My thoughts on the movie---

It was better than I thought it would be, although still not very good. There were parts I enjoyed. Mostly Kristy Swanson. Although SMG is my preferred Buffy (at least until she became unbearable during the last two seasons) Kristy looks more like a vampire slayer (height and body type). I thought she did great with the role.

My main problem with the movie is that each character is in a different movie...which I guess would be the fault of the director. One actor is playing it as a straight-out comedy, one as a thriller, one as a drama. Takes you out of the plot several times.

But again, I went in with low expectations, and it was better than I thought it would be.

I LOVED the first movie because it was the first of it's kind. When I found out that there was a series being made on it I was ecstaic!! When I saw the series I was blown away!!

Now, this question is to Ripper, what did you find unbearble about Buffy in the last two seasons. Buffy, to me was sort of unlikable in the last two seasons. Her character DID change yes. I loved her in season 5 though. She e was awesome. a True Slayer if you ask me

Just to be clear, it was Buffy the character which I found unbearable during the last two seasons...not "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," the series. It may have even started before the final two seasons, but here are some examples that immediately spring to mind...

Remember her speech to Principal Wood at the end of "Lies My Parents Told Me"...

"If you try something like this again, Spike will kill you. More importantly, I'll let him. I'm fighting a war. I don't have time for a vendetta."

Really? Hypocrite much? What about when Faith took out Angel during "Graduation Day?" What about when Faith switched bodies with Buffy, and Buffy went all the way to L.A. because "she had a right to punish Faith" as she told Angel.

Her pathetic attitude during Season Six also got tiring. "Oh, how depressing. My friends love me, and they ripped me out of heaven." I did enjoy that when Buffy was trying to convince Evil Willow that she needed to save the world, Willow called her on her hypocracy.

The manner in which she treated Giles during Season Seven also bugged. Not to mention the poor strategy she employed which got many of the potentials murdered or injured, including Xander losing an eye. And for what?

When they kicked her out of her house, was I supposed to feel bad for Buffy? Because I didn't.

However, that all said, I did enjoy her in the series finale, and the smile she has at the end, when she realizes that she can do anything she wants. Still, it was hard to root for Buffy Summers during the final two seasons.
