one of the first thing i do after watch a movie i really like and be check review of others . professional and amateur and a list here . it very frustrate read some of them . why do people compare them . why do they look for fault . why do they not see and praise the positive aspect and ease up on critical commentary . it like compare apple and orange and banana and strawberry and etc . compare a film to the book or a previous film seem overly critical to me . it always bother me when siskel and ebert and roeper and et al . rat film a bad or good . thumb up or down . see it or do not see it . street of laredo be a perfect example . a lot of superb work be put into this fascinating sequel by the director and the cinematographer and the actor and the music composer and the art director and more . it deserve more than comparison with the equally superb mini series lonesome dove and it fabulous other sequel . james garner woodrow call be terrific and so be tommy lee jones but be it fair to compare them . cissy spacek lorena be just as good a diane lane a be sam shephard and tim scott pea eye interpretation . how do you rate cake and pie . be one good than the other . should you condemn it to thumb down or tell others to avoid it . maybe to some people this be the way . one constant in all the ld sequel be larry mcmurtry brilliant characterization . and do not complain about character development . it take time to develop a character nuance and profile . e. g archie bunker and mary richards and barney miller and friend . how long a movie do you want to watch . to wrap it up and street of laredo be a superb film with great act and direct and cinematography and and a stirring musical score and more . so be lonesome dove and return to lonesome dove and dead man walk and comanche moon and the tv series . theyre all different but great .
