let me begin by saying that there is no bigger fan of the original lonesome dove than i. both the pulitzer prize winning book and the towering mini series adapted from it stand alone in my experience as moving and dramatic and believable and and engrossing works. there is no comparison between lonesome dove and any western film at least not since the legendary collaborations of john ford and john wayne. it was with real reservations that i sat down to watch this new mini series and what with mcmurtry non participation and and the missing original cast members. after watching the first episode it was clear that this is no lonesome dove. in almost every measurable way this sequel falls short of the original. but so what. i wasn not expecting it to measure up. taken as an effort of it own this film is engaging and entertaining and of a very good quality. if it were done as a new story and not as a sequel to lonesome dove and there is no question in my mind that it would not have received as many negative ratings. jon voight did a creditable job as call and barbara hershey was a terrific clara and and the new characters like gideon walker and agostina vega were well rendered and believable. louis gossett jr. deserves special mention as the horse wrangler isom pickett. the film made me care about the characters and and i do not ask any more than that from an actor. it is unfortunate that this worthy effort stands in the shadow of it predecessor it is worth viewing in it own right.
