Based on my opinion of the excellent series I wanted to rate this so much higher.
The performances are great, the production values high, dialogue and humour good and delivered well.
Unfortunately the plot, or what passes for a plot feels so contrived. Too much packed into 2 hours ruins the pace and impacts on the delivery. No subtlety, no flavour. It's not the Deadwood I remembered so fondly.
At the end I felt like I'd watched a Christmas Special of an average drama.

Blown away, this is my favorite tv series of all time and the best hbo has ever been along with The Wire. I was crying, laughing, shaking, swearing, and feeling so many other emotions throughout the movie that I am exhausted. This was the perfect send of, and every series who is looking to satisfy there fans should follow suit. True to the characters and true to the essence of Deadwood. Thank you for this show as there will never be anything else like it.
Finally, we returned to Deadwood! My family has been waiting for this for SOO Long...we felt like we were attending a family reunion after being away for 10 years...this is the most perfect ending to a perfect series...every once in a while in the movie industry, all actors, actresses, plot, scenery, director & writer come together to make an unforgettable, magical work of art....this is DEADWOOD. The characters have aged but the magnificent prose that each espoused years ago is still as familiar as old slippers....The end was very much like attending the funeral of a beloved relative....too bad there will never be another masterpiece like this show!
Oh how I missed this Shakespeare on the Plains. These rich, wonderful, profane characters raised swearing to an art form. HBO canceled this series waaay to soon. It was ahead of its time and had it come some years later, as the streaming series' became common place, it would have received a longer run and it's just due. But kudos to HBO for correcting its error with this full- length film, directed by Daniel Minahan, that wraps up the doings in Deadwood. All the old cast are back-10 years later, and the film takes its time giving all our old favorites the time they deserve. During its entire run, I cannot recall a bad performance and none are to be found here. Space prohibits complimenting all the performances, but I must send ovations to Timothy Oliphant, as Seth Bullock, and Ian McShane as, 'Al Swearingen.' They created magnificent characters that will live in our collective memories. Notable too: Brad Dourif, as 'Doc', William Sanderson, as 'E. B', Robin Weigart, as Calamity Jane, Paula Malcomson, as 'Trixie', John Hawkes, as 'Sol Star', and Gerald McRaney, as 'George Hearst'. Creator and writer, the late David Milch, gave us a labor of love and one of the great series of all-time. The movie is it's fitting epitaph.
One of the greatest series of all time gets a tired finishing film! I absolutely loved the program but this just felt forced! We should of got a final season, not an 1h50m of scattered stories which just seemed uninteresting in my opinion...
It was fun seeing the characters back together though
When I go back to watching the first three seasons again I won't be adding the film to the rewatch. Pretty disappointing.
