The one thing that I really did not like in this movie was
the scene when Moss arrived at the hotel to wait for his fucking hot wife. The part between Moss talking to the chick lying by the pool and his death, they used a black fade away transition to another scene. At no other parts did they use the black fade away and it really ruined the experience for me. It seemed so out of place.
yup, this is was the only thing that bothered me as well
This is the major reason that most people did not like the movie.
what? i fucking love this movie, but for that 3 seconds i was bothered

The main complaint I have heard, from most people was, "I really liked it until the ending. Why wouldn't they show the most important part of the movie?"

i couldnt tell if it was sarcasm or not due to this being the internet
but the ending wasnt as great for me as it could have been because my mind was wandering off during the dialogue, and then it just ended

I'm not saying that I didn't like it. I loved the movie, start to finish.
I'm just saying that I know about ten people that would have loved the movie, if it were not for the ending. Not sure why the Coens decided to do it that way. I think they killed a lot of word of mouth sales by ending it like that.
Personally, I was too caught up in the themes and the overall point of the movie which was conveyed largely through stories the characters told. Tommy Lee Jones story at the end was very important and foreboding.
The acting in this was top fucking notch... Tommy Lee has done alot of movies but this one stands out. I loved his character.
The ending:
I got a Sopranos feel from the ending but it just seemed to work here... everything was pretty much tied up (everyone was dead) and the story had been told.

They are completely missing the fucking point.
It's supposed to be sudden and horrifying, just like real world violence and it's consequences. This guy was nobody special, and by showing Bell's discovery of it and his following sadness and hopelessness it sent that message directly home to the viewer. Bell was the viewer, in a way, he didn't want to think the world was going so bad but then he finds this. Instead of dramatisizing it and making Moss the hollywood hero, it just shows the repricussions of his actions, bluntly and plainly. He could not stop what was coming.

Nicely said.
My friends and I find it kind of funny how blind people are acting with this movie. It's extremely anti-hollywood in it's narrative style and most audiences have just been like "They can't do that! They're not allowed to do that!" without looking any further into it. But I guess that's to be expected.
It sounds like that part went a lot like it did in the book. It's kind of shocking in a way. I thought I'd accidentally skipped a few pages and had to re-read that section, but nope.

This was nearly word for word what I told my friends I took as the message of the film. At the end, Tommy Lee dreams of someone going ahead of him to prepare a fire, and feeling secure in knowing it was there - and then waking up. Real life is harsh, and one ex military antelope hunter vs. a gang of hardened criminals and a professional assassin only really has one ending, just as Javier Bardem stated ("You know how this is going to end, don't you?").
Yeah, I'm in the 'didn't like the ending' crowd. I loved the movie and thought it was awesome. The entire time I was watching it I thought "This is going to win the award this year", but then I hit the ending and it felt flat. I mean, I know what they were trying to say, but it felt like getting a really good fuck on and then not blowing a load.
I'm going to pick up the book. My girl told me the book ending was better and that while the movie was really true and well done, the book ending was more fullfilling.
I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't see anything in the movie that showed that
Moss was dead. He was at the hotel, and his wife was crying, BUT her mother was buried AND when Bell looked at the corpse it didn't show the face or any real up-close shot of it. Towards the end, I was hoping he'd pop out of somewhere and shoot Anton.
Apparently, he's dead in the book or something, but I'd like to think that the movie ended with the two of them hurt but not dead, continuing an endless struggle.

I think the hole in his chest and the massive amounts of blood cued it that he was dead. And then when Tommy Lee went to visit him in the morgue when he was on a slab sealed it.
The ending was my favorite part of the movie. I thought relating his dream was a much better cap to the film than if they had actually shown the event it seems to be prophesying.

It was after the fade to black where the chick tells him "Beer leads to more beer" and then the next scene has Tommy Lee coming to the scene and they show Moss on the ground all bloody.

Well, it's either vote for A) selfish bastard who wants the money, or selfish psychotic bastard who wants the money. A is the better choice.
I guess I just saw him in a better light. I mean, realistically, I think he did what most people would do. Well, what most smarter then average people would do.

Crying wife, distraught sheriff, Sugar with all the money.
No. There isn't a chance at all that it was anybody but Moss.
If this was anime, maybe, but he would have had to have fallen off a cliff or been in an exploding car or something.

That's what happened. And it's nasty.
Everyone I know that read the book, when they got to that point, had to go back and re-read it several times because there was just no way it happened that fast and to that person.
And showing Moss' final confrontation defeats the whole point of the movie, I think. It's just more mindless violence. That whole segment of the movie you weren't supposed to enjoy.
The ending was my favorite part of the movie. I thought relating his dream was a much better cap to the film than if they had actually shown the event it seems to be prophesying.
I love the dream Bell has, because the same dream has been echoed several times in Cormac McCarthy's other works, which is why I think that it was a rather appropriate ending.

When his wife showed up, he took off his hat and she started wailing because her husband had been shot.

I wasn't sure it was his body either. At first I thought it was one of the mexicans. Then I figured he had died because of the part with the sheriff but then the next scene was like her mom's funeral so then I was like well maybe her mom just died. Because they never outright said that Moss died.
I was a bit tired when I watched it so I will probably check it out again.

Yes. You are supposed to be shocked to your core, which unfortunately didn't seem to happen as people instead were shocked in a way that the narrative took a sudden turn and they weren't happy about it.

I want tits, damnit.
What was the second dream Tommy Lee Jones was talking about? I didn't catch everything he said.
Also, who was that old guy he went to see right before that? His former boss or something?
I liked it because the villain was not just badass, but almost reached the level of a force of nature or fate itself. Really cool symbolism.
