I would rate this movie probably an 8. It will go higher if they delete/change the "Oh come on" scenes.

My favorite scene is easy, it is the bar scene with River. The crew go there to meet some bad guys and River walks up to a TV showing some Anime cartoons. In the cartoons there is embedded a message which triggers Rivers training. She starts beating some ass in there. What makes this scene great is the flow of the fight scene. There is no, film this guy getting punched, ok now this guy gets kicked, ok now cut to this guy getting karate chopped. you can tell it is 10 minutes of straight fighting. In addition, Mal realizes whats happening and he will be next. So he runs to the locker where everybodies weapons are locked up. He is trying to get his weapon and she is just about ready to get to him. This is when Simon shuts her down with the key word. Awesome...

The special effects were missing, except for one glorious scene.l This is a very cool scene when Simon breaks River out of the Allaince facilty. he poses as a high ranking official with the Allaince and he is carrying a walking cane of some sort. So when the timing is right, he drops to one knee while slamming the bottom of the cane on the floor. When this happens a burst of energy expands from the cane tip immobilizing anybody it reaches. Because Simon is below the enery level from the cane (he was kneeling) he was safe. Cool sound effect and cool special effect. All other scenes you could see the wires and occasionally a sign which read "space battle"..pretty funny.

The hiest is in the beginning when they rob a bank in the town of Lilac. While they are robbing it the town gets hit by Reavers. This is when they need to make a quick get away. Didnt go well, they only got a little bit of money from the vault.

For the life of me i cant remember. What i do remember is that I was shocked when it happened. They were all standing in the common area around the dinner table. And that Mal just kinda held his jaw, while Jayne stood between them. They were just kinda arguing and Simon suddenly cold cocked him. i thought oh man mal is gonna make him pay for that....and then nothing?

So unlike Mal. Strange.

This is the first spoiler thread I've come across that actually tells any. It's cool of you to let us make our own decision as to whether we want to be 'spoilt' lol Most people keep saying it's better you don't know.
Well, I do know some now, thanks to you, and I know I will still enjoy the movie.
So..what else can you tell us? hehe
I'll just wait for someone else to ask the questions. Can't think of any right now.

Your welcome...I just figure that the thread is labeled "Spoiler"...so who ever doesnt want to know they wont come here. I actually am one of those people who dont read spoilers. But i appreciate that people do. Well since i have already seen the movie why not share?

Beleive it or not, I was an extra in the movie and was pretty bummed that i ended up getting cut from the movie...lol

Maybe Joss knew i would share..lol

Looking at all the spoilers, I still think the movie will be a little different than what people saw. They know what an organized fan group they have, and that word will get out from previews. To truly give us an enjoyable experience, and I truly believe Joss is for his fans, we will have surprises, hopefully happy ones. I can see Book being written out simply because it seems Ron is a busy dude. Wash, there is too much he can still do, and they will continue to need a crack pilot. JMHO.

I'm not crazy about the hover craft either. I remember the one from "Heart of Gold" and it seemed like something that rich people would have like laser guns. I want the guys to stay poor. It makes their successful exploits all the more impressive.

I'm adding my thanks, too, MeltingMan. You've provided a great deal of insight that is usually missing from the reviews (generally of the "Rah! Rah! Rah!" variety, not that there's anything wrong with that!), and some great descriptions.

I fully expect there to be some changes when Sept. 30 rolls around (and Middle Son just got a job at the local MegaPlex, so we'll be going for free! If he still works there by then! Rah!), but I love knowing stuff beforehand, it makes me feel....special. Heh.

....And what I wouldn't have given when I was 11 to have been spoiled for Star Wars....such a coup over my friends....ya know?

The hubbert is going non-spoiled....well, mostly, anyway. So I feel I'm one step ahead of him, where he's usually been three ahead of me up till now.

Anyway. Thank you!

Mal letting Simon punch him without retaliation may be unusual but it seems to me to be entirely plausible and understandable if Simon had just cause and/or Mal felt he deserved to be smacked. Putting aside whether or not you think Mal acted out of character, do you think Mal had it coming?

So, you are one of those who don't read spoilers. hehe

Well, all the more shiny that you'd answer questions. I can totally appreciate that point of view too, but not so much the holier-than-thou attitude of some. :P

I hope your character gets put back into the movie, Or in the DVD. You must tell which one you are then.

Can't wait for Sept. But don't know if there's a movie to wait for here. *sigh* It'll be back to searching for more spoilers then, I guess ,till I can get to Australia or the DVD release. Will you still be around then? lol
