SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
mayomay This is one of my all time favorite movies. I think Tom Berenger and Barbara Hershey did a wonderful job. I remember the first time I saw it, I was nervous and excited with them. The plot was great, the execution was great, the comedy was just my style, the only reason I can come up with for why they may have lower reviews, is because it came out relatively closely with Dances With Wolves, which can in some ways be similar. But, it is an entirely different storyline, and in my opinion, this movie was far greater of the two. I've seen Dances with Wolves a few times, but I've watched this one at least a dozen. And I am here today because I was researching (for the 3rd time) as to when it will finally come out in digital format. I have been impatiently waiting for this for about 2 years now. ;-) I absolutely love this movie!!!
Charlie O'Neal "Last of The Dogmen" was and is the most outstanding performance Mr. Bergen has given in his career. As an audience member I really felt he WAS the character he portrayed. He has been in so many great films, but as I have watched this one 23 times, this is how I know he is great in the film and the film is great because each time is like watching for the first time, so excited and holding my breath! He makes you feel as if this is something that could happen right now today!! To me,which I know means very little, Your performance Sir, should receive the Academy Award. You are truly amazing in your career and The Father has Blessed you. Again,thank you and wish there would be part 2 of this film. God Bless. A Fan of all Your Films, Charlie
LeonLouisRicci Unseen, under-appreciated, and a Movie that defies explanation as to why it works so well because it shouldn't. It is a Fantasy/Western. How many of those have you seen? It takes a Twilight Zone type story and infuses it on a Modern Day Western Movie template and asks you to believe all this. You most likely will with gleeful abandon.Because it is so charming and produced so well that it all comes together with an ease of confidence that is enticing and wonderful. The scenery is beautiful, the Characters are likable, it moves along with twists and turns and it is like a Classic Children's Story that can be enjoyed by Adults as well.This is Family entertainment at its best. Never Corny, just thoughtful and it is an experience to behold. The Romance is playful, the Action is tough but not in a showy kind of Modern way. This is really a Fairy Tale. An adventure to one of those Lost Horizons of displaced people in a hidden land. Everything seems (sur)real here as two Cultures clash and just like in the Storybooks, everyone lives Happily Ever After......The End.
abcj-2 Last of the Dogmen (1995) - on AMC - It is always a treat to stumble upon a film that captures your attention for some inexplicable reason and then works its way into your heart. That's what happened today as I watched "Last of the Dogmen." There are elements that remind me a bit of "Dances with Wolves" and "Cocoon." I think the "Cocoon" part is Wilford Brimley's voice in the narration and the supernatural elements. At one point Brimley as the narrator states that faith is believing in something you can't see. If you really want to enjoy this film, then faith that anything is possible will help.Any western with Native Americans being pursued by white oppressors will always be reminiscent of many films before and after "Dances with Wolves." This film is in favor of preserving the rights of the Cheyenne to continue their heritage. Gates (Tom Berenger) and Lillian ( Barbara Hershey) have their rom-com "meet cute" when Gates seeks her help in learning more about a possible hidden Cheyenne tribe he encounters evidence of while in pursuit as a bounty hunter. Conveniently, Lillian is an anthropologist specializing in the Cheyenne culture and is also fluent in their language. In search of the possible tribe, the two main characters end up on a long and fruitful journey along with Gates' faithful dog Zip.Once with the Cheyenne, they both come to understand their ways, but conflict occurs when Gates leaves the hidden camp to return for medicine. The medicine helps seal the bond with the tribe and Gates and Lillian learn many details about the last of the Dogmen that escaped the whites over 120 winters ago and adapt to their culture. Determined to keep the Cheyenne hidden from society, Gates eventually has to part from Lillian which is tough now that they have spent many moons together. Predictably, Gates secret is discovered by his angry former father-in-law, but all is eventually set aright and, once again, the theme of faith determines how the audience will feel about the ending. While this isn't of the caliber of "Dances with Wolves," it still shows that good hearts and good people do exist, and that there are those willing to preserve the heritage of a lost nation. Overall, this can't compare, and it is in no way near as good. But if you enjoy a good western with beautiful scenery, a beautiful story, and an ending based on hope and faith that goodness will prevail, then this is a worthwhile way to spend a couple of hours.
