This board has inadequate spoiler tags, might wanna add a big huge bold SPOILERS AHEAD to the top of that post.
I've seen it though, and I pretty much completely agree~~~~~ Same good writing as the series, maybe a bit too action oriented, but thats the nature of the big screen. I understand Book dying, there was too much backstory to ever finish up in movies.
Wash though... what- the- fuck-
I walked out stunned over that one. Mal may be my hero, but Wash is the one who always had it figured out and kept things in a good light. Much of the fanbase dislikes that one, but I mean, Joss was always bad about killing characters in their prime as the buffy fans would have me know (never liked that series so much.) Glad you went and got a ticket.
