A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The first must-see film of the year.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Superb soundtrack, incredible actors and acting, brilliant story and script. This film is a real gem and part of the Day-Lewis legacy. The story is poignant, thrilling and climaxes into a incredible crescendo. Wes Studi (Magoa) is one of the great screen villains. I must of watched this film 50 times over the space of 20 yrs, and I keep coming back.
The Last of the Mohicans offers viewers pure entertainment along with adventure, romance and action. The story tells of an adopted son, his Mohican brother and father trying to avoid the ever expanding war between the British and the French in the colonial era of North America. But when they rescue two daughters of the British commander of a fort, they are forced in the middle of this battle to return the daughters safely with danger at every turn. I've always loved this movie ever since my father showed this to me as a kid. I instantly fell in love with the score and the story. Last of the Mohicans offers the audience everything to keep you entertained. This is a hard movie to only watch once. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys movies. This for me is a perfect rainy day film.
First book/author I ever quit before finishing the book. I was a young voracious reader with no sophisticated thoughts about writing. All I knew was it sucked and Cooper has remained an undeserved successful hack in my mind ever since. So for me, this is a movie that greatly improved on the novel, regardless of any deviations.I like good historical fiction but expecting 'good' at the movies was always crapshoot. I remember being so skeptical as the lights went down. The French/Indian war is a wealth of action/adventure stories and I've never understood why there hadn't been anything good since Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) and Northwest Passage (1940). When the carriage crossed the bridge in that gorgeous shot, I relaxed. But when Magua stepped out of the shadows...oh boy. I still think he is one of film's greatest villains."Magua understand the white man very well."The care and attention to detail is astonishing. This is one of the best blends of modern sensibilities and popular 18th century form of adventure/romance. There's even a car chase in canoes. I put this on the same shelf with "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World)" and "The Kingdom of Heaven".
while i'm watching the movie , and after 50 minutes , i asked myself why i have not heared about this movie before ? Why the rating isn't above 8 ? i was really enjoying it and so confused because it was a great movie for me . but at the end i knew why The director ruined it with that weak ending He seems like he couldn't sacrifice one of the main characters where he should have , He killed the two secondary characters whom i was not having any feeling about them , just to let us see the two main characters sad ! will unfortunately it didn't work. for me it was an awful ending to a great movie . Before i see the ending my intention was to rate this movie 10 or 9 . after i saw it i could not .Daniel Day Lewis as always great performance and i watched the movie because of himAmazing soundtrack8/10
