Wired
liked it:
As a writer of dialogue, Whedon is a superstar, and, unlike other genre screenwriters, he does more than provide a few good catchphrases. Wisecracks, playful banter, metaphor, irony, double entendres, even quiet, emotionally weighted moments -- Whedon does it all.
...
And it's those human elements -- the undeniable chemistry between the crew, the tense standoffs between good guys and bad, Mal wrestling with his conscience -- that make Serenity work. This film is intended for grown-up adults and smart teenagers, and the story never seems dictated by what might be called the action-figure imperative -- the need for a movie to drive toy and video-game sales.

I swear, I must have a blood clot in my brain too.
Warning: Fairly big-ass spoiler in the very last paragraph of the
Wired
review.
Sorry. I thought we weren't warning about spoilers anymore.
Oh, shit, I forgot. It opens TODAY! For reals! All blackfont, all the time! I'm clearly having trouble believing it.
But, anyhow, warning for anyone who's seeing it this afternoon or tonight and is unspoiled thus far and wants to remain so for the next few hours.

Yeah, good point. Might as well not spoil people until we have to.
eta: Or, NSM spoil people, but fill this thread with spoilers.
After ita put her Big Red Spoiler Warning up, I was tempted to post the biggest
Serenity
spoilers here, in equally big and red text.
If you want to stay unspoiled, leave. I'm tempted to get the big spoiler(s) out there too, but maybe later.
Yeah, is there anyone still here who
hasn't
seen
Serenity yet?

So it's OK to talk about how Zoe gives birth to a capybara now?
