At least as good as I can remember it from reading it last time more than 15 years ago.  There is plenty of nice scenery and amazing battle scenes.  It reminded me a lot of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0187393\/\">The Patriot<\/a>&#8221; at times.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that spoils this film is the language.  British soldiers are speaking American without any accent.  Indians are speaking like cops from the 80&#8217;s action movies.  Every phrase and every word shows that this movie was done in recent times.  Even few indian smalltalks don&#8217;t save it.  They sound very out of time and very false.  This is such a pity.  Everything else was creating the atmosphere pretty good, and if it wasn&#8217;t for the language, I would go straight into that atmosphere and imagine myself back in those times.<\/p>\n<p>Still the film is very good and worthy both your time and money.  I&#8217;ll rate it as an 8 out of 10.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>I&#8217;ve just watched &#8220;The Last of the Mohicans&#8221; on DVD.
