a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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?

This was a decent adaptation of the Larry McMurtry novel, as it was a prequel to Lonesome Dove. It was OK, not great, but it had a great cast, which made it worth it. It was a prequel to Lonesome Dove, following the adventures of Texas Rangers McCrae and Call. It was similar to Dances With Wolves in that it featured interactions with Indians and them speaking in their native languages. I liked the cast, the war scenes, the lovely scenarios, and the authentic western scenarios and loyal adaptations as well as the colorful characters. If you are familiar with the Lonesome Dove saga, you might want to check this out.** 1/2 out of ****

I am very impressed with the acting in Comanche Moon. Before I started watching this, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as Lonesome Dove. I couldn't believe how well the actors were chosen to represent all the characters. It blew my mind how well they played each role! This was in my opinion almost as good as Lonesome Dove. Its hard to compare any film to Lonesome Dove. If you don't make that comparison, I would give this a thumbs up. It was very entertaining! I don't post many comments on this site, but I just felt I had to get my opinion out there. Amazing! I don't want to go off naming every actor who was brilliant, because I would probably have to list every single one. My favorite was Steve Zahn. He hit the nail on the head playing Captain Gus. His mannerisms were perfect.

Parrots? PARROTS? I have been around this old earth longer than most and have seen nearly all the westerns that have have produced. Old West history is my passion. Comanche Moon is one of the most poorly produced, directed and acted stories I have ever seen. There was very little historical accuracy but then, it is obvious you were operating on a shoestring budget whichplayed a distinct roll in this insult to intelligence. I am happy that I TIVO'd this show. It was bad enough having to sit and watch the movie plus put up with the inane commercials. Once again, there was not one actor that came anywhere near convincing. I kept hoping it would improve as the three days progressed. WRONG! I'm ashamed to say I wasted 4 1/2 hours of what precious little time I have left.
