Summary: Entertaining western
Comment: A wonderful prequel to 'Lonesome Dove', the characters in this moving western continue to deepen as they struggle to hang onto love, land, and a harsh way of life in a toilsome part of the country.

Summary: Comanche Moon: It's Own Movie
Comment: When I first saw "Comanche Moon," I too compared it to "Lonesome Dove," (in my opinion, one of, if not the best Western movie ever made). But watching it since, I've learned to watch it for what it is as it's own movie, trying not to compare the actors in "Moon" with those in "Dove." You know what? It's a pretty damn good cowboy movie.

Summary: THIS WAS REALLY BAD
Comment: I watched this with my dad and we both came to an agreement; this was terrible. I felt like I wasted 3 days waiting for something to happen that was grasp my attention. Nothing did!
What the hell was the point of this besides wasting my time?
This shouldn't be bought--it should be given away for free.

Summary: GREAT!!!!!!!!
Comment: Steve Zahn was excellent as Gus. The whole movie was good. I watched it and then I went back and watched Dead Mans Walk and then watched Lonesome Dove. I hope there will be another movie after this one to tie up with Lonesome Dove. I just love the characters they are so real.

Summary: Second installment of a trilogy, don't miss it
Comment: Back in the 1840's the State Texas was known as the Texas Republic, a harsh environment where several cultures clashed: Apache and Comanche, Anglos and Hispanics, for the most part, Mexicans. The battle over land, water and resources was furious, the spirit of these men as they set out to conquer, indomitable. The Texas Rangers were members of a law enforcement agency that investigated crimes from murder to political corruption, tracking fugitives and forging most important events in Texas history.
In their early days, the Texas Rangers protected the frontier against Indian attacks on settlers, then serving as scouts, spies, couriers, and guides for those wishing to settle in the West. These men were trained to aim, fire and reload their weapons from horseback, an amazing development from the usual technique of dismounting before shooting at enemies and reloading.
This is the second installment to a trilogy centered on the lives of two men, Augustus "Gus" McCrae, played by Steve Zahn and Woodrow Call, played by Karl Urban.
Comanche Moon presents the Rangers, now serving under an eccentric character played by Val Kilmer, working to protect the territories against the Comanches. Buffalo Hump, played by Wes Studi, and his son Blue Duck, played by Adam Beach.
We see the men falling in love, with Call playing the role of a quiet, introspective and isolative man who does not know how to understand and therefore, handle women, get involved with a prostitute who bears him a son. McRae falls in love with the store owner's daughter, Clara, but because his style of life is not to be depended upon, they never make it to marriage.
The movie brings romance, adventure and a view to life in the west. Don't miss it.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Texas Rangers Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrae pursue three outlaws, Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump, Comanche horse thief Kicking Wolf and a Mexican bandit king. Now in their middle years, they also struggle with their personal lives, Gus with Clara Forsythe, the love of his life, and Call with Maggie Tilton, the young prostitute who loves him. Meanwhile their partners-in-arms Deets, Jake Spoon and Pea Eye Parker help the Rangers protect the advancing western frontier from the defiant Comanches who are determined to defend their land and way of life. Prequel to Lonesome Dove, and based upon the novel by Larry McMurty.
