Dead Man's Walk Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
adonis98-743-186503 In this prequel to "Lonesome Dove", two young men join the Texas Rangers unit that's on a mission to annex Santa Fe. Although i felt that both David Arquette as Augustus McCrae and Jonny Lee Miller as Woodrow F. Call brought nothing to the plot and were kinda forgettable and uninteresting this Mini-TV Series packed great performances by Keith Carradine, Harry Dean Stanton and Edward James Olmos. It also stayed true to this old westerns and Cowboys v.s Indians which was something that reminded me a lot of my childhood i think that Episodes 1 and 3 had the most impact on me they were very interesting because Episode 2 kinda drugged many times but other than that pretty good series and people who like this sort of types of films or shows or even grew up with westerns won't be disappointed (7.5/10)
Julius Daniels What a truly wonderful miniseries.I laughed, I cried and I even saw a British Lady riding nude through the desert. It scared the dickens out of the "savages." There was never a dull moment. From the time the series began to the end this band of Texans lost comrades but kept up the fight. How many ways can you kill a Texan? This picture shows you. Seriously; I really great epic to be enjoyed on DVD...all 270 minutes of it in one sitting.
Ralpho The author of the book "Dead Man's Walk" also wrote the screenplay for this film, which is obvious when one sees how closely the film adheres to the book. Although I have read the book in question, it didn't curtail my enjoyment of the movie. One notices how closely the young actors portraying Gus McRae and Woodrow Call (David Arquette and Johny Lee Miller) resemble older versions of the same characters as actualized by Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. My guess is that making that resemblance a fact was of paramount importance to the filmmakers, as the primary audience for "Dead Man's Walk" has already seen "Lonesome Dove" and would be disappointed if Arquette's performance didn't recall Duvall's and Miller's work wasn't reminiscent of Jones'.Although it may have been primarily a marketing decision, the strong resemblance between young and old Gus and Call works for me and, oddly enough, binds the two miniseries together.May we now see a miniseries based on McMurtry's second prequel, "Comanche Moon"?
dinky-4 Larry McMurtry seems to be turning "Lonesome Dove" into a cottage industry, but this "prequel" works fairly well on its own terms. It's mounted in good-looking style and has a first-rate whipping scene wherein Jonny Lee Miller, stripped to the waist, is tied to the back of a wagon and given 100 lashes, the first 50 by one man and the second 50 by another. When that first lash hits Miller's bare back, you not only see it and hear it -- you FEEL it!
