At three hours this movie is a little long in the tooth, but it's a film that keeps your attention The big flaw leveled against this seems…

Very enjoyable film and story. Although very long I did not lose interest and it kept me entertained from start to end…

One of my favorite all time movies. Thinking of it today, the day Tom Petty died…

Conceited pretentious crap which takes itself far too seriously. Even more so than Costners other crap movie 'Waterworld…

I know it's rated poorly, but I love this movie…

I love this movie. It is an authentic look at the pitfalls and failings of society and examines the things that make it all worth fighting for…

Doesn't quite have that campy charm that Waterworld had…

I watched it and I liked it. I watch movies to be entertained and this one made its job…

I'm not sure why this film has the bad reputation it does. Sure, it's not the best film ever made, but it's far from being the worst…

I love this hated film, as well. Its fantastic. Its not an action movie. Its a very good story, adapted from the book. Kevin Costner is great…
