WTF?? it was awesome but wtf!!

I thought it was VERY overrated. I typically like Coen Brothers films and I won't give spoilers, but odds are you know why I didn't like it.

First hour great, after that... not so much. Not bad movie, but not great for me.

Wilds

First two acts= Awesome

Act Three= Not so much.

Agreed. I'm a big Joel Coen fan too.

The Champ

Great movie. From start to finish..

I felt like the end of the movie was made by someone completely unrelated to the beginning.

I was so confused by the end with Tommy Lee Jones and the old guy that I had to have someone from here explain it to me.

I loved it, but my wife wasn't all that crazy about it. I thought the ending fit the entire theme of the movie.

Thank you.

I watched this movie a couple days ago and had the same WTF response when it ended. I can't believe it won for "Best Movie".

I watched "La Vie En Rose" last night, now that is a good movie!

I loved this movie because it wasn't the same typical shit hollywood has shown me over and over again. When I went about 1/3 of the theatre walked out 30 mins in and I couldn't believe it. The ending is really confusing but is really the only bad part of the film.

It's been a while. I'm going to rewatch it this weekend. But.....

SPOILER

I think he went to the hotel and took the money from the vent. He had noticed from the previous hotel that he used that as a hiding spot. It's not explicitly shown, but thats what I interpreted.

The movie kicked ass.

The Cohen Brothers are the best. I mean The Big Lebowski... come on!

From IMDB:

What happened to the money?

It is implied that Anton Chigurh wound up with the money. Since he wasn't part of the El Paso motel shootout, he arrived there too late. After the police activity died down, Chigurh sneaked into Moss' room and unscrewed the vent to retrieve the satchel of money. He knew this is where the money would be because he saw the track marks inside the vent of the Del Rio motel room, and knew that Moss kept it in the vent. When Sheriff Bell arrives at the El Paso motel, he sees that the vent was unscrewed by a coin, which Chigurh used in the previous motel, and he sees the track marks inside the vent (which showed that the satchel was indeed stashed there). Also, after Chigurh is involved in the car accident at the end, he offers the bicycle boys a hundred dollar bill, which also implies that he did wind up with the money.

(NOTE: In the book, Chigurh found the money and returned it to a third party. Like Wells said, he did have his principles!)
