E.B. Farnum: It is no disloyalty to be a realist, Richardson. We are mortal. One hopes for the best. One perseveres. One re-evaluates constantly. One is an asshole if one doesn't. Loyalty expanded is not loyalty betrayed.

I watched Deadwood: The Movie the other week and I gotta say it wasn’t quite what I expected.

Since we waited so long for this to happen to finish off the show finally after it’s cancellation all those years ago, I was expecting a spectacle but instead it was in fact quite lacklustre.

To have Al Swearengen back should have been epic but instead he was sickly and dying from all the drink and did in fact die at the end. That was a sad sight to see. I wanted to see Al be great again. Be badass again.

Calamity Jane also kind of took a hit character wise and was very soft and not as badass as she once was. She was in love and it was cute but I miss her being badass. She did shoot one of the hitmen in a badass way but that was about it.

Seth was still really the only badass one along with Trixie. 

Bullock is always badass though, as the most badass Sheriff in all the land. He just doesn’t give a fuck and I love that about him. He’s like you commit a crime, I’ll get you no matter what and that’s awesome. He’s my favourite character along with Al. He got the guy in the end as always! He’s on fire.

Timmy did look quite a lot older now with his hair greying. I have never seen it so grey. It did actually quite suit him though, I liked it <3 Hot as always <3 

Hearst was back and as was the story of how they faked Trixie’s death in the show and he killed off. So there were a lot of needed flashbacks for those of us who didn’t have time to rewatch the show again before it aired. I last watched it on DVD years ago but didn’t rewatch it all again, like half which I’d missed, well I think I missed the first season and watched from the second on TV.

Hearst had Utter killed off to get his land to build telephone lines and they spent most of the movie trying to figure out who killed him after taking in the wrong person at first and some hitmen coming so they wouldn’t tell the truth.

It was cute seeing Trixie and Sol get married at the end but then Hearst came to try and get her arrested for attempting to murder him all those years ago but they had no juristriction. Instead Hearst got arrested by Bullock and then beaten up when he was taken outside by the general public! Woah. Then he got taken to jail.

Bullock went back to his wife and it snowed! pretty <3

Trixie was with Al when he died and tried to speak the Lord’s Prayer over him and Al being Al says “Let him fucking stay there” while she holds his hand and he dies. That was sad. 

Also, according to Wikipedia wasn’t how the real Al died who by the sounds of it was murdered in a street in Denver like his twin not long before. I’m not sure why they decided to change the way he died. He obviously would not have been ill at that point like in this so he could have been strong and better like normal.

I dunno, it did disappoint me. It could have been worse I suppose but it also could have been better. Not a lot seemed to happen throughout, my dad said it seemed like an extended episode. Which it did. It should have been explosive and fun and great to see all our favourite Deadwood characters back together but instead they seemed to have lost their edges and mellowed sort of. 

It just wasn’t what I waited 13 years for tbh. 

I’m also sad Powers Boothe died before it was made and got written out when he was originally supposed to be in it as I loved his character in it too.

There’s a lot of people disappointed by it on IMDb reviews as well and I’m right there with them. I wouldn’t give it 10/10 like some. I would give it like a 6 maybe. That might just be for the nostalgia factor too.

There should have been more E.B. Farnum too, I always liked his character.

Alma came back just as a plot device to Seth could remember his time with her basically too so was pretty underused and wasted.

I wish something more exciting had happened, like I dunno. Maybe like a great train robbery would have been more exciting and a murder spree after, who knows. We got a murder mystery that wasn’t that hard to figure out.
