You know, if you had JUST made suggestions, I would have thought you were pretty cool. After all, some of those movies are all-time favoites of mine, But HOW DARE YOU imply that loving Serenity makes you stupid? So that movie is on my favorites list, big whoop. It's on there with Run Lola Run, Spirited Away, The Seventh Seal, Casablanca, The Seven Samurai, Red Beard... Ect. However, the feeling behind serenety is different! It's new and exciting, and I love it. It may not have the same feel as the series, but the newness of it makes it all the better

If you are a true gentleman and lover of films, you will retract your comment and be civil enough to discuss you oppinion, instead of calling everyone else stupid.

Prick.

Curse my inevitible ability to push 'play' when it keeps coming back to the top.

I've been avoiding this one because I figured it would be more of the stuff I don't like, and aren't we supposed to avoid trolling in the troll threads with the big letters and the firey stabbity death to fans? They use up bandwidth and

did somebody say band?

well I brought my guitar, and there is a bonfire, sooo.....

Dis my film
Say it's bad
Best darn time I've lately had.
I don't mind
If you can't see
Really loved Serenity.

I'll hang out
In this land
With a random happy band.
Thisisall
I can see
Joss will write some more for me.

I get annoyed when people put you down for the movies you like or for not liking the movies they like. Taste in movies is all subjective. Nobody can say that their favorite movies are any better than anybody else's favorite movies. I haven't seen very many of the movies on Howard's list but I haven't enjoyed the ones I have seen from the list. If I don't enjoy a movie, I don't consider it great cinema. All I am trying to say is, you may not agree with other's choices but you don't have to put them down because of it.

Seriously, who are you to tell us what to like!?! It's people who act all superior, like you're allmight, allknowing that really pisses me off!

I have family who watches like these foreign filmes that are supposed to be amazing, but most of the time they have no clue what the film was even about at the end of the day.

It seems to me that people like you are the ones that say "once a movie becomes entertainment it's not a good movie".

Serenity is one of those movies that contains all. A mix of genres, there's a little something for everybody. You have the obvious humor with the spot on lines, you have the action, the suspence-sceenes. There's a ton of drama and layers. There are amazing characterizations. Not even the villain is a typical villain-type.

So sorry that you didn't get a long pining, sob-fest. Have it ever occurred to you that a movie where you don't cry non-stop from beginning to end can in fact be concidered a good movie?

Besides... if you hate it so much, why are you even here...? Go bother someone else...

This is obviously not a well intended thread. It is an idiotic thread based on ignorance and poor reasoning skill. For one, not everyone who enjoyed Serenity thinks that it is one of the best movies ever made. I don't know of anyone who thinks that Serenity is one the best movie ever made. In fact, I dare you to show me five posts made by five different people saying that Serenity is one of the best movies ever made, not five people saying that Serenity is one of their favorite movies, five people saying that it’s one of the best movies ever made as you claim as is the case. Second, just because I enjoyed Serenity does not mean I am incapable of enjoying or have never watched movies like The Insider. Just because I liked True Lies does not mean I cannot appreciate the genius of Citizen Kane. Just because The Terminator is one of my favorite movies of all time, does not mean I think it is a better science fiction movie than 2001.
