Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Having read the Lonesome Dove novel by Larry McMurtry, watching this movie was truly seeing his words come to life. This movie was originally supposed to have John Wayne as Woodrow, and while that would of been a performance worth seeing, Tommy Lee Jones does an excellent job in the role as Woodrow. His ability to be a main character while also connecting with Woodrow's disapproval of attention and groups of people plays out beautifully. The scenery and filming location throughout the mini series mostly took place on a ranch in South Texas, and it is clear that not as much has changed in South Texas as it has in other areas of the state. The story that McMurtry has dreamed up is a story that has a little bit of something for every viewer. It is the type of story boys spend their whole lives dreaming about taking.

I own the entire Lonesome Dove Saga, I own the books, and I've read and watched them many times. This one though, the original mini series, was what got me into it though. I love a great western, and I love a great western done well, and this one was done very well. An incredible all star cast, and just a great show to watch. I recommend buying the whole saga and watching it in order though to get the whole story line. Read the books too to get more out of it. If you have a whole weekend to kill, I'd definitely recommend sitting down and watching this, it's well worth it.

I love Westerns. The best ones (Naked Spur, The Searchers, Ride the High Country, Shane, etc.) told gritty tales of struggle and hardship, of man at war with nature, evil and himself. They are not alabaster saints, they are real people struggling with real temptation and real failures, but in the end they are redemption stories of people making amends and saving others from their mistakes.In "Lonesome Dove", however, the message is different: Life Stinks and Then You Die.8 hours of talk, talk, talk with no point but vanity and stupidity will get you killed. If that's news to anyone, just surf the internet for five minutes, it'll save you wasting a lot of time.

This is what happens when a good for nothing joke of a movie gets dozens of awards.It is the number of awards that makes people want to see the movie, having great expectations.Like Americans say, EPIC FAIL...American FAIL.I will not bother watching the related sequels.First of all, it is supposed to be a western.No, sir, no western here, as there is no dignity in stealing animals.Two once respected lawmen, going to the other side and becoming criminals, in a movie that tells the story unbelievably slow, no idea of justice and heroism, not a hint of anything like it...This movie is way too American, and some folks who give the movie awards always forget that America is not the World - such " experts " can make a brotherhood or something like this, instead of being an institution, or they better go home in the ghetto and scream how great they are.Second, we, Europeans, already know that America was created by world's top criminal refugees, greedy man and whores, cheap women and you name it.Where are the native people who lived in America ?! The user will be in shock when the movie proudly states that " Americans " have killed all Indians ?! SO, BEING PROUD OF A GENOCIDE MAKES YOU WORSE THAN BOTH Hitler AND STALIN.This movie shows some hint of the truth, but giving so many awards to something that should make Ameicans shame...yuck! Instead, they are all proud to be " Americans " ( there is no such thing as an American nation, it is just a bunch of immigrants, criminals, Average Joes and financial vampires.Third, leaving all behind and starting from scratch with something stolen, like in the movie - it is what Americans do nowadays.USA attacks countries, rich in natural resources, fakes terrorism and sues people without a trial and a lawyer, just to keep their good for nothing dollar living - in Europe, the money are guaranteed with gold.All in all, truth hurts.Facts hurt so much that I am not sure if this review will ever be published.
