Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
walden1914 This has been one huge disappointment. From the comments I had read before ordering "Lonesome dove" I understood this to be one of the greatest western movies/miniseries of all times. But let's see: the dialogues are corny, the acting is stilted; the tone is uncertain, going from serious (rarely) to slapstick (much too often), as if the director could not decide whether to opt for drama or comedy. The only reasons I finished it were, on the one hand, that I had paid for it, and, on the other, that I kept hoping the thing would ultimately redeem itself. Hopes were dashed. Money wasted. I certainly would not recommend it.
collinkd22 Lonesome Dove is not only the best western ever but it's the best miniseries ever. It's one of my favorites up there with the godfather, shawshank, and the dark knight. It made me laugh, made me feel sad, made me feel scared, and excited. They stuck very close to the source material which is good because Lonesome Dove is hands down the best novel ever.All the actors are cast perfectly and play the roles perfectly. The movie is long but has no pacing issues. I would recommend reading the book first but if you don't it won't take much away from the experience.Lonesome Dove is a timeless classic that my dad showed me and I plan to show my kids too.
pcdoctor-1 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.
ShelbyTMItchell A lot of Westerns are out of date these days. But this is an exception. Due not just to the star power headed by Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. As both are the lead characters.With the support from Rick Schroder, Danny Glover, Angelica Houston, Diane Lane, Robert Urich, etc. As they face lots of adversity and lots of casualties due to the fact, of moving the cattle of Duvall's and Jones from the South to Montana for a better life.It has a great a script and a great acting along the way. For four nights. It also spawned two sequels in the process. It turned into a ratings blockbuster for CBS when it aired originally in 1989.We now have the tapes to the mini series! You will not be disappointed.
