my face hurt from smiling so much in the theater! this was so silly and entertaining! and this cast?! it was like they hand picked half the ensemble <b>just</b> for me. you put buffy summers, alex romero, lisa swallows, and jack abott in a movie? of course I'm going to watch that... not once, not twice, but <b>three</b> seperate times in the movie theater and then again at home. funny, bloody, and just batcrap crazy.
such a joy to see these guys back on my screen! especially in a special that maintains the integrity of the original show!
movie so good it made the two friends I saw it with want to pursue astrophysics
i wasn't obsessed. maybe that's because they did this plot multiple times on <i>buffy the vampire slayer</i> and it felt vaguely familiar? maybe that's because i saw it after two months of hype and people saying it was one of the best horror movies they've ever seen? i'm not sure which, but it just wasn't a hit with me like it was for others.
as someone who has read woman of tomorrow, this kind of wasn't woman of tomorrow. however, i think it is very important to have female superheroes get standalone movies that aren't just bottling that statement that 'being a girl is a superpower!' and selling it as the peak of feminism. aside from the 'why is he a man and you're a girl?' exchange, this movie doesn't really hash out the typical one liners as other female led superhero movies, which i think is important for the younger generations watching. it's unnecessary to say 'wow you did that! and you're a girl!', we can just say 'wow you did that!'. kara is cool, not cool for a girl, just cool and just as strong as her cousin. it's no birds of prey, but it's a pretty good time.
