Summary: 4 Stars
I watched Lonesome Dove last weekend during the 25th anniversary re-broadcast. It was, quite simply, the most amazing western I have ever seen. I rented Return to Lonesome Dove to see if it would answer a lot of open questions such as what happened to Laurie, will Call ever tell Newt he is his father, will July and Clara get together etc. Well, it did answer all of those questions, but it left more than it answered. The biggest problem I have with the series is how on earth did all these people know each other spread over such a huge country? Oh well, that aside it was a pleasing sequel and the acting was top notch. I am not normally a Barbara Hershey fan and was disappointed she took over Angelica Houston's role but she quickly won me over. Oliver Reed stole this movie in my opinion as best actor in the cast. Newt and the crew were all outstanding in their return performances but Rick Schroeder really shined! Reese Witherspoon was cute & charming but hardly believable in her role. The one I couldn't get past though, was Jon Voight as Call. Just didn't have that square set jaw, stubborn, deep in thought look that Tommy Lee Jones pulled off so well. He spent most of the movie looking like if someone yelled "boo" he would burst into tears. The violence was toned down considerably in this version as was the "poke" references though they did surface from time to time. I am looking forward to Streets of Laredo to see how on earth Pea Eye and Laurie end up together because that one really requires some mind-stretching but all-in-all I was pleased with this sequel to the greatest western ever made.Movie Review: So-So
Summary: 4 Stars
After watching the sequel to one of my favorite movies of all time, I'd have to say that I have many mixed feelings. Although not a terrible movie, it doesn't come close to the original. Something about this movie really bothered me, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was. I think it may have been mostly due to casting. After becoming attached to many of the original characters, I found it distracting to try and adjust to a new actor/actress portraying them. I did however like the character of Gideon and wished he had been in the original movie. I also enjoyed Reese Witherspoon and wished she could have been in the original as well. As much as I like Jon Voight, his performance paled in comparison to that of Tommy Lee Jones in the original. Hard to believe Jon Voight was the original choice for the original Lonesome Dove, huh? I also found the children that came along for the drive to Montana to be a distraction as well. All in all I'd have to say that it's worth a view. After all, the cinematography and music alone are breathtaking.
