Return to L.D. was great, Sep 18 2010

This review is from: Return to Lonesome Dove (DVD)
I watch all parts of the "Lonesome Dove" series and loved them all. "Return to Lonesome Dove" was great but not as good as the original series "Lonesome Dove" There are a few actors that were in the original series. If you liked "Lonesome Dove", you will enjoy this as well along with all the mini series that follow.

This review is from: Return to Lonesome Dove (DVD)
The movie was good and would have been better if I had watched it before Lonesome Dove. Lonesome Dove was, in my opinion, one of the best movies of all time. So, those are big shoes to fill. If you remove, Tommy Lee, Robert Duvall, and Dianne Lane, you removed the backbone of the film. Jon Voight did a much better job as Call than James Garner did in the Streets of Laredo but he was still NOT Tommy Lee. However, Barbara Hershey did make a much better Clara than Angelica Houston did in the original. She was the only poor acting in the original. So, that all being said, it was a good film but not Lonesome Dove.

The only LD sequel you need., Aug 16 2011
By Jesse - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Return to Lonesome Dove (DVD)
Return to Lonesome Dove wasn't based on any of Larry McMurtry's novels, but that turned out to be a good thing in this case. The official sequel, Streets of Laredo, was a terribly depressing read wherein McMurtry seemed to take out his own real-life psychological troubles on his characters. The movie pretty much followed suit. By comparison, Return is a far more satisfying sequel. It's not terribly creative, as a good portion of the movie involves Call driving a herd to Montana again. But what it lacks in originality it makes up for with that familiar Lonesome Dove spirit. It has several key actors from the original (not Tommy Lee Jones, sadly) and even the iconic Basil Paldouris music. And it delivers a much more fulfilling resolution to the stories of both Call and his son Newt in the end.This DVD is pretty much par for the course with the other releases. Video quality isn't spectacular, but it's much better than when Hallmark crammed the entire mini-series onto one VHS tape. I'm hoping this will eventually come to Blu-ray like Lonesome Dove did. But whatever the format, this is the only Lonesome Dove spinoff I'd wholeheartedly recommend.
