Serenity Review Spoiler

Not doing a Firefly Spoiler Review simply because it fourteen episodes of Joss Whedon's masterpiece the needs to be watched by everybody, my words can't do it justice it's so good. Now for Serenity the movie was pretty much Joss Whedon chance to end the Firefly series, which is why this movie was so bad. Because it was a movie in theaters changes had to be made for mainstream audiences which i personally hate. First change is with the crew it like until Inara, played by Morena Baccarin, showed up all the characters development was reset. Second change was this is a movie for fans so characters like Hoban, played by Alan Tudyk, and Kaylee, played by Jewel Staite, got too much scene time cause there is a point in the movie that they get off the ship and i thought to myself why? The two people that run the whole damn ship just got off when your in the Reaver territory great idea captain. This movies major problem is that the characters are over seen and under used when in Firefly you wanted to see more of every character and no character was under used but used perfectly in every episode they're seen in. Moving on to dislikes, the first is Wash's death while Book's death gave emotion and moved the story along Wash's death made me think why i mean if the point was to make Zoe mad they could have just had the Reavers take one of his leg or both of them. That the end of the movie Zoe was still mad but it seem like none of it was directed at Mel the captain the man who gave the order that indirectly killed Wash. Too much River, River's crazy worked in Firefly cause she didn't have a lot of scene time so when she did something crazy it felt out of the blue even though she did something ever episode. In Serenity Mel felt more like a war vet still holding on to the war rather then a smart-ass torn between the war he lost and present day, also i didn't feel the cold shoulder he gives his crew to stay emotionally detracted and  the respect form his crew has for him because of all the tight spots he get them out of. In Firefly i liked how the Reavers were never shown as if they were space boogeymen. With the Reavers as boogeymen it made me feel like a helps kid again with the boogeyman wait for me in my closet or under my bed. Lastly the movie felt like it dragged in places, there are predictable moments the suck the emotion out of some things basically if you watched Firefly you'll feel like the smart kid in a slow class. It terrible because the real problem of the movie is not enough time with too much story.

My Rating: Just watch Firefly again and cry that FOX cancelled it: 5/10
