Movie Review: Serenity
As I am sure that most of my loyal readers have already seen this movie by now, I feel it is my duty to post a review. After watching the series (twice), I really enjoyed the movie. All the characters were as I expected them to be. The plot was enjoyable. I really like the way they explained the backstory for those who didn't see the series. A couple of my friends (who had not seen Firefly) enjoyed the movie, although probably not as much as I did. =)
4.75 out of 5 pirates.

I am a leaf on the wind....
Part of me is very saddened by the loss of Wash. He is definately one of my favorite characters and it sucks that he died. I can understand killing the Shepherd, since he was really only a minor character and he didn't really do a whole lot. It would have been nice to find out some of his back-story, but I can leave things shrouded in mystery and be OK with it. But Wash...he had some of my favorite lines in the show and the movie. =/
River is a badass, but we really knew that the entire time. She appears to have taken over Wash's job on the ship as pilot. At least she can bring something to the crew, other than resident badass.
I am easily one of many that would like to see Firefly return to the air, maybe on Sci-Fi or something.

Well yeah. But I would have liked to know a little more detail than that. =)
