Highly Overrated But Still Good

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

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've seen Lonesome Dove at least 10 times in my life. It's 6 hours long, 6 times 10 is 60. I've watched Lonesome Dove for at least 60 hours. I've also read the book twice. I'm 27 years old and have a lot of Lonesome Dove left in me. I'm looking forward to growing old and watching Lonesome Dove over and over until I eclipse the magic 200 hour mark and then I can finally get the t-shirt. The 200 Hour Lonesome Dove t-shirt.Watch this movie or read this book. Or do both at the same time and really dive in. I dove in so far, I got a job next spring herding cattle from Lonesome Dove, Texas to Montana.

About 10 years have passed since most of the other reviews were written, and if anything, the quality of Lonesome Dove in relation to even the best of the miniseries shown on television today is painfully obvious. Lonesome Dove is simply one of the best of all times. Even the high-quality HBO productions pale in comparison. I agree with the reviewer who wrote that it should be ranked with the greatest theatrical Westerns, such as The Searchers and Red River.What more could any fan of Westerns ask for? It's a great story. The film features several great actors, such as Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, and Angelica Huston, in their prime, with an excellent supporting cast. The cinematography is stunning, the music deservedly won a major award, and the production values are closer to those of a good theatrical film than to a typical made-for-TV movie.I bought a poor-quality DVD release of LD seven or eight years go. Fortunately, Lonesome Dove is available on Netflix streaming video in a high-definition, wide-screen version. I recommend it highly.
