A little disapointed....

I saw Serenity last night. I liked firefly. didn't love it. I am not one of the die hards that thinks it was one of the greatest shows ever concieved and that people should be burned at the stake for cancelling it; but it had it's moments. So i went to see the movie.

What bothered me right off the bat was the change in the back story. Especially after all the hype i'd heard up to last night was about how the creator wanted to keep the movie so true to the series. Then they were in obvious conflict with two of the actors. Either because of money or the two not agreeing with the script they both ended up getting paid (a lot probably) to do one or two days of filming each at one location just long enough to kill their characters off. Weak.

Besides that, the over all plot was pretty good. I'm not sure I agree with how the girl got her mind fixed instantly by watching a video, but i'll let that slide.

Overall it is a lot like highschool girl. You know how it is supposed to go. She knows how it is supposed to go. But in the end, the final product ends up being quite a bit underwhelming and feels forced. Not quite what all your buddies had hyped it as.

I would have preferred if Book went with Mal to the backup and met the assassin, at which time you find out that Book's real job was as the trainer for these clandestine opperatives and then he and his protege have a grueling fight in which Book ends up being killed and Mal has to avenge his death. Plus there should have been a larger part for the dinosaurs.
