I love this movie!! It's cheesy and campy and full of everything that made this era of film great, and it's done well! The story is absurd, though not as absurd as Waterworld, and the action has that 90s quality that we all love! This is definitely in my top ten favorite movies, even though it was silly. I know many people hated this movie, but that's because they weren't willing to suspend their lack of imagination. This is Kevin Costner at his best, earnest and fun and well done. Watch!

Classical Kevin Costner flick. It is a bit long, but entertaining all the way. Excellent story telling, interesting characters, unpredictability to the end. One of my all time favorites.
