time and it is still a great movie. It is really difficult to find movies like this anymore. There is far too much fowl language and nudity that takes away from truly enjoying it. So kudos to Ron Howard, and the long forgotten real life couple at the time Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Audience Member I don’t understand why this movie didn’t perform well with critics. It’s an epic without a dull moment. Great acting. The ending is a bit hokey, but it ties into the beginning of the film and is intended to convey a bit of whimsy. You can decide for yourself whether it was successful.
