    After a long and promising wind-up, with characteristically gorgeous Milch dialogue, the movie reveals itself to be a shocking non-event that hews closely to the formula of a “very special episode” of a venerable series. There’s a wedding, there’s a funeral, and there’s a murder that’s telegraphed far advance, which effectively drains it of the impact of the show’s most upsetting and challenging acts of violence.

    This was mostly one for the dedicated fan, who remembered all the old songs. Some things are better left undone.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I didn't realize how much I wanted this closure until I had it. David Milch hasn't lost a thing, and contrary to all my worries, knocked it out of the park. Beautiful character evolution, especially for Bullock (Olyphant truly came into his own after being the relatively weak link on the original run), Swearengen (a beautiful parallel to Milch's own life and the story of an old man looking back and wondering what he was leaving behind in the world) and Trixie (finally found a happiness and something to truly live for).

    A fitting conclusion for the greatest piece of television ever produced. 10/10 and easily on my list of ten favorite movies.    … Full Review »

    I wasn't feeling it. Deadwoods "ice zombie kidnapping" shark jump was Swearengin murdering one of his girls in cold blood to save Trixie, andI wasn't feeling it. Deadwoods "ice zombie kidnapping" shark jump was Swearengin murdering one of his girls in cold blood to save Trixie, and Trixie, Sol, Charlie, and most importantly Bullock just all kinda being alright with it. It was an unforgivable choice by the writers which, for me, threw the whole Deadwood universe off. That and loading up on combatants in the last episode never to use them, left me feeling as if my guts were ripped out when it was announced it wouldn't be coming back. This movie was trying to polish a turd that last episode laid, and I wasn't convinced.… Full Review »
