Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Wildly romantic, daringly exciting, Michael Mann's film of James Fenimore Cooper's novel created a new babe magnet out of Daniel Day-Lewis, he of the heaving pecs and flowing mane. As Hawkeye, he plays an American settler raised by the Mohicans who is forced to serve as a guide for British adventurism in upstate New York. But the British have been outflanked by the French (and their Indian allies); then British honor is betrayed when a band of renegades assaults them during their retreat. Mann captures the viciousness of this era's hand-to-hand combat in startling battle scenes. But he also invests the film with heartfelt romance, as the feelings swell between Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. The ending is a stunner, a long, nearly wordless sequence of battle and loss. Strong performances all around, particularly by Russell Means as Chingachgook and Wes Studi as the evil Magua. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - directors version ruined movieI agree with so many that the director ruined this beautiful movie when he put it on DVD. I will be digging out my VHS version. The original VHS had a wonderful flow with powerful music like "I will Find you" by Clannad that was cut from the DVD to my disappointment. The DVD scenes are choppy and rushed so that the intensity and emotion of the movie cannot build and by cutting some of the most romantic music of the soundtrack, the movie was further diminished. Soooo sad. Rating:  - Bait and Switch PackagingI ordered the DVD "The Last of the Mohicans" and had a selection choice and chose the one clearly marked "Director's Expanded Edition". When it arrived and I unpacked it to play the DVD I discovered that only the cover sleeve was marked "Director's Expanded Edition", there were not additional minutes of filming nor special features as noted on the back of the sleeve. I was disapppointed but did not complain to Amazon nor did I return the DVD; I am not a 'returner'. The movie itself was wonderfully ...

I'll be brief... - Continuity: the story does not flow. It actually seems like a cheesy B movie with a ton of well dressed extras. I can't exclaim enough how fragmented this film feels in this release. It does not absorb you into the drama or action at all - Audio: The power of the amazing musical score in the original cut is entirely gone. ... Read More Rating: - Must Have for Fans of Last of the MohicansAnyone that loves this movie must have this special edition. Though some lines and music from the original are missing from this edition, the extra footage makes the purchase worth it. Rating: - Stays with youI never watched this when it came out in the early 90's, but had heard about it. It was wonderfully done, Daniel Day-Lewis was mesmerizing, and I was struck at how it did not feel the least bit dated. I did not read the book, so can't compare, but for a movie, this had much "edge of your seat" action, romance (not overdone or oversexual), and beauty. And yes, DDL running through the woods makes for some rewinding and replaying! Browse for similar items by category:
