Worth a watch as a a Christmas special kind of thing, but that's it. The dialogue feels somewhat forced and out of character on several occasions and the theming is pretty simplistic. Not even close to being up to the show's standards. Still glad I watched it though, it has a couple of cool scenes.

I loved it, but I think it helps to have been a fan of the series.. Can't get enough Al Swearengen!

I didn't expect to like this film as much as I did, but this truly is a masterpiece that wraps up the Deadwood story in a great and unforgettable way!!

I watched the series at the encouragement of a friend. Thought it was decent. Maybe 3.5 / 4 stars. A bit soap opera like for me. Was very disappointed how it ended; seemed they expected to be back for a fourth season that didn’t happen. Felt the movie tried to bring closure, which it did. However, though it’s 10 years later in the movie it seems a lot longer as the actors have aged (or appeared to age) so much. Some of the story seemed contrived also. Another reviewer said it was strictly for the fans, and I don’t disagree. It tries to hard at times to wrap things up.

This movie is a complete waste of life! A disgrace to the Western classification. A tired overused plot, utilized once again for some narcissistic writer that enjoys listening to their own tasteless and senseless banter! I would love to slap the 1:50's of my life that was robbed from me right out of the writer's fat head! What an absolutely dreadful and miserable movie that just did not ever get any better than terrible!

DEADWOOD the series has gone down in my books as the greatest television show of all time. It takes its time to ruminate on how such savage and cruel people who have lived such savage and cruel lives could band together and balance out their separate furies enough to build something great. Its the building of civilization on the micro and macrocosm, a Shakespearean tale of love and mercy and death. DEADWOOD: THE MOVIE takes all that and wraps it all in a nice little bow to send us off down that dark road we must all travel alone. It's a striking tale, one told with such an eye for prose that it stands heads and shoulders above its counterparts. This movie was everything I could have ever hoped for. Fucking phenomenal.

This movie is only for people who wanted a different ending to the series. It does not stand alone, since it assumes so much context from the series (although it includes brief flashbacks). It shares much of the implausibility of the series. Unfortunately, because it hews to at least some historical facts, it can't have the ending people wanted. One odd thing is that although it supposedly took place only 10 years after the end of the series, almost everyone looks substantially more than 10 years older.

Mediocre western. Not terrible but not great.

Couldn't watch it all. The profanity was way over done. The use of the f word all the time sickened me.

If you love the series, don't watch this. The writing is not up to scratch. A lot of the character's behaviour no longer seems true to character. The edit is weird. Ill paced. The audio is mixed badly, so much so that it's often impossible to grasp what characters are saying. The actor's voices have become more croaky with age, naturally, but the sound design seems to lean into this. It's a travesty that the show was cancelled and couldn't reach conclusions in its own time, but this is a shit-heeled attempt at wrapping things up.

This is 'fan service' in the same way that an open casket funeral is 'fan service.' It really just makes me miss the series and fills me with regret at the tragic shortness of it's life. Damned studio hoopleheads.

A Disappointing Return: Reviewing the 'Deadwood' Movie's Attempt at Closure - "Deadwood" enthusiast disappointed with the movie's execution and story - Expresses initial excitement for a return to the beloved show's universe Issues with the Movie: 1. Dialogue and Writing: - Noticeable difference in the dialogue compared to the original series - Lacks the memorability, poetry, and wit of the original exchanges 2. Inconsistent Character Developments: - Several characters' roles changed without proper explanation or justification - Examples include Doc Cochran's unresolved health issue and E.B. Farnum's newfound secret passageways - Calamity Jane's uncharacteristic act of shooting a man dead 3. Lack of New Storylines: - Movie spends time reintroducing characters rather than delving into new plotlines - Tension between the camp and George Hearst is reignited but resolved too quickly 4. Unresolved Issues with George Hearst: - Hurst's brutal and powerful nature remains unresolved, leaving viewers where the original series left off - Contradictory situations involving Alma Garrett's land and Hurst's actions raise questions about character motivations 5. Al Swearengen's Characterization: - Al portrayed as a mere shadow of his former self, lacking the formidable presence and wit from the original show - Ambiguous ending suggests Al's potential demise, leaving viewers uncertain 6. Treatment of Fan Service: - Flashback clips feel out of place for loyal fans who already know the characters' stories - Movie seems rushed and lacks tight storytelling due to its desire to provide closure for fans Conclusion: - Movie fails to bring anything new to the table, feeling like a compressed rerun of the original series - Disappointment stems from unoriginality, lack of character development, and unresolved storylines - Despite watch value for fans, the movie falls short of expectations for a show of its caliber

