I don't know if Jessica's DH was the reviewer you read, but he concurs.
Haha! I was going to ask the same thing. I still wish I could have gone to the screening though. I miss having my own opinions on movies...
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Well, we went to see the movie. It is entertaining and enjoyable (especially if you don't mind seeing things explode a lot), but I would concur that the ending was bad.
I also am not sure how to interpret what happened to Jake's character at the end. When more of you see it, I'd like to ask a few questions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Entangled spoiler question: does anyone die?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that's a difficult question to answer. But I would say no.

Huh. I saw a picture that I swear someone drew and they said it was a spoiler for the movie and the guy was bleeding out. Does he recover? Does that just not happen? Why is it difficult? Nature of fairy tales?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Which guy was bleeding out? Jake?
Suffice it to say, your question is complicated, mostly because of tense used and time period.

I don't even know, LeN. Is there a Eugene?
Man, people are really pissed that Serenity beat Blade Runner in an IO9 poll. People really need to take pills that make them chill. Anonymous internet poll on a blog, yo.

Okay, I'm just going to persist in my ignorance, though.
