Comanche Moon description It's billed as "the second chapter in the Lonesome Dove saga," but Comanche Moon is actually a prequel to that much-loved 1989 miniseries. And while there's no doubt that it has some very big boots to fill, this three-part (on two DVDs, including bonus features) production is rarely less than eminently watchable and entertaining.

| Learning that CBS held on to this thing for a year, my expectations were low. And aside from the simple novelty of watching the events that lead to Lonesome Dove, there really is little to recommend in this final chapter of McMurtry's saga. McMurtry teamed with "Brokeback Mountain" partner Diana Ossana to adapt the novel into this six-hour film, and the result is a handful of powerful moments stretched across a throwback to the silly Western shams of the 1950's. The acting is mostly hokey or stiff, and Val Kilmer's Captain Inish Scull seems to have been played for laughs. Steve Zahn's Gus McCrae is something of a bright spot: He captures McCrae's loneliness, and humor, with just the right tone. Not only does Karl Urban's flat Woodrow Call make Tommy Lee Jones look like a clown in comparison, but we never learn just why Call can't seem to love. And worse, Urban and Zahn have no chemistry. The screenplay feels like one big reflection on Lonesome Dove, and its sloppy narrative blows across the wasteland of this miniseries like a tumbleweed. Surprising considering Simon Wincer returns to direct. Elizabeth Banks, as Maggie, is dull until she starts to cough. Linda Cardellini's Clara squeaks a lot. Ultimately, one can only wish McMurtry would have walked away after Lonesome Dove, and allowed that majestic masterpiece to sit alone. | |
