i and like many folk and believe the 1989 epic lonesome dove be one of the best western ever produce and maybe the best . and and realize that most sequel ( in this case a prequel ) be certain to disappoint and my expectation be low . comanche moon meet that expectation with it marginal directing and acting and poor casting and frankly and a lousy script . lonesome dove create western hero of captain mccrae and call due to incredibly strong performance by robert duvall and tommy lee jones . prior to live in lonesome dove and we believe they bravely fight to rid texas of bandit and savage indian during their rangering year . if i have only see comanche moon and i would think these two bonehead be a couple of incompetent and cowardly idiot . in lonesome dove and call and mccrae supposedly chase blue duck all over texas and never manage to capture or kill him . in comanche moon and a shot to call boot heel convince him to settle down and raise cattle . there wasn not a decent fistfight or gun fight in the entire miniseries . the best punch be mccrea sucker punch inez scull and a funny scene but out of character for mccrae . where be mccrae wit and charm . clara love for mccrae and a drunken and unshaven slob and philanderer be completely implausible . and maggie love for call and a dispassionate and sullen loner and defies logic . the cinematography be excellent and superior to the original . credit go not only to hd technology and but the cinematographer . the comanche moon miniseries be good than anything else on tv for three night and but sadly that not say much .
