Deadwood: The Movie

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.

Politicians have a bad wrap for good reason. HBO wraps up the series Deadwood in a good way with a story that is more fact than fiction even if the characters are not based on real people. Almost all politicians are in it for themselves. I was a bit surprised that this particular dirty politician named George Hearst, (played superbly by the usually lovable Gerald McRaney) came into town without any of his other family, such as a wife, brothers and/or sons or daughters who would also be corrupt.

This film has a great supporting cast all who were given an opportunity to end the Deadwood series fans curiosity as to what happened to tehm all? The only knock I have on Deadwood the film was the film was too short. I imagine the screenwriters and editors left a bulk of the wanted material on the cutting room floor to satisfy HBO's need to reduce the film to a watchable 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Thanks HBO for giving the series true closure. Thank you Timothy Olyphant for showing us the audience there is honor and righteousness amongst lawman of the west.

I give the film an 8 out of 10 IMDB rating. Great cast!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to HBO, I doubt this was overly profitable but you made a lot of fans happy instead. Great ending to a beloved series.

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!

Although I did enjoy the movie, I did so mainly because I loved the series and was happy to revisit with the characters after so many years. But, I have to say that I was disappointed. As for many Deadwood viewers, I loved the Swearengen character. McShane really stole the series. That's why I was disappointed in a movie where he's reduced to a character completely lacking the personality shown throughout the series.

And while I have no complaint with the character, or actress, the amount of time spent on Calamity Jane was completely out of proportion relative to her role during the series.
