Dances with Wolves, 1990. A Civil War era soldier befriends a Sioux tribe.
Directed by & starring Kevin Costner. Written by Michael Blake, based on his novel.
Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 3/4 (Good). Soooo much more could have been done with this character if he'd been played by an actor.
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 1/4 (Bad)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). I was expecting this to be much worse. Three hours of Kevin Costner in a story about historical injustice? But it turns out to be entirely watchable. They keep things quite morally complex, considering how preachy it would have been in the hands of a lot of filmmakers.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
