Movie Reviews of Lonesome Dove - The Series
Movie Review: Lonesome Dove - The Series
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked the Lonesome Dove movie series so much that I read the books as well. It also caused me to read many of the classic western novels, Zane Grey, Louis Lamour, Terry C. Johnston and others. I now consider myself a knowledgeable novice on the subject of westerns.
I rated the TV series highly, although I have not yet seen them all, largely because there are so few westerns being made now. For the serious western movie buff, this series has good and bad points. The good points are that it is a western and the guns appear to be correct for the times. Some of the bad points are: one, the stories are short for the one hour TV format and do not really build (although many of the characters are there for each show) as they did the movies. Second, everyone is too clean, even when camping. The battles with the bad guys are a bit unrealistic - not at all like the battle with Blue Duck in the movies. Lastly, the series seems to be primarily a love story set in the late 1800's. This is not the theme I am looking for when I watch westerns.
But, if you like westerns, and I do, this series is far better than most of the old TV westerns and better in many respects than the old classic western movies. You can't go wrong to buy this one.
