the crappy reviews given by viewers on amazon?....for serenity and I seen some reviews on blockbuster.com too that were bad.
The people that gave this movie 1 or 2 stars really pissed me off, they omg...I dont know their reviews just make them sound like they are completely stupid people and very shallow too =(
I love the long 1 star reviews where they go through the entire movie and pick out parts they dont like, I just love reading how TOTALLY WRONG they got the story in this movie and characters names are incorrect...one guy calling them reappers???? LOL its just hilarious.
I wish...these people didnt exist =(
The only ones I respect that compared it to firefly and therefore the lowish score they gave it, and if some of u are on here...thats cool too.
But for someone outright say this movie is horrible...well they should be shot.
Sorry, I just had to vent...I hope more of u noticed the horribly stupid feedback reviews some people are giving, its saddening =(

I know exactly what you mean. I read that review where the guy called Reavers 'reapers', and I had to laugh - how many of the characters does he think are the Shepherd? Apparently Shepherd rescued River and Shepherd fought the Operative at the end! What movie was this retard watching? Hopefully people who haven't seen the film and read that review see that this guy is a wierdo and 0 out of 40 people found the review useful.
There are other amusing things in there as well so I thought I'd post it for everyone to read:

by some twat called James:
I really wanted to like this film after watching the trailer on t.v., but as the film went on, I could not help but kept rolling my eyes. Here are things I did not like: SPOILERS!
1. First five to ten minutes of the film was great (where the girl gets rescued). The beginning looked really great with the girl being in a dream like state and talking about the difference between Alliance and the Independents. Then she gets rescued from the chair she was strapped in. After this, the film went really corney. As the bad guy looks at the film, he asks the doctor that he has too much of pride and that's why he failed. He then tells the doctor to look at Shepard's face and ask why he successeed. When the doctor did not know, the bad guy says Shephard has "love". At first I thought that he meant Shepard was in love with this girl, but he meant that Shepard was human capable of love.
2. The so called good guys kept going from place to place, and back to same place to place running away from things. The majority of actions you see in this picture was different space ships kept caught on fire because they were shot at.
3. I did not like the character of the girl name River. She is an aneroxic looking girl with psychic power/super martial arts power. She basically walks around looking all depressed, being very quite, and at times just whine, whine and whine. But, then sudddenly she would for no reason at all runs super fast and does all kinds of martial art tricks. Towards end of the movie, when the good guys were all trapeed in this room when the Reapers were coming in, she jumps out of the doorway where they were coming in, and when she leaves the room the door closes, she then somehow ends up doing martial arts all by herself killing off 100 or more of the reapers. They all get killerd by her--are you kidding me?!
4. The story of how reappers came to be. The female doctor says that she and some scientist formulated some chemical to make people unviolent, and they somehow sent gasses into where the whole population were. 90 percent of the populations for some reason slowley died because their plan did not work. But, 10 percent of the population became extremely violent and went around killing people in diffenrent planets. Now, how come the 90 percent of the poplulation that died looked normal, but the 10 percent who survied look like monsters from the Zombie movies? Why are they orange in color? How come they don't kill eachother off just the normal looking people? In the movie, they don't seem intellegent, they don't speak to one another--their simply became monsters. But, somehow they managaged to all come together and form an alliance, and then they agree to get a space ship to sail to other planets to kill normal looking people. Give me a break!
5. The dialgo in this movie was just horrible and people just remdomly get togher with one anothe, when they have not even shown why they were attractd to one another. Here's an example of one. Towards the end, when good guys were in this room and about to fight off reapers that were trying to come into the room, they all pretty much think they are going to all die fighting them. When this River's brother turnes to a girl and says something like I regret not knowing you better. The girl turns to him and says "you mean sex?! He says "yes". She then says "well then I'm going to live!" What kind of lines were they. If a guy says that to a girl, don't you think that she would be offend that he was interested in having sex withNOTIFY: N | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

I found James had a poor grasp of English so I have translated:

Duh, dar was da man talkin', he didn't kill nobody, he wasn't carrying two big guns. I don't understand plot, stupid, what's the point in people talking?

Why didn't they just throw the Dillithium matrix into over drive and force a cascade reaction through the bus b buffer thereby wiping out the Alliance threat with a tachyon cascade. That's what they do in Star Trek.
I mean obviously a small unarmed transport vessel can take out an entire Interstellar alliance single handedly in the real world, it's stupid they can't do it in a film.

Some small girl with emotional issues. Why do I care about that? Arnold Swazzenager doesn't need that sort of crap in his film for crying out loud.
Oh yeah and a girl winning a fight, what’s up with Tosh Beadan, doesn't he know all women are good for are cooking and cleaning and screaming for the hero to save them?

What's a chemical? Everyone knows people go crazy because they're possessed by daemons, what's chemicals got to do with it?

*lmao*
seriously, i went into serenity with no concept of what the hell was going on; it just looked good. (firefly came after that for me.) now, i don't think i'm that much smarter than most folks, but i understood the general plot. i put the right names to the characters. i was able to formulate some idea of the backstory that led up to the movie.
that guy shouldn't be leaving the house unattended. he could hurt himself!

I agree ..I actually saw a review on reel.com that gave it 0 stars out of 4...The lowest I had ever seen before was a 1/2 of a star...He says fanboy quite a few times in the review ..I would love to get my hands on the person who wrote that review..It seems like some of these reviewers didn't see the film..Not everyone has to like the movie but it would be nice if they were at least fair..

seriously Citizen, you have to start giving warnings - I think I bust a rib...
I think my favorite bit was where he expressed increduality over the concept that man is capable of love...
The words that spring to mind are 'cannon fodder'
Wheres a war against the alliance when you need it?
