Amazon.co.uk Review Kevin Costner's 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and careful, the love story between Costner and Mary McDonnell's character is captivating. Only the third-act portrait of white intruders as morons feels overbearing, but even that leads to a terribly moving conclusion. Costner's direction is assured, the balance of action and intimacy is perfect--what more could anyone want outside of an unqualified masterpiece? --Tom Keogh

very good February 24, 2010 Miquel Segui Rotger (Spain) I received this item very fast and the blue ray quality in this movie is very good. I am happy for that.
Don't buy this Blu Ray!! February 11, 2010 Mr. M. Pitt (UK) Shame on the distributers .
I bought this item from the German Site and whilst it is a little more expensive, it is worth the effort. It arrived in just three days, is the complete version and has the subtitles in English. Picture quality and sound are stunning. Don't speak German? Neither do I, Website is identical to British one i just used them side by side. Why are we short changed so often in the UK ??
The French item is also the full uncut version and has extras but try as I might I cannot get the subtitles to change to English.
Three different versions - take your pick but i am glad i bought the German one. All the extras are available on the three DVD version if you need them and KC's commentary is really good.
GERMAN VERSION February 2, 2010 Roy J. King (Pontyclun Wales) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The German version is the only one worth buying as it is the full uncut version (which is by far superior to the theatrical version as there is so much missing) with a commentary by Kevin Kostner & DTS 7.1 HD. Picture quality is very good considering the age of this movie with German & English sub titles it's the only version to buy. Bought mine from Amazon Germany. In my opinion one the greatest Westerns ever made, made even better in Blu-ray.
Excellent transfer! December 8, 2009 Gary W. Weyers 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's nice to see Dances with a 1080 transfer. And good for Warners for not locking the region code on this disc. Hopefully the longer version will surface on BD soon!
Buy the German Version on Blu-Ray December 3, 2009 J. Gillan (Stirlingshire, Scotland) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Unlike several of the other reviewers here, after watching the Directors cut of this movie many times, I don't want to accept the shorter edited version. I don't have a short attention span and where a movie grips your attention throughout the entire length of it (Like DWW does), I for one don't want it to end!
For what it's worth, the transfer to Blu-Ray is excellent, the sound likewise, but I agree with those people who've stated their preference for the three disc standard definition DVD, as being their favourite in terms of extras.
So in conclusion and for the time being, I would also recommend the German Version on Blu-Ray, as this is the best current version on that format to buy.
Amazon get your facts right, this is the one real gripe I have about your service; often the information is woefully inaccurate or indeed often gives the wrong information on running times etc. Also, there is no excuse for ever getting the region wrong and although HD DVD's are region free, Blu-Rays and SDVD's are not - sadly:-{
