Deadwood: The Movie (DVD)

Deadwood Movie: Essential viewing if you watched Deadwood the TV Series. Watch TV Series Deadwood FIRST. Great, high-budget movie. Deadwood TV Series and Movie made by same people, same actors. BEST WESTERN EVER MADE. Deadwood TV Series plus Movie is best viewing of anything I have watched in years.

Just a nice "remember Deadwood" movie. Loved the series and this movie did not disappoint. A+!

Very entertaining. Watched twice

When Deadwood was canceled after three season it came as a surprise because there was no real conclusion to the series. The movie takes into account the passage of time that occured. Seems a little rushed in places but I think everyone knew this was the last shot at it. A fitting end to a great series.

New disc is sealed and was the one I ordered. I am pleased with my purchase.

First, the seller/shipper was stellar. I will purchase from them agsin! The movie casing arrived in excellent condition and on time!Now, the movie though...ugh! I LOVED the series. The movie, only 10 years of story had past, yet all but 2 characters appeared as if they were in their late 60's-70's. The makeup was HORRIBLE! The film just left me... dried up! Ha!

The movie wasn't half as good as the show.

I binge-watched the series last year as a late comer to it. What incredible television. On par with The Wire, Season 1 of True Detective and The Expanse. The series needed at the very least another two seasons or a season and maybe a 3 hour movie for proper closure. Alas, bean counters and lawyers (spitting sound) vs the actual creator killed the show in mid-stride.The movie: As a stand-alone movie, I think it actually kind-of works. However, this movie was made for the fans and for the creator of the show himself, David Milch and his crew. On the positive side, many wonderful things have already been said about the movie so I won't reiterate.CONS: We all know that Western frontier life was hard on most people. That's a fact. I wish the way some of the main characters were aged had been dialed back a bit. It's a distraction as the movie begins but it goes away after awhile as you get used to it. Funny thing is that Calamity should have been aged MORE... Trixie's reaction was completely illogical but I understand it's only a two hour movie so you have to move things along. What Americans and the world for that matter think of as The Old West only lasted for a relatively very short period in time. So if the movie takes place 10 years after the series was unceremoniously ended, the town's infrastructure should have been more advanced. Minor quibble here.The only special feature of the DVD is a short and very bitter/sweet clip on the making of the movie. You'll see what I mean.The biggest CON of the DVD: Technically, the video quality is just OK, just barely OK. That sucks. I understand that the Blu Ray version is nice quality. Fair enough. The DVD should have been better quality visually. It's too grainy looking. I'm not talking "artistically". Hence, the 3 Stars.When I was a young man, I was a bit of an A*s Kicker. I'm almost 67 now and I guess I'm getting soft as I get older. If the ending of this movie doesn't strike a chord in your heart, there is something wrong with your emotional health or you are trying too hard to be "tough"...

I enjoyed both these showsProduct and Delivery as promised

It is a well-known fact that, for many devotees of the Paramount HBO television production of Deadwood, the story ended abruptly, and unsatisfactorily, at the end of the third of the three TV series. Several strands of the story were unresolved. The writer of the series, David Milch, being determined to correct that situation, wrote the script for a movie version of the story's continuation.So, ten years after the conclusion of the third of the three TV series of Deadwood (2006), the movie of the same name appeared. Most of the actors who were the leading characters in the TV series reappeared in the movie version. The basis for the movie, and the connection with the television series, was the 1889 celebration of South Dakota’s 10th anniversary of statehood. Deadwood is a frontier town in that state.This is the event, therefore, which opens the movie. One of the celebrants is George Hearst, a villain of the TV series, now a US senator, and, along with the likes of Calamity Jane and Alma Garrett Ellsworth, has himself returned for business reasons to Deadwood to purchase land owned by a man whose killing he had ordered - Charlie Utter, the second husband of Alma Ellsworth.The story of Deadwood - The Movie, takes off from this point, and we are gradually reunited with the stories of the town’s diverse range of characters, e.g., the cunning, manipulative, foul-mouthed saloon owner, Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), the sincere and upright Sheriff, Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant), the wealthy, twice-married, widow, Alma Ellsworth (Molly Parker), Trixie, the long-suffering, but lovable, prostitute (Paula Malcolmson), the town’s over-worked, but devoted doctor, Doc Cochran (Brad Dourif), E.B. Farnum, the loquacious owner of Deadwood’s main hotel (William Sanderson), and the calculating villain, Senator George Hearst (Gerald McRaney). This is not to ignore one of my favourites characters, the irascible Mr. Wu (Keone Young). Few of the original actors are missing, but the years that have elapsed are etched on the faces of the characters.Of considerable interest for this reviewer is the extra feature of this excellent Blu-ray DVD, which focuses on the decision to produce the movie and the underlying philosophy behind the three TV series and the movie. As David Milch explains, Deadwood (the TV series and the movie), as well as offering an interpretation of the relationships between historical, and other, characters, is primarily a reflection on how change occurs over time. This it does to perfection.Starting from its days as a gold rush settlement to its incorporation as a town in a new state, the alterations to the town’s structures, the importance of the local characters, the abiding tensions between residents, the development of local institutions and, of course, the revelation and explanation of personal relationships, Deadwood - The Movie brings to a denouement, and a generally satisfying conclusion, a view of what the TV series had brilliantly developed - change over time.Aficionados of the TV series will not want to miss Deadwood - The Movie. As well as providing a fitting conclusion to the award-winning TV series, the movie presents narrative drama with its own appeal and raison d’etre. The end of the movie may not be the ultimate end of the story - as far as some of the major characters are concerned. Indeed, there are some surprises in character outcomes. However, the end of the movie is a point at which we, the viewers, can happily allow the characters to fade into the Black Hills of Dakota, or walk off into the western sunset.Presented with NTSC Blu-ray picture, clear sound, and good diction from the actors, as well as a relatively easy set of instructions to follow for the different features available, the DVD merits a definite 5* award and is highly recommended.
