Buy This Item The Virginian by Warner Bros. Home Video  Available from Amazon  $14.98  on 11-26-2008     The Virginian leaves the state of his birth to make a new life for himself on the frontier of the American West. He falls in love with Molly Stark, a schoolteacher also new to Wyoming, and becomes the foreman of a successful cattle ranch, hoping to make good in her eyes. But he is forced to resort to violence when he must protect the ranch against the treacheries of a rival rancher and the betrayal of a former friend. Reader Reviews There are no words to describe how SLOW this movie was from beginning to end, but let me try anyway so as to give people a fair chance to avoid it and thus try and prevent their day/evening from being ruined: the film deals with the story of a schoolteacher from New England who meets a Virginian cowboy on the plains of Wyoming. The presence of Bill Pullman and Diane Lane did very little to alleviate the pain of watching this slooow and boooring mooovie... In addition, Diane Lane's character was way to pushy/bossy/feminist for late 19th century, making it rather unrealistic. As for the supporting characters, this film does not seem to be their thing, and subsequently they look like they are out of place. In relation to the plot and the dialogues, they are way beyond "below average." With the exception of the setting, (the plains are indeed breathtaking!) everything else is nothing to write home about. In conclusion, the potential for a decent movie was there if only the writers had the ability to... write! A shame really... Rent or buy at your own risk.
