This western epic has a lot of good things going for it. First of all, the cinematography is outstanding, especially in the extended version. Second, the effects, props, costumes, and stunts were amazing. Then, the acting is great as well.
'Dances with Wolves' is not a truly unique story, there are many iterations of similar told stories, and there have been many that have been told since this film. However, if anything, that only speaks to it being a story that people enjoy being told, and this film is no exception.
This is not my favourite Kevin Costner film, but it would be completely fair to say that it's his greatest achievement.