I thought it was ok overall, but then I didn't watch the original series to know all the backstories as it seemed incomplete in the end. It was still worth watching, but I'm' not sure how realistic it was for the time period as some of it seemed out of place.

Fails at tying up most of the loose ends of the show. A huge let down.

It's alright but was sort of unnecessary and is a little less interesting than an average pair of episodes from the show, which had a better ending in my opinion.

I wish they would have done more besides the movie, somebody should pick up the series where it left out. Or a sequel kinda thing to it. This is one of the best HBO shows ever made & it's a tragedy that it's only 3 seasons. Easily it could have made it 15, 20 seasons !

I had trouble enjoying the movie. I loved the Deadwood 온라인카지노추천 series and while I credit the film-makers with their passion to bring the characters and town back to life, it may have been 15 years too late. The realism of the setting and characters place in life was unbelievable, seeing as how practically all of them were still stuck in the quagmire of all those years past. E.B. Farnum is still the mayor?? Samuel Fields is still bumming around town? The doctor hasn't died of lung cancer yet?? None of the buildings or streetscape has been upgraded or rebuilt (except for the Grand Central, which is now brick). The story makes sense if the movie took place a week after Season 3. Another problem is that the show relies too heavily on fan service. All the characters are back (except for those actors who have died of course). Aunt Lou is inserted into the story just to deliver a baby. Con is now a reverend, for some reason. Sophia is back in town to do nothing. Harry Manning is only brought back so he can un-characteristically betray everyone. Why is Samuel Fields still here, wasn't he trying to get to California? It's unbelievable that so many of these people would have stuck around after all these years, and robs the movie of realism. The characters feel contrived, just to milk the nostalgia of the show. It's a reunion of these people only because the fans would remember them and clap. The use of flashbacks to cement home what happened in Season Three and force feed us movie character motivations was distracting, lazy, and unnecessary. I can appreciate the difficulty in bringing this all back after so long. The unexpected cancellation of the show after Season 3 was a tragedy, yet I may be one of the few who feel that Season 3 had a good resolution. The impulse of the Deadwood movie to conclude the Season 3 storyline by bringing back Hearst as a villain and resurrecting his assassination attempt ala Trixie was forced and uninteresting. I think the movie should have diverged entirely in its story, bringing in a new villain and plot line, maybe dispense with some of the returning characters and focus on Swearengen and Bullock as story anchors. The writers could have taken Deadwood in a new direction instead of relying on nostalgia and member-berries to engage us old fans. A standalone story in the Deadwood universe that did not have a reliance on Season Three would have been my preference.

I enjoyed watching the series. This had all the 'charm' of the series. I enjoyed it.

Fans of the series will not be disappointed by Deadwood: The Movie. Every returning character's representation is written thoughtfully, meaningfully, and provides a sense of finality that the series finale was lacking. Characters, and Deadwood itself, changed enough in the intermittent times to make a revisit worth the trip. However, the plot here is familiar enough; the conflict is essentially nearly identical to the storyline of Season 3, but with more gunplay and the stakes heightened. Fans will be glad to know that this time there is a finality and a proper sendoff to a charismatic western period piece.

A bit too sappy, a bit too predicted but criminally too little Mr. Wu! #HengDai! #BakGuilo
