Summary: Lonesome Dove.
Comment: This is an exellent western movie I wish I'd watched it when it was first released.Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are just superb.The other actors are also very good.The departure of Duvall I did not like but I guess the director Simon Wincer knew what he was doing. Yes I will watch it again.

Summary: Clunky and cartoonish
Comment: I haven't read the book, but I bought this on the strength of other reviewers. And what a disappointment. I'm a big fan of westerns, going back to the Lone Ranger - and that's pretty much what this goes back to. Plotwise, it's episodic and simplistic, full of cornball events and ridiculous coincidences. The direction is boring and basic, the photography and scenery repetitious and forgetable. Everyone keeps running into everyone else on the trail to Montana, with dramatic timing that makes the whole yarn laughable. Apart from Duvall, who's superb, the characters are thin and cliched, no more than flesh and blood cartoons. By halfway through the second episode, I couldn't care less, and after Angelica Houston made her miscast entrance, the whole thing became unbearably sentimental, sluggish and silly. This is not an epic masterpiece by any stretch. The Godfather is an epic masterpiece. Or Star Wars, for that matter. This is a staid western ultra-lite. I shudder to think what the subsequent DVDs are like if, as most reviewers concur, they exhibit diminishing returns.
