Cons: Some scenes too drawn out, perhaps a touch overlong

Pros: Tight writing, acting, effects--accessibility for newbies...
Cons: Killing off a few favorite characters, limitations of a two-hour flick vs. television series...

Cons: no big names, a little too witty at times

Serenity is one of those films that makes you want to punch somebody - not because it's bad but because it's good, and almost nobody saw it. In an industry whose content is not only marketed like heroin, but protected from competition - with the muscle ...

Pros: Good acting and engrossing story
Cons: Climax gets too apocalyptic

Back in the fall of 2002, there was a little show on FOX called Firefly created by Joss Whedon. It never did well in the ratings and was pulled about half way through the season. I'll admit I was a casual fan at best of the show, watching ...

Cons: I'm still worried that Firefly virgins won't appreciate it as much

Cons: some characters underused, some lame action scenes, the ending kinda runs down, etc.

Been meaning to write this review for some time, but time stood in the way. I watched this film a few weeks ago, got highly recommended from my brother, said it was some sci-fi film that came out a while ago and was pretty good. That's enough for me! ...

Pros: acting ensemble, script, direction
Cons: plot/story; duration

There is a non-detrimental problem with "Serenity" from the first frame. Even though the film's story is virtually straightforward and forthcoming, non-fans of the TV show the film is based on will find it hard to get into the material. However, based on ...
