Anyway, Bardem was great. The first hour of this movie great and then it was just one anti-climax after another. I left the theater feeling cheated out of a good movie.

I watched a downloaded version of it with terrible print and sound, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I thought Bardem was excellent as well, and his character is one of the finest on-screen villains of recent times. But like you say, it was very anti-climatic, especially the ending. It all seemed set-up for a more Hollywood type of ending, so it really took me by surprise.
I'll have to give it a second watch, hopefully while it's still in the theatres or once it's out on DVD. Even if I don't warm up to the plot, I should still be able to appreciate the character development as well as Roger Deakins' masterful cinematography.
I loved Fargo, and so far I still think it's the best Coen Brothers film that I've seen.
