« Didn't care for it. »

Lonesome Dove was awesome, a wonderful movie. BUT this time it was like, veryone was, "poor pitiful me" not to mention the over acting on Sissy' part. Sorry I just felt that this series deserved a much better ending.

« Simply HORRIBLE Mr. McMurtry! »

Mr. McMurtry what in the WORLD were you thinking about when you wrote this series??

There is almost not one thing believable in it. Pea Eye marrying Lorena? Are you kidding me??

Please everyone. Go back for a few minutes and look at Pea Eye in the original series. Especially toward the end where he is with the dying Gus and his long walk before he is found by the group. Then watch Lorena for a few minutes at almost any time during the series. I'll wait.

Is it in any way believable to you?

Now you tell me Mr. McMurtry, do you think that your storyline believable even to you?

Pea Eye is a blithering idiot! He is a ruined man after his walk in the wild! Now marry him off to the gorgeous Lorena that EVERY man wants??

Sorry, but I think Mr McMurtry was so angry after viewing Return To Lonesome Dove, (Which I think is quite good and a Shakespearean MASTERPIECE next to this bit) he intentionally went about destroying the whole series.

Just my 2 bits.

« Can't get enough! »

I guess I can't get enough of the Lonesome Dove saga & characters even though none are as good as the original. One reason is my favorite actor & his character are killed off in the original story. Some of the acting (especially in the beginning by "extras") is way below the worst of the original, but the main actors carry the story that holds up throughout. Although the end lacks something, it does bring the saga to a conclusion. I thought it could use elaboration of Newt's character & what happen to him. It is worth watching, but leaves you wanting more. Whether that's a fault of mine or the movie is hard to tell...

« Great sequel to Lonesome Dove! »

James Garner makes the transition into the Woodrow Call without any problems. You'll enjoy this movie! It's four hours long but well worth it!

« This was BAD »

This was a total mess of a movie. It almost seems unfair to judge it by the original Lonesome Dove except that it is supposed to be a sequel. Where the original was brilliant in just about every way, this is lacking. It is BAD. Captain Call is a totally different character here. I know he's older but c'mon...

I had hoped that this sequel might be up to par with the incredible, original "Lonesome Dove" which, in my opinion, is one of the best westerns ever made. It is not. It is a waste of film. To call this movie ordinary is being extremely kind. I don't know who cast this movie but they should have let Mox Mox, another 'man burner', set the guy ablaze. James Garner seems very out of place here. Where Tommy Lee Jones was brilliantly stoic, James Garner just seems to be kind of lost. He's out of his depth here. Don't waste your time with this one, rewatch the original.
