Overrated for me - Dances With Wolves Reviews

I watched this movie expecting an outstanding piece, given all of the awards and praise, but I was rather disappointed. I found myself almost uncomfortable at what I was watching more than once, and thought that altogether the whole thing was rather a drag. This was one of those movies where the director seemed too concerned with making us aware of how awful white Americans were to Native Americans. The characters that were not part of the tribe were made to seem harsh and corrupt, just carbon copies of a stereotype that whites were unmerciful to every native they met. The scenery however, was beautiful and the acting solid, though there were a few weak spots. I didn't enjoy the actual story line of the movie either, though it was a respectable script, just not what I was expecting from such a heralded film.
