Lonesome Dove Customer Reviews (61 - 63 of 81 Reviews)

Fantastic Old West Entertainment
The greatest gift of this 1992 masterpiece made for television series is the development of the relationships of the main characters. They did a superior job in casting Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duval, Diane Lane, Danny Glover and Robert Urich in the lead roles. I don't even like Anjelica Huston but in this movie she is great. The dialogue is clever, insightful and reveals the pioneer way of life. You truly fall for the characters in this heart-felt western drama. And don't forget Rick Shroeder! I have watched Lonesome Dove more times than I can count and now need a DVD version. Enjoy!

The greatest western mini-series ever made!
This is one great film.Great acting and great cinematography.The audio and video quality of this DVD is very good.I had this movie on VHS for years,but the DVD version makes watching it that much better.

The best TV miniseries ever made.
No other miniseries has the combination of epic sweep and perfectly realized performances that Lonesome Dove has. A few British miniseries--"I, Claudius" and "Brideshead Revisited"--may come close in the acting department, and "Streets of Laredo," McMurtry's own sequel to Lonesome Dove, may capture some of the original's sweep and intensity. But Lonesome Dove is winner and still champ, and the main reason for it is Robert Duvall's performance as Gus McCrae, surely one of the greatest performances ever recorded for posterity. The rest of the supporting cast--Tommy Lee Jones, Anjelica Huston, even Robert Urich--is a hand-and-glove match for Duvall, and all of the actors more than do justice to the superb screenplay. I love the characters--and the actors who played them--so much that I find myself taking almost a familial interest in them; when I read of Diane Lane's success in "The Perfect Storm," or Rick Schroder's in "NYPD Blue," I feel happy that Lorie and Newt are making their way in the world!
