Well, I liked this movie a LOT. Turns out I wasnt alone, either and this review pretty much pegs it. I guess just about everything I wanted to say, Orson Scott Card can say better. J

I highly suggest everyone see this movie.

I absolutly loved the show Firefly that this movie is based on. And yes The movie just absolutly ROCKS. Joss Whedon is better in my book than All of the A list writer and directors of Sci-Fi today. Go See this movie.

It's a great movie.

I re-discovered the show not too long ago and saw the movie on Friday. I love the show and all in all I liked the movie, but I think they got a little kill-happy when it came to the cast from the show.... :icon_conf

Made it really that much more believable IMO, and the movie much better.

::SPOILERS AHEAD::











Granted, but when Book died, it fit the story and created a situation that advanced the story by making the Captain more resolved to accomplish this task. When the reavers killed Wash, it was completely random. It didn't give him a chance to prove he could also fight - like they did in the episode 'War Stories'. I mean c'mon.......he flies them through the battle, crash lands, inserts funny joke and immediately gets killed. It was like a kick to the balls and didn't feel like it fit the movie. If he'd died while fighting the Reavers with everyone else, it would've been a bit more believable, or at least more true to the character IMO

This is neat. Want to know what character you would be in FireFly? http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=79387

PS: I don't vouch for this thing's accuracy, it tells me I am 100% the Operative.

You scored as Hoban 'Wash' Washburne. The Pilot. You are a leaf on the wind, see how you soar. You have a good job, and a stunning wife who loves you (and can kill people). Life is good, which is why you can't help smiling. Now if you can just get people to actually listen to your opinion things would be perfect.

Hoban 'Wash' Washburne 94%
Shepherd Derrial Book 81%
Zoe Alleyne Washburne 75%
River Tam 75%
Capt. Mal Reynolds 75%
Inara Serra 75%
Jayne Cobb 63%
Kaylee Frye 63%
The Operative 50%
Simon Tam 38%

Edit by GrimJack - You suck at the intraweb.

 

[lanky189]

well..that OBVIOUSLY..didnt work

im the Hoban guy..now all i need to do is see the movie.

 

[Squid699]

you'll regret being Hoban 'Wash' Washburn if you see the movie.

according to the quiz i'm 89% Kaylee, but 75% The Operative...........WTF?

 

[swaq]

Definitely one of the best movies of the year.

 

[SupraMario]

yea i didnt understand y they killed him, it kinda reminded me of the matrix, were they kill trinity and i was like ... WTF?

 

[lanky189]

thanks grim..what did i do wrong? i just cut and paste..

 

[Squid699]

yea i didnt understand y they killed him, it kinda reminded me of the matrix, were they kill trinity and i was like ... WTF?

from what i heard the movie was based upon Joss Whedon's original plan for the second season for the show. Obviously he did some changes over the years, but Wash was probably doomed to begin with. I'm not upset that they killed him so much, as HOW they killed him.....flying talking talking crashing talking DEAD......wtf

 

[SupraMario]

yea, true trinity did have some fighting before she was killed, but Killing wash was a big WTF, i mean they seemed so much of a part of a team then they killed his ass, you cant kill the funny scared shitless pilot. i mean now their little group is broken, rain(sp?) the docs sister, is the one i thought would have died, you sacrafice yourself because they are looking for you not the other way around.

 

[Squid699]

river, you mean? nah..the movie was about her....you knew she'd kick ass and take names and she'd be more a part of the crew at the end even from the beginning. it seemed like the captain had more of a chip on his shoulder this time around for some reason, though.....

 

[SupraMario]

yea, he didnt seem to be as funny as when i watch the show, and yea i ment river, had a brain shit.

[CPT Furious]
