Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Not much to say about this one, it has some charms to it, but with more and more rewatches, the charm kind of fades. I LOVE the show, it's my favourite show of all-time and it's interesting to go back and see the lore change a bit from the film to the series.
The performances are hit and miss, I think Kristy Swanson does a good job in the role and Luke Perry (RIP) is particularly funny, something you don't normally see from him. Paul Reubens gets some laughs and David Arquette does a decent vampire, the rest kind of suck (no pun intended). Yes, even Rutger Hauer fails to generate any genuine fear or terror.
The dialogue is pretty on point with the tongue in cheek comedy, self-aware attitude. I do wish Donald Sutherland added some kind of flare, he seems to be sleepwalking in the role a little. The fight sequences are a little slow and the vampires just kind of fall to the ground. It's an okay movie to watch around Halloween time and nostalgia will help this film stay alive, good or bad. My rating clearly shows that I'm wearing those biased nostalgia glasses.
