I have to agree... sequels are never as good as the original. However.... I loved Dead Man's Walk. David Arquette as a young Gus, he did a bang up job. I just wish they had used Arquette and Miller in Comanche Moon. Jon Voight was to be the original Call,in L.D. but turned it down, and Duvall was originally suppose to play Call, at least it was the part he read for. My memory is getting old but I believe that was the way of it. I'm just so glad they have brought back some of the originals from DMW. Long Bill is the same and one of the other cowboys too. I'm not too impressed by the men playing them in this one. I agree the the Gus character has the hand movements down pritty good. But it's impossible to improve on perfection, when you've got Duvall's shadow hanging over you.
Duvall is my favorite actor. I just absolutely love him. Open Range was the bomb too. I wasn't too blowed over by Broken Trail.
