Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

saltedpretzel-58732 Stick with it through the first season, just trust me. It gets SO good. And then weird, and then good again. And then weird again! And honestly I miss the days when shows were written by teams and all the episodes could be wildly different yet of a piece. Sarah Michelle Gellar deserved every Emmy.

cmc2392 BTVS did not receive the reboot because SMG quit the show. TVD and The originals have generated better teen- supernatural drama. The bad boys vampires are inherited from Irish and English (GOT). The problem we did not see real ancient history of British and Ireland. The show did not include family drama except free range children. Spike is everyone's favorite character resemble Lip Gallagher. Shameless and This Is Us have better female characters including more Irish American characters which resemble a little bit. Excellent creator Joss Whedon made Agent of Shield more paid tribute to BTVS. Avengers and Agent S.H.I.E.L.D have inspiring and owe Firefly and show. I believe Michael Bay, Ang Lee and and J.J Abraham made successful tv series showing more realistic human and family dynamic. The problem is that there are more family drama or serial drama. True Blood and TVD have better show have more realistic humans and suppower of vampiric speed. Michelle Trachtenberg did not have major role except season 5.

Anton Johansson The only spoiler here is from an episode that has nothing to do with the main story - spoiler tagging just in case. So, I've never watched a vampire movie or show before. The only reason I began watching this show was 'cause of my love for Alyson Hannigan - and even though season 1 didn't impress me much, it was a good introduction season and I'm glad I actually got through it.The main characters in the show are Buffy, Willow, Xander and Giles the librarian, who call themselves "the Scoobies". Several other people join and leave the gang throughout the show, but these 4 are the main ones of the gang. The Scoobies' job is to stop the vampires around their beloved town Sunnydale. This show basically has it all - comedy on a really high level, heartbreaking moments, amazing character development, entertaining action scenes, really good acting, and of course; vampires, demons, witches, and all sorts of monsters. If those kinda things would drive you away from watching - don't fret. In each season there's a villain with some sort of evil plan. The story lines of the villains are really good, so that should make you be able to watch past the fact that they're "unhuman". For the monsters that does nothing to progress the "villain story line" - they're usually featured as metaphors for what the characters are going through. Case in point - Buffy feels like she's growing old so fast, so the featured monster has a portal to make people grow old instantly. What I love most about this show though, is the dialogues. They're so unpredictable and feels so real. Combined with the extraordinary acting (especially from SMG) is what truly hooked me. Sarah's delivery of her lines in the last episode of the first season absolutely slayed me (pun intended), and I was so excited to watch the second season. Some other stuff I love are Buffy's extremely cheesy catch phrases, Xander's witty lines, Xander and Cordelia spitting insults at each other, Willow in relationships, Willow being nerdy as hell, and last but not least - Spike. A character introduced in season 2. God, he just might be the funniest character ever seen on television. The reason(s) I gave it 9 instead of 10 is 'cause there are some really predictable moments and cuts throughout the show, and sometimes the story lines just throws me off. That's all personal dislike though - doesn't make the show any worse. Even though season 1 might throw you off, the show only gets better. I hate to feed a saying that's been said so many times about this show - but really. Do not judge a book by its cover.

smetin As a kid, I remember Friday nights being "Buffy" night on sky 1. I didn't really understand the show back then, but I loved Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was pretty and I was a young boy...don't judge me! Anyway, with Buffy coming to celebrate its 20 year anniversary I decided to re-watch this series from beginning to end and boy was I in for a treat.This show is one of the few that will remain timeless. The only time when it feels dated is when it utilises CGI beyond "dusting" vamps, and possibly with some of the larger costumed monsters. Outside of those exceptions, this show hinges on a solid cast and excellent story telling. The characters are so diverse and shine in their own right despite the title being "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Over the course of the 7 seasons, each character is tested and has their own sub-plot, which generates an incredible development. Some stories will make you laugh, others will make you cry. Regardless, you truly develop a connection with each character and this is something that I feel is lacking in many TV shows today. The other obvious feature is the cast is very female-heavy. However, unlike some of the recent attempts (Ghostbusters...), it doesn't do it for the sake of it. The female cast is strong without trying to be feminist and that is a prominent reason as to why this show was so successful.What I also loved about this show is the sheer variety of the episodes. Some were very serious and dedicated to the plot. However, the next episode could have a completely different stand-alone premise that could be hilarious, cringey or even scary. It was great, and even the "worst" episodes (by their IMDb ratings anyway) were entertaining to me. I appreciated the variety and found it made it even easier to binge watch.Taken together, this TV show is one for the ages. It features a strong cast that portray a team of fighters that are (just) trying to save the world. Although the stories are very much fiction, the themes of friendship, teamwork and love are relatable. If you have not seen this show already, please do.
