Reaction: After starting the season off with two box office successes, this one doesn't sting quite as much as it could have. It also continues a rough patch at the box office for star Robert Pattinson (more on that in the Box Office Breakdown).

"Gillespie's expert filmmaking and Patterson's performance creates a new addition of this timeless source material. I'd give credit to the rest of the cast if Robert didn't command to the same level Day-Lewis did when he did it. The director is the star since they elevate it to heights no film fan could've wanted." - Avery Whannell, IGN

"Craig Gillespie's direction is competent, but he is unable to convey the epic scale and tone of previous adaptations of The Last of the Mohicans. I didn't mind so much that this film has been made so many times, but what really disappointed me was that this new version really didn't try to do anything the others didn't. If you're going to adapt something that has already been done (and done really well), you've got to bring something new to the table, and this film from Gillespie and writer Andrew Doster didn't deliver that." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press

"The Last of the Mohicans is a decent, albeit unspectacular adaptation of the source material. Maybe it would come across as better if not for Michael Mann's spectacular previous adaptation, which this one fails to top (or even match) in every production aspect. While it fails to be the definitive Last of the Mohicans film, it at least is watchable." - George Overmyer, Baltimore Magazine
