I had no idea Dances with Wolves II could be worse than the first. I would have expected something more than cool special effects and a climax scene that scarcely distracted the audience from this movie's otherwise mediocre attempt at a plot. Score, supporting cast, and character development were appalling considering this movie was as hyped as Gladiator.
Even if you can put aside the not-so-subtle left-wing ideology in this movie's tired themes (rapacious white man loses to spiritual natives), you would be better off watching Titanic again. At least that movie develops its themes rather than relying on stereotype and faux drama.
Two stars for glowing jellyfish gods and robotic war machines copied from Iron Man.
