I thought this was decent storytelling. I haven't read the book and I don't know how accurate the portrayal of Native Americans is. The main character is fictional but the general history and people are fairly accurate, from what I read.
Wikipedia said the producers dumbed down the original script to make it more like a generic Western, which is tragic.
I love the newer Daniel Day Lewis version. This 1936 version is merely "good" compared to that. This will appeal mostly to classic movie fans, or people who like a simple straightforward story.
