The Last of the Mohicans (1992)

How sad is this?

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I saw this first at the age of nearly 18 in the theater and it forever changed me. This picture has been a high-water mark to me ever since that day and I have seen it more times through than I can hope to remember. From the tack-sharp script-writing to the spectacular cinematography, the blistering performances to the impeccable costuming, and the phenomenal score to the achingly beautiful sequences in which so much is told that is faithful to Cooper's work, successfully saying as much as his many words with nearly an absence of dialog, this film is a triumph from the first frame to the last. Unforgettable. PLEASE, bring us the 4K master and Bluray HDR release that this epic deserves.

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.

This is one of the best movies I have seen. See it. It is a great movie. It has great acting. It also has a great story line. This movie you should see. My cousin Eric Schweig was in this movie. It is one of the best movies I have seen. See this movie it is a great movie.

The Good= This film has great music(one of my favorite soundtracks), a good cast, a strong story(from J.F. Cooper), great scenery, and an epic feel. Enough action and scenery and sensible revenge to make it watchable. Magua was a good character that you disliked, but could identify with his motivations and sympathize with his reasons.The Bad= Underdeveloped characters, who get little time to explain anything about their relations with other characters or how they feel about anything. Some boring parts of the script, and lackluster moments or additions to the storyline that didn't further the plot or your interest. Also, the sound seems too quiet for the whispering dialogue in places when I watch on a DVD player. Oh, and the intimate dynamic of the relationships between Alice and Uncas, and Hawkeye and Cora, seem edited out like something was missing. Really artificial story telling with gaps.The Ugly= One of the worst things about this movie was the sanitized violence. I don't enjoy torture porn or violence just to be over the top, but really??? So many tomahawk strikes, knife stabs, bullet wounds, etc. with no blood or gore. It would have really given the movie more realism and depth to hear a loud chop of a weapon and see more blood flowing like "The Patriot" or "Braveheart", and been more satisfying. Some of the fight choreography and realism seemed really sanitized. I also found Lewis(though a good actor) to possibly be a mismatch for this role, and too "pretty" for a white man living in the woods all day.
