Title: OK On it Own--Unless You're a fan of the show
Review: On it's own, this movie is OK. It is certainly not a great movie, but if you are up late or bored, it might be enjoyable. However, if you are a fan of the show, as I am, then this movie provides little drug for your "Buffy" fix and fails to provide any significant history to a fan of the show. Also, don't watch the movie and expect to see the same level of drama/comedy/romance and depth of the characters as you see on television each week. If you are a fan of the tv show, watch/buy the series premiere "Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest" as a starting point. Finally, while I like Kristy Swanson, she is no Sarah Michelle Geller who is the "real" Buffy (despite not being the original).
