That's the only word that comes immediately to mind when hearing this title. Quite simply; it's awful.
This film is not about one man's fight for equality as it would have you believe. It's about Kevin Costner and how great he thinks he is.
This is nearly three hours of self-indulgent crap that grows even more offensive when I think about the awards that were showered onto it. Costner was even made an honorary Sioux tribesman.
Costner turns in a bland, boring performance which can't hold my attention for more than a minute at a time. He directs the film entirely around himself and there is barely a shot that doesn't contain his face, framed in a look of heroic self-admiration.
The dialogue and characterisation are about as gripping as a wet fish and the film relies too heavily on Costner's ridiculous imagery.
This would get zero out of ten if it wasn't for the fact that it somehow manages to exist. And so; one out of ten is all it qualifies for.
