Don't Believe the Hype

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This a great movie. It is one of the scariest movies of all time. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.6 it a good ratting. But this is such a good movie 5.6 is underrating. This is a great movie. I give 10 out of 10. It his a true horror classic. See it. It is a great movie. The show it good. This is a better. See it. It is a classic. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say. This is a great movie great movie great movie great movie great movie. If you like good horror stories then you will like this movie. It is a great movie.

As a huge fan of the BtVS TV series I recognize that the movie is a completely different creature from the show.But the show is in here, working hard to rise to the top. If you're willing to pay attention, I think a game can be made of "What's Whedon's?" There are scenes where the dialogue seems clearly intact Joss Whedon (particularly the one-on-one scenes between Buffy and Merrick). And if you listen closely to Pike, Xander Harris speaks. All the elements of The Master vs. Buffy from BtVS Season 1 are in the film, including the sexual subtext, although in the movie it is much more overt, if incompletely explained.Even major visual elements that Whedon would use in the TV show are in the film. The film's training sequence could have been used in the TV show. And perhaps most significantly, Buffy in prom dress and leather jacket are icons in both the movie and the show.And its easy to believe Kristy Swanson was as much Whedon's choice as SMG would be six years later. They don't so much look alike as they do sound similar and have the same presence. It is interesting to me that Swanson's portrayal is never quite as vapid and vacuous as the character is meant to be. Always there is a sense that earnestness and sincerity are lurking. Very much like SMG's portrayal of Buffy as inherently serious but wishing she were more about good times.For me the movie's major flaw is in the editing. I have the sense that much of the plot and character development got left on the cutting room floor. Characters often seem to be picking up conversational threads the audience is not in on, especially the aforementioned sexual tension between The Master and Buffy, and Merrick's conversation with The Master as Merrick is dying. The other problem I have is that the dialogue, especially among Buffy's friends, is too too (irony intended). I saw the movie during its theatrical release and remember thinking that the actor's deliveries were too sincere for me to believe the "pop speak" was meant to be a parody. I have the sense that this was one of Whedon's issues with the changes Fran Kuzui allowed to his script; there's an excess of slang that suggests Kuzui was trying to "talk to" the target audience and she wound up patronizing them.Buffy the movie has small measures of the things that would make Buffy the show so very great. In my opinion it is not the mess many BtVS fans hold it to be. In a way, fans are fortunate to have the two versions. It gives us a chance to see Buffy as envisioned by two directors, one of whom is also the creator.

Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is the quintessential valley girl cheerleader. She and her friends are all clueless. She is approached by Merrick (Donald Sutherland) and told that she is the Slayer. There are vampires in the world, and there is a slayer who fights them. When one slayer falls, another one takes her place. It is Buffy's turn to be the Slayer. She is joined by a slacker outcast Pike (Luke Perry) in a fight against the powerful Lothos (Rutger Hauer).This is most notable for who wrote the script, Joss Whedon. Although he definitely has disowned this with all the changes to his script. It has a funny co-starring role from Paul Reubens. The style is lacking. Kristy Swanson has the looks but not quite the attitude of the valley girl exactly. She always seems a bit too bright and too serious for the clueless role. It is definitely a very light sarcastic take on the vampire movie.

Buffy is an air-head cheerleader who is chosen by a guy named Merrick to fend the world of Vampires.When Merrick first informs Buffy that she is the "chosen one," she thinks he's crazy, but then strange things begin to happen.First, Buffy's friend Cassandra and many other kids form her school turn up missing and are later found "dead" with bite marks on their necks.After many other strange occurrences, Buffy then realises that those bite marks were made by vampires, and that they really are out there.This film has a lot to answer for, Namely SMG's career. I have never seen a full episode of the TV series, and never will, but I went to see this at the cinema as a child because it was near Halloween and it was about vampires.The fact of the matter is, the film is boring, and only Swanson and Perry look interested in being in the movie.Sutherland pops up every now and again, looking like a poor mans Father \Merrin, and as for Rutger Hauer, he looks ashamed.Yes, Swank, Affleck, and Arquette are in the movie, but they have hardly anything to do.Swanson is the saving grace though. She is sassy and everything you could want from a dawdling Slayer.I just wish that the rest of the cast could have shown interest.
