  truly the last (06 December 2008)
One of the best movies I have ever seen. The story never falters in gripping the imagination and the emotions and the music alone would make it worth watching.Don't forget that among the action and romance is the excellent performance of the man who becomes "the last of the Mohicans" The scene where he avenges his son is a high point in the movie.

  in my top ten films of all time....... (02 November 2008)
have seen this film more than a dozen times and it never stops to amaze me.. the perfect film combination of a history lesson, action/adventure, suspence and romance, cant believe that the oscars of its year missed it.. many great characters with most given relative depth, and a daniel day-lewis perfectly casted, establishing himself after winning the oscar for my left foot and showing of what is to come from him: in the name of.., gangs of ny, the crucible, there will be blood more recently.
A superb multi-layered story, hard and bloody at times but also soft and romantic.. one of the best music scores ever on film (!), visually stunning with breathtaking picture and cinematography, one of these films that makes u think "thats what cinema is all about".. heroic, poignant the more times u watch it, the better it gets..for boys and girls (great for a date as another reviewer said) , younger and older audience not to be missed.. 6* +

  Not a Classic in my opinion (11 October 2008)
After reading so many reviews praising this film, i just had to see it.
I tried three times to 'get' into this movie, but after i finally managed to sit through it till the end, i discovered it wasn't worth the effort.
Part of the problem for me is Daniel Day-Lewis. His character just doesn't regester as interesting. I've given it two stars for average because the last ten minutes were good.
It's not a bad film...just nowhere near as entertaining as 'The Patriot' or 'Braveheart', or countless other action flicks. But like i say it might be because i couldn't identify with any of the characters. I'm in the minority, so if you 'enjoy' this film then great. It was very disappointing for me, even 'Dances with Wolves' held my attention more than this. 'Apocalypto' is a better film (ok different era, but worth seeing)

  Amazing (24 March 2008)
This is one of my all time favourite movies. Great mix of acting, action,drama,audio,and video all wrapped around a superb story.
Don't get the director's cut, the original is almost perfect.
I'm still of the belief that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The theatrical release wasn't broke.
I just found out that the original was available in the UK and ordered it, because it is not available in North America. Review is from Canada.

  Astonishingly good (16 February 2008)
Director Michael Mann (The Insider, Heat, Miami Vice) injects the entire story of The Last of the Mohicans with a sense of immediacy and scenic majesty. In the opening scene for example, he uses no dialogue for several lengthy minutes, and instead utilizes the scenery and score to draw us immediately into the story.

Based on the well-known 1826 novel by James Fenimore Cooper, this historical epic features a wide-sweeping story that encompasses a major event in Early American history. It also takes a more intimate look at a group of characters brought together by circumstance.

Michael Mann has directed only a handful of films in the past decade, so his name is hardly mentioned among the ranks of premier Hollywood directors. However, each of these three films stands as one of the best films of its respective year. Last of the Mohicans also utilizes his abilities to direct believable emotional drama in almost any situation. While the love story probably happens too fast and is a bit far-fetched, he makes it feel real.

The success of this film relates directly to the immense talents of its impressive cast. Daniel Day Lewis and Madeline Stowe are impressive; Wes Studi and Russell Means are excellent.

It surprises me to hear film lovers whom I respect describe Last of the Mohicans as boring, dull, and uninteresting. I find it impossible not to be drawn into this sweeping adventure even after repeated viewings. The story told here is universal, and speaks about love, honor, and family. The action occurs at a ferocious pace through numerous well edited scenes, and the melodic score carries the story to a higher level.
