Review of Dances with Wolves (1990) by Lucas Z — 02 Jul 2011
It was destined to fail, yet it was a huge hit, and swept the Oscars, with people disgruntled Costner won over Goodfellas. As great as both films were, the mass appeal and the emotional heart was in Dances With Wolves.
Costner's ego got completely overblown after this movie, but this was his Citizen Kane, pouring every resource in and creating something that was grander than anyone had ever seen and also breaking mainstream conventions.
Is it a 5-star movie? Yes. And with it's length or 3 hours or 4 hours(extended)? Never bores if you are in the right mindset. (As in, don't watch it for High School history class. You will sleep.
).
