Deadwood: The Movie is the perfect ending to television’s all-time best show. ... Just as it’s to be expected, Milch balances such touchingly somber moments with instances of camaraderie, treachery, violence and absurdity.
Good men die. Bad men prosper. That’s life. What feels miraculous about "Deadwood: The Movie" is how much it captures the comfortable humanity in between those two extremes. It feels like the product of a creator who fully understands that this is his last creation, but even he refuses to end on an easy note. There can be closure without sentimentality.

Deadwood The Movie A-.

What struck me most were not the tragedies of Deadwood: The Movie, but instead its indelible joys: the humanity that refuses to be stifled and shut away, even in this hardscrabble existence.
For those wondering about the show’s charms, this is a nearly impossible point to work backward from. As a series capper, it’s a satisfying, loving end that fulfills old Deadwood’s imperfect promises while mostly avoiding the pitfalls of nostalgia.
Thirteen years on, it remains as fresh and compelling as it ever was and it now has an ending worthy of its revered name.
Milch's gift for raw frontier poetry, with Shakespearean soliloquies filtered through X-rated elegiac (and oh-so-satisfying) two-hour farewell. [27 May - 9 Jun 2019, p.12]
This was mostly one for the dedicated fan, who remembered all the old songs. Some things are better left undone.
a good stroll down memory lane to see the ultimate fate of deadwood, whilst its great to see everyone again i do feel this does not do much to extend the story and instead just seems like an extra episode. And if they were going to conclude things in this manner Hursts final play is poor.

Nostalgia was satisfied, however calling this a conclusion begs the question as to what people are shovelling. There is no conclusion, just a virtual repeat of the actions of the TV series and the death of a few major characters. The end result is still the pregnant expectation of the actual conclusion. I guess this is the negotiated acceptance level of the surviving Hearst family members that had the original show shut down. Hearst razing the entire town was supposed to be in the follow-up movie, which will never happen. So we waited all this time, for more of the same.

I 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 at the time, so much so, trixie dressed her in her own dress, wtf. 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.

This movie was literally the same plot as season 3! I thought there might have been at least one new character introduced to make things fresh but no. I hate the Hearst character and that he was completely just cut and pasted from last season. Very disappointing. No disrespect to David Milch as he goes through a tragic journey with dementia. I give this movie a 3/10 as he was able to still make it look and feel like Deadwood.
