Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: The Movie

After watching DQMW, The Movie, I thought of all the series episodes that led up to it. The movie was great - even for those who might never have experienced the six years of the evolving story of Dr. Mike and Sully. To us, the consummate fans, the missing factor was the gap, the three years of missing documentation of those years and a few missing cast members. Since CBS has given them a go-ahead for a second movie, I hope that it will get better promotion and become a real audience grabber leading to a string of 2 hour specials. Matlock and Columbo did it as did Cagney and Lacey.

For the nostalgics of series, a must see. Same atmosphere, actors, dramatic situations, moral lessons spirit of community.

For the others, good exercise to rediscover the flavors of Dr. Quinn series and the measure to feel same emotions.

A film about parenthood, lost of child, solidarity, gratitude and change of life. Not great but nice at whole.

I saw this film, and thought it was pretty good. Being a fan of "Dr. Quinn," I was pretty ticked off when they took the series off of CBS. The movie plot was excellent, it was fast-paced, and all turned out well in the end. Worth watching, especially if you're a fan. :)

Dr.quinn medicine is one of my all time favorite shows, but I couldn't help but be extremely disappointed. It was dark, sad, and just kind of ridiculous. They should have either done a better job, or stuck with the show

I did not really enjoy this movie or find it engaging, but my interest in the show waned sometimes too.

I was incredulous to aspects of the plot, which I don't want to spoil. I did predict where it was going, but was briefly distressed by where it might have gone.

I found the acting mostly dull, and I was disappointed with missing characters and other things from the series. I felt Michaela and Sully in particular were a bit cold, and they had unrealistic but not particularly passionate arguments. There were two brief moments I remember finding their performances compelling.

There honestly wasn't much dialogue... I would've have appreciated some more, to further explain certain situations. It was written by someone who worked on the series, but seemingly not towards the end of the show, which may explain why some things were missing. I think it needed more involvement from Beth Sullivan (she's merely listed as creating the characters)

Sidenote : Sully's hair must be a wig.
