Movie Reviews of Dead Man's Walk
Movie Review: "He'll live to bury you."
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all ,it is worth taking the time to get the sequence sorted out.
Lonesome Dove, was the first written in 1985 ,and took place in the the 1860's when Woodrow was at the height of his career.It was the followed with a sequel in 1993,and took place in the 1890's and when Woodrow was in the twlight of his career.Then Dead Man's Walk was published in 1995,as a prequel to Lonesome Dove and took place in the 1840's when Woodrow was about 20 and in his early days as a Texas Ranger.
The main story is about an adventure ,a few years after the Alamo,when a force of about 100 leave Austin Texas,heading to Santa Fe ,to take this area from Mexico.
What we see is McMurtry at his best with great storytelling,amazing characrer developments,with and brutal action with all sorts of opposition along the way.The story is packed with action and one suspensful and surprising event following the last. Typically,when McMurtry gives us an epic,he starts off with a lot of people and characters of every description;and we witness the crowd being whittled down one by one in one gruesome scene after another.In the end, there are vew standing.
Gus and Woodrow survive and become the main characters in the other novels.
This novel had a great storyline,but not the high profile actors we see in the others.The scenes and photography are outstanding and you get a good picture what it was like in the 1840's when the west was being wrestled from the Comanches, Apaches and Mexicans in Texas , Mexico and New Mexico.
Personally, I prefer the movie versions these novels to reading the books,which I have also done. However;there is so much packed into the 4 hours of this movie ;it needs to be watched more than once.
Movie Review: The views of the men of Lonesome Dove
Summary: 5 Stars
My views on the gentlemen of lonesome dove.Woodrow and gus?i did not know there were so many parts to this movie,I am an die hard fan of the one with robert duvall and tommy lee jones. and only knowing this movie i never heard of dead mans walk and others as well.i was a huge fan of gus and really look up to him,but after i seen this movie and seen the pain and suffering that Woodrow went threw and how dedicated Woodrow is in his life as an ranger in and out,my respect for woodrow has grown very strong,now i see Wodrow different and with great respect,as for gus, he is more bark rather than action. i have tons of photos of robert duvall sign by him in the movies he has made, but now, well i want to take them down and put the history and images of Woodrow and study all i can on him. my love for woodrow is really strong and i will see woodrow in different eyes every time i seee him now and gus, well, yeah i still like him,but i would not fallow gus into a battle,i just dont trust him to stay and fight to the death and woodrow,well he is a man of honor and respect and thats the kind of man i would like to die next to and be proud to be his friend. I really love this movie and really change me on how i see lonesome dove stories now, so if you never seen this, PLEASE GET IT, YOU wont regret it thats for sure, this is one hell of a movie one of a kind, thanks folks,

Movie Review: Good DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I have already written a review on the VHS version of this great film. I will limit my remarks to the DVD version. Having totally enjoyed the film on VHS, with the exception of the poor quality video on the extended play tape, I found this DVD a refreshing improvement over the VHS. Put out by Hallmark Home Entertainment and distributed by Artisan, both the video quality and the stereo effects are high above the extended play VHS version. Even for picky viewers, this DVD is a great improvement over the VHS. This is a 2 disk film with the #2 disk being much shorter than the first. It seems there would have been plenty of space to insert more special features, something this version is certainly lacking. We only get a couple of short comments from a couple of the actors and thats about it. Even so, if you wish to buy "Dead Man's Walk," I suggest you spend the extra money for the DVD and forget about the less expensive VHS version. The video quality alone is well worth the money.Movie Review: western saga

Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a patriotic American and when I saw another review saying this is "leftist" I just had to say: NONSENSE! The character's of Gus and Woodrow are younger here than in the original Lonesome Dove and they have a lot of growing still to do. That's the point! That's what makes this one interesting! This isn't political propaganda. It's an entertaining Western.
