Pay no attention to the few naysayers posting here. An absolutely wonderful show. If you have never watched it, two suggestions: first, TURN ON subtitles. The dialogue is a delight, but the archaic language will make you say "What?" Better to freeze the action to better understand the humor and turns of phrasing. I have watched the series some 4-5 times and still laugh out loud. Secondly, give it 2 or 3 episodes, as it seems to a newcomer to start slow. Trust the ratings. At the end..where HBO cancelled the series... you will, in Al Swearengen's words, "wonder what the c#$@*kers were thinking..."

5 star. Please watch the series first. The movie can stand alone, but you will be the poorer if you do not watch the series for context and the love of the characters.

Day old bread. It satisfies, but not as good as the orginal.
