Summary: Captivating, touching, dramatic and adventurous...
Review: I was never really into westerns too much, but this series is really amazing. Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Danny Glover -- they all turn out incredible performances. It is worth the $35 to buy this series because it is one of the best ever made.

Summary: An Awsome Story!
Review: I was originally given the book Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry when it first came out. Being a big fan of westerns I fell in love with the characters and the action-packed story. As the mini-series was announced I was both excited and skeptical at the same time. How could you take as detailed a plot as Lonesome Dove is and give it justice? Very well it seems.The series, starring Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones as retired Texas Rangers, follows the book almost to the letter. As good as the stars are (and Duval & Jones ARE good) the series doesn't make it without the VERY strong supporting cast. Danny Glover as Deets (the scout) Robert Urlich as Jake Spoon (the gambler) Diane Lane as Lori (the good-hearted whore) and Ricky Schroeder as Newt (the teen-age orphan) are all as good as it gets. The action is non-stop and the twist and problems that befall everyone throughout the story all seem true to life. I would strongly recommend this mini-series to anyone looking for good story telling, great casting, and exciting action.

Summary: Become a part of the western feeling
Review: If you can live with the out-dated visual effects, this is a mini-series really worth the time. A splendid charactirization of the west in all its colors, from comedy to tragedy. The movie is in constant motion with only few slow passages.

Summary: Lonesome Dove on DVD
Review: Lonesome Dove has always been one of my favorite movies. I was delighted when it was available on VHS to add to my library and be able to enjoy whenever I wanted. I purchased the VHS version a couple of years ago. I was so disappointed. They had taped it in EP to get it all on one tape. The picture quality was fair to poor. When I see that this DVD version was now available, I hesitated, but ordered it anyhow. I want to say that the DVD version is excellent. It is not a straight run movie. It is devided into 4 parts, but that's ok. I finally now have a copy of Lonesome Dove I can enjoy over and over again.

Summary: Best two out of three
Review: Lonesome dove is a keeper and true to the book; streets of laredo feels too much like a made for tv movie; but the series is redeemed in dead man's walk. If you are a fan of the series, it is worth the price. The special features are disappointing as you have to read the features, there are no clips or photos to go with the information.

Summary: One of the great westerns
Review: Lonesome Dove is arguably the greatest Western every made, equipped with an all-star cast, it really stands out with the classic cow boy tales. Woodrow Call is played by Tommy Lee Jones, although he is hardly recognisable in the big white beard. Augustus Mcrae is Woodrow's old amigo from the days of the Texas Rangers; played by Robert Duval, the pairing is a very odd one, much like chalk and cheese in fact.
They decide life in Lonesome Dove is too quiet, and decide to ride almost 3000 miles with a herd of cattle to Montana. There they will achieve their fortunes; they hope. The Film is about the adventures, they and their gang encounter on the way. Its a must in my eyes, a simple must.

Summary: One Of The Best Movie Series Around!
Review: LONESOME DOVE is not only the finest western ever made. It may very well be the greatest motion picture of all time. The acting is perfect, and the musical score (by my favorite composer, Basil Poledouris) is the best ever written by ANYONE at ANYTIME for ANYTHING! The scenery is beautiful, and the storyline is pure gold, holding realistic humor, suspense, and drama like you've never experienced in front of a TV screen. This is far from your average cattle-drive flick! At six hours, LONESOME DOVE is an epic masterpiece that has yet to be topped. The only other film(s) that even come close is/are THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
Rating: 5 Stars STREETS OF LAREDO, the sequal, is nowhere near as good as its predecessor. That said, it is most definitely a good film. This time around, James Garner replaces Tommy Lee Jones as Captain Call. Though he isn't as good as Jones was (he was perfect), Garner was the best choice for taking over the role. Besides him, the rest of the cast does pretty well. One big disappoitment is the music; there is NONE! Sure, there's a soundtrack, but you won't remember one second of it (it's that bland). Westerns are supposed to have good music! The storyline is pretty good, and holds a lot of suspense. The worst of it comes near the second half with Call and that little Mexican girl. That was just weird, and had no place in this film or any other western. Plus, it stole this subplot from Clint Eastwood's superior PALE RIDER. Overall, certainly not a bad movie, but it ain't all that great, either.
Rating: 3.5 Stars The least of the trilogy, DEAD MAN'S WALK, is a prequal to LONESOME DOVE, tracking Gus and Call's earlier days as Texas Rangers. I must say, the best actors were the ones who were on screen from anywhere from five (Brian Dennehy) to twenty minutes (F. Murray Abraham), and all of it is very disappointing that they don't get nearly enough screen time. The two leads have to carry the immeasurable burden of filling in the shoes of Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones/James Garner, and I gotta cut 'em some slack for that. But still, the whole time they're just doing impressions of their characters' older selves. And that girl who played Clara [was bad]! The plot of DEAD MAN'S WALK is for the most of it handled with mediocrity, especially the ending! The last twenty minutes are the absolute worst I've ever spent in front of a TV screen. But the one section that actually has to do with the Dead Man's Walk is, on the other hand, one of the most emotionally powrful I've ever seen. This thirty minutes almost makes up for the entire four hour mess............almost.
Rating: 3 Stars All three DVDs are bare bones, and what is there is just plain "BLAH". Sadly, LONESOME DOVE, by far the best of all, receives the worst DVD treatment in terms of picture and sound quality. This boxed set is only really worth getting if you're a diehard western fan and insist on owning the enture series.
