ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

milest-30909 I am generally not a big Steve Zahn fan because of his comedy acting career where he almost always plays the clueless dummy,; However this series shows he can act as a solid lead in a non comedy role as a versitile actor with skills that are realistic in natural fashion that makes the audience believe in the part he portrays. The caracter that he played fell right into place with Robert Duvall taking over the series as Gus with the same emphisis on the vocal speech as well as the character variances. Val Kilmer was, as always a great character role, but I think he could have been more of the powerfull character than was portrayed. (writers fault) His acting as always was impecable! There is also a GREAT cast of actors to make this mini series a MUST to watch. One bad note is the last part of the three part series shows the series jump forward in time without knowing what happened to the players that were cut with weak explanations as to their demise. There should have been two or three more episodes (and maybe there were) to show the progression of life as it turned into the Lonesome Dove series. Everyone was left wondering how the new born boy was 6-7-8 years old, but the father, and mother only aged slightly; However the part of Kilmer (and others) seemed to have aged 20 years or more?

BasicLogic What I want to say for this so-called "Prequel" is that if those two main great characters in "Lonesome Dove" were developed and evolved from these two guys in this prequel, then I should call it a 'Mircale'. Because these two guys in this drama series or, should I say, if the writer of "Comanche Moon" was indeed Larry Mcgarrity as who wrote "Lonesome Dove", all I could say is ugly duckling indeed could become white swan later.What we saw in this mini-series was just a bunch of illiterate morons, imbeciles and stupid clowns, all from comic books. There's no way these two guys could have been evolved into those two guys later in "Lonesome Dove". All we got in this whole mini-series were just a bunch of brainless yoyos messed around like blind dogs chasing their own tails and didn't know what was what. They were just like headless chickens aimlessly running around in Taxas, shamelessly called themselves "Taxas Rangers". My god, if all the western genre novels, movies or mini-series are just full of such pathetic characters, then they'd be just worthless jokes.I do think that after won the Pulitzer, making "Lonesome Dove" so successfully popular, the author just wanted to keep cashing-in with prequels and sequels. Yet sadly speaking, none of them was as good as "Lonesome Dove", especially "Comanche Moon" and, by god, the adapted mini-series was even worse, all the figures in it simply all turned into laughable retarded jerks."Street of Loredo", the sequel to "Lonesome Dove", by the way, is at least serious enough, but the sad encountering of the story is miserable and anti-climax, completely toppled the greatness of its precedent origin.

jcoffland I just watched Lonesome Dove, Return To Lonesome Dove, Streets Of Laredo and Dead Man's Walk. All excellent. This sorry hunk of junk is cheaply done and poorly acted.In the previous series, Captain Call and Gus McCrae come off as tough respectable cowboys. Despite the fact that Caption Call is played by a different actor every time each one quickly won me over. In Dead Man's Walk the boys are believable as the younger versions of the experienced Texas rangers. In Comanche Moon they are just a couple of chubby rednecks. I had to stop watching.I suspect many of the glowing reviews for this show were written by the people who made this stinking pile. It's a sorry end to an otherwise great franchise.

ubesmiley The casting on this film is incredible! You could actually go straight into Lonesome Dove and believe you were watching the characters age. The acting was amazing. Every character gave you a glimpse into the mind set of the original actors. Perhaps not all scenes were historically correct, however, I don't believe that was the purpose of the film. I believe it was meant to give us an insight into the connections that formed the bond we all came to love in the original film, and that it did accomplish beautifully. I hope it shows again followed by the original. Again, this casting director did a stellar job of casting, I want to see more of her work. Thank you for three lovely evenings of entertainment!
