She's 17, and it's nice to see a hero like her as opposed to a uberbeefed out man in armour plating doing all the killing. It's what made her special.

[Stealth]

it's also what made the movie that much cheesier.

i have to admit it was a non-stop action movie, which was kind of nice to see, but some of the parts with the girl beating up people just amused me

[an0n]

Given that she's a ballet dancer and thus has strong, well-controlled muscles and excellent balance, I'm pretty sure Summar Glau could kung-fu your ass into a coma.

So it's not such a suspension of disbelief.

[karajorma]

If you can't accept the fact that someone who has had who knows what kind of top secret experiments run on her not to mention being telepathic can take out a room full of burly men you have no business watching sci-fi in the first place.

[an0n]

Plus, she's hot. They probably LET her beat them up, just to suck up.

[Deepblue]

I thought serenity was average because, frankly, the plot was about as deep as it snows around here.





Which pretty much is never.

[Ford Prefect]

Joss Whedon's work always has an element of tongue-in-cheek to it, which solidifies writing that might otherwise be weak and silly. No, Serenity is not terribly deep as films go, but it has the perfect amount of macabre irony to make its themes worth paying attention to.

Plus, she's hot.

Is this the thread where I just agree with everyone an0n says?

[Sandwich]

Firefly > Serenity

[Stealth]

roger that.

[karajorma]

Firefly > Serenity

I don't think many would disagree with that. Serenity was rushed due to the fact that it was resolving several plot threads that should have taken a season or so to deal with.

Still made a damn good film though
