VHS Movie Reviews of The Last of the Mohicans (THX Widescreen Edition) [VHS]

Movie Review: THE HANDSOME BRAVE MOHICANS HELPED THE BRITISH COLONIAL'S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a outstanding movie that has it all, action, war, love, jealousy, betrayal, passion, honor, friendship, courage, sacrifice, death and sorrow, and freedom! This movie gives you a remarkable glimpse of Colonial America, and how the brave men and women, lived during these daring, and dangerous, unsettled times.

This is a story about the last of the Mohicans, a native american who is a very brave and honorable man who is Mohican; he has two brave, handsome sons, that he has raised to honorable manhood, except one is white who is (Daniel Day-Lewis)named Hawkeye. He loves his sons and is very proud of them both!
They all get caught up in the war between the British and the French, who have Indian allies, some are bitter renegades, full of hate and betrayal, and going on killing war parties.

The Mohicans help save the beautiful daughters of a British Colonial Munroe, and Hawkeye falls in love with one of them, that is named Cora. Together they go on a incredible journey across the breathtaking beauty of the forest, and waterfalls, and mountains, and splender of Colonial America, to get to the fort where the daughter's father (Colonial Munro) is trying to defend the fort, from a French takeover. Then their journey takes on a dramatic turn, that changes them forever!

This is a great movie, I highly recommend it! The chemisty, and looks that pass between handsome Hawkeye and the very beautiful Cora is awesome and hot! I loved this movie, it had a lot of action, and it gives you a idea of how hard and uncertain it was, especially during the harsh, fighting battle scenes! And it made me sad to know that the Mohicans are a vanishing people, who will be no more part of the frontier, because of the ever increasing, changing times of Colonial America!

And I also loved the protective way the handsome Mohican brother, of Hawkeye watched over the other very beautiful, younger daughter of Munroe, it seemed like in a unspoken way, that they belonged together! Awesome movie! This movie was very well done! and I loved the wonderful, outstanding work of the people behind the camera lens!

Movie Review: a slightly more realistic version of a great film
Summary: 4 Stars

FILM: Having only have seen the theatrical release of Mohicans, I'd always been meaning to pick it up on dvd, and opted for this Director's Cut version. Lots of little things have been added or cut, but the story is the same and the best parts (the battles) have remained intact. I would have liked a Mann commentary, but from what I understand he was frustrated with the prodcution because of studio interference, so has probably since washed his hands of the film - a shame, considering how well it still holds up as a period piece today after being almost 15 years old. But Mann's always been obsessed with realism and authentic detail, and having him explain the lengths he went to for this film would have been very cool. Neverthelees, it's still great to have another grreat Mann film in my dvd library.

DVD: Not a great NTSC transfer, with the over-saturated reds of the British soldiers coats being an unfortunate stand-out. Decent enough for fans.

Movie Review: Still a beautiful movie!
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a beautiful well acted movie when it came out, and is still a beautiful movie, although I have taken a star off for the directors cut version.

Why do directors feel compelled to re-do their work after the fact? And, what was Michael Mann thinking by taking out the Clannad song? It was a haunting and poignant song that captured the essence of the moment as Nathaniel was rushing to save Cora, and that ultimately led to the climax of the movie. In this case, the song should have been left in, and would have added to the movie, as it did in the original version.

I would have liked a few bonus sections, such as how the movie was made, and maybe an explanation of the times it was based in. I understand that Daniel Day-Lewis, Russell Means and Eric Schweig had to train strenuously for the fight scenes and racing up those big mountains. A little information like that in the directors cut would have been interesting.

Movie Review: A question about the director's cut
Summary: 3 Stars

Sorry this isn't a review of this actual DVD, because I've seen only the version of the film shown recently a fair amount on Fox Movie Channel and HD Net (the same version on both). If you're familiar with that, I'd appreciate you're noting in the comments for this review whether the aired version is the original or this director's cut. Thanks -- it'll make the buying decision easier.

Movie Review: My Opinion
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent story with alot of action combined with a love story. Highly recommend viewing.

Summary of The Last of the Mohicans (THX Widescreen Edition) [VHS]

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
