fantastic flick. and I wasn't even that big a fan of the tv show. I'll start with the plussed
+ Acting. That was always my big qualm with the TV show. The characters at timed slipped in and out of their roles. here that wasn't the case as much. there were times when some lines seemed a bit forced but it was definitely a lot better.
+ Bringing the funny. This is definitely one of Joss Wheedons stregths. scenes are hilairious with both dumb funny one liners but subtle humor as well. there are points where you can start laughing and wonder why.
+ Respectful Deaths. Characters die. And guess what, it's kind of sad when they do. One dies as you are laughing. middle of a pretty funny scene and bam out of nowhere. bvut it's handled so well I'm almost willing to forgive Joss his crappy colossus resurection story. actually this same wscene was in one of his x-men issues in a way. just watch and you will see.
+ Reavers are scary as hell. yep they made them into something scary. we also get to find out just what the hell they are and why they rape you to death and war your skin afterward.
- The deaths. Yes it was handled well but they killed some of my favorite characters. very depressing at times.
- the bad guy's fate. He was just so sadistic, so evil, and such a bastard that his fate is somewhat dissapointing.
- bad timing on one-liners. This isn't buffy. spouting off one liners every few minutes causes a break from the tension and while most of them are great some of them just seem really out of place.
- The ass hole that was sitting behind me. ok what kind of retard brings their damned 5 year old to a PG-13 movie. and calling the kid 5 is being generous. looked 4 or even younger. started crying right in the middle of the flick. so what did they do. they just took the kid to the isle. you know what. your damn kid starts crying, take him outside to the hallway you stupid retard. not to mention before that the guy's cell phone went off and he actually answered it and started talking. GAH!
well that's enough for now. all in all it was a great movie and finally got my brain off the horrible flightplan movie.
