i have my reservation about watch the return to lonesome dove after see and enjoy the original so much . without tommy lee jones reprise his role a woodrow call or anjelica huston a clara and i figure it just wouldn not seem authentic enough . upon view return i can honestly say it a worthy successor . the actor really make the show with jon voight and rick schroder and and oliver reed all preforming at their very best . i admit the story might not be quite as engross a the first and but return definitely have it share of excitement and capture the romance of the old west in a way that few other film have . anyone who still have reservation can rest assure that the return to lonesome dove succeed in capture the feel of the original and will not disappoint . do yourself a favor and check it out and ol gu would be proud .
