The uniforms, combat tactics, clothes, scenery, everything fits perfectly in the time and historical context that the film seeks to portray, and this is extraordinarily pleasing to people like me, who like to see a historically realistic film.

The screenplay is based on an extremely famous novel by James Fenimore Cooper, although it did not faithfully follow the book. This may be good for dramatic effects, but it inevitably leads to choices and decisions that each viewer can judge good or bad. I, in particular, saw nothing that shocked me. Actors' work is very good, particularly Daniel Day Lewis, in the role of Hawkeye, a European who was adopted by a Mohican elder and grew up in Native American culture. We can consider this to be one of the most remarkable works of his career, opening the doors to a series of other projects where the actor would come to shine ("Gangs of New York", "There Will Be Blood" etc.) Madeleine Stowe was equally well in the role of Cora. Finally, a note of praise for the soundtrack of the film, of excellent quality.… Expand

With incredible action sequences, brilliant special effects, and an inarguably brilliant sense of period, the film not only does Cooper's eponymous novel justice, it does right by the viewer as well.… Expand

This film is blessed with great acting, directing, and a great soundtrack. But, it is squandered by the forced and unnecessary elements of romance, which play a key role. The film would be better without it.

I first watched this movie when I was six years old. I loved every milisecond of it. The story is amazing and so goddamn emotional.

It's one of my favorite movies all time. The score is great, the story is classic, it's just a great north american movie. I am biased because of my love of this film, but it is worth a watch for sure.

Great period piece, the acting was solid, and the story was well developed. Daniel day-Lewis is at his finest, with Madeline Stowe also giving a good performance. There were a couple dead spots, but they were more then made up for.

I genuinely mean that when I say that Last of the Mohicans is spellbinding and that there is a lot to admire from it.

Firstly, Michael Mann's direction is brilliant. Mann is a more than competent director seen with the likes of Manhunter and Heat, and while everything you expect in a Michael Mann film is here(not a bad thing, quite the contrary) it is all done in a professional way.

The story is a sprawling one, but again that is not a bad thing in itself. Because while it is sprawling in nature, it is also a compelling story lifted by its sweeping action sequences(notably the climax), the love story that is kept in the background but remains prominent and emphatic characters.

The pace helps too, as while the film clocks in at just under two hours, Last of the Mohicans flies by with no scene feeling too rushed. I also appreciated that the quieter and more subtler moments, as seen with Russell Means' character, didn't drag.

That's not all. The cinematography is splendid and the settings are stunning that gives the film its epic, sweeping feel. Trevor Jones' score is outstanding, and probably his best since The Dark Crystal.

Last of the Mohicans has fine acting. Daniel Day-Lewis is a commanding lead, and Madeline Stowe is both alluring and convincing, likewise with Jodhi May. Russell Means is suitably composed, wise and well-meaning, but for me Wes Studi's marvellous and quite malevolent performance is the standout.

All in all, a spellbinding film. 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Life was hard, times were tough, I never imagined this when I was studying American history in school. You were on your own; how many of us could survive under these circumstances? On top of that, war is on between the British, who the colonists live under, and the French, who have enlisted the Indians. The settlers are at the mercy of both. This movie gives a graphic portrayal of life during these times. Great cinematography, great actors, great movie. I don't have many DVDs but this one is in my collection.… Expand

Best movie in history, you don't see true love nor true warriors like this anymore. If this movie doesn't show you the meaning of life, than nothing will.

The colonizers are greedy and there is no more naivety in the host people because their presence is already part of the New World. Yet the division is still clear, with the invaders told to respect their duties and the indigenous people committed to safeguarding their rights. Daniel Day Lewis is as fantastic as usual here and score is astonishing. Fights are maybe too spectacularzed and a bit too distant from reality but this movie works well and deserves to be a classic.… Expand
