Rating: Summary: From boring to ridiculous Review: Painfully slow moving first half leading to the last hour of horrible direction and editing. The last hour is so bad it's funny. Lonesome Dove DVD is much, much better. The best modern western is the HBO series Deadwood, now on DVD.
Rating: Summary: Stay Away Patriotic Americans Review: This dvd is absolutely horrible. It just reeks with political correctness. Do you really want to purchase a movie where Woodrow Call, from the original Lonesome Dove series(which was fantastic for the most part)whines like a sissy when talking about the settlers of Texas, and tells a negatively portrayed Gus "We have no chance against the Mexicans, or the Comanches. We're finished." Utter leftist nonsense, ridiculous caricatures, you don't need to purchase this.
Rating: Summary: Give me a break Review: Very disappointing. Terrible script and worse acting. Keith Carradine is god awful making many of his lines seem like very bad adlibs (typical). One of the exceptions is Harry Dean Stanton who does a credible job. Costuming and the sets are good Shame on Artisan and Hallmark for trying to get mileage out of their great Lonesome Dove series with this piece of dung. This story could have and should have been much better delivered. As presented, this should be an embarassment to Larry McMurtry.
