Best Western miniseries of all time.  "Let's go on and go if we're going."

Worth a watch, but overrated, IMHO.

People kept going on and on about how great a movie (or mini-series) it was so I finally devoted 7 hours to watch it and when I was done I was pretty disappointed.  It wasn't that it was bad.  It was that it was extremely over-hyped.  If I had never heard anything about it going in I probably would have liked it more because my expectations wouldn't have been as high.

Again: IMHO.

I never watched it becaue I had thought it was a soap opera made for women (the name and the fact it was a mini series).


Then I watched it and thought it was awesome. More gritty than I would have guessed.

I thought the series was epic. You should watch all the film adaptions of the books if you can. As hard as it is to believe the books are actually way better then the movies. Every dog I've had gets named after a Lonesome Dove character.

Nobody comes to a good end in those books.

The series is good, but a bit depressing, though.

Ya I think by the end of Streets of Laredo you have two characters that make it semi ok.

This guy is on top of things.  It's worth watching just because of Diane Lane.  It's pretty good too.

Pea Eye and Lorie were the two I said make it out semi okay. By semi okay I mean being kidnapped, raped and walking to the edge of death .

Loved the series. Books were good too.

The sign they had? With the Latin writing?

In the book, at some point, a guy was educated enough to read it and walked off laughing. But nobody else in the book knows what it means.

All sorts of little gems like that.

Yes, buts its a sad movie.

The Prequil with Karl Urban and Steve Zahn is pretty good as well. They nail Jones and Duvall's mannerisms  perfectly.

I remember watching it when it was first aired on network TV. I can't tell you how many times I've seen it since, but it was enough that I pretty much wore out a VHS copy.
