"When the class war starts, it will start here in Neptune"??? Really? I see Veronica Mars is still the same liberal moronic drivel that it always was. Rich/white men are basically scumbags and cops are corrupt, racist idiots. You know how the rest goes. Get a job Kirsten Bell, a real one that you actually have talent for. That goes for the rest of the cast as well.

Veronica Mars. This movie is amazing. I have been a fan of Veronica Mars the series for years. Usually movies based of series' don't go so well, but this is a difference. It totally lives up to the series' and hype. Even if you have never seen an episode of Veronica Mars, you will love this. A catch up is at the start so you will feel part of the Veronica family. It is full of the classic Veronica witt, humour and sarcasm. Rob Thomas does an excellent job creating a story that lives up as well as giving Veronica a more mature feel. This is my favourite film and I would recommend it to everyone. Veronica Mars the movie is a film with a bit of everything: Crime, Romance, Humour, suspense, drama and action. Get Ready For A New Addiction!

As a fan of the show, it's safe to say that I had been looking forward to this movie quite a lot. But because the show in itself was great, and I would like to have more, but also because it would be great to get some closure. I was thrilled to see that most of the original cast would be in this movie, but one thing I reacted to very early on was that the chemistry between the actors didn't seem as genuine and effortless as it had in the show. To me, the interactions came across as slightly awkward and strained, but it did however seem to get somewhat better as the movie progressed. Other than that, I thought it was a good film with a decent plot, reminiscent of something we would see on the show. We met several of the characters we're already familiar with, and it was a fun trip down memory lane. I can imagine this must be a movie that's slightly difficult to keep up with if you're not familiar with the original show, but I still think it would be entertaining. But especially for us that know and love the series, this was a great movie, and I'm glad we got this opportunity to see the characters again, and get some closure!

I never watched Veronica Mars when it was on UPN (and later the CW network). It aired from 2004 to 2007 and during those years nearly all of my TV habits revolved around watching LOST, talking about LOST and ravenously eating up all the LOST theories that were floating around the internet. I vaguely remember Veronica Mars and that's primarily due to a poster advertisement hanging outside the mall arcade by the main doors. Even if I hadn't been obsessed with LOST, I can tell you that after watching Veronica Mars: The Movie, this was not a show I would have been tuning in to week after week. I chose to go into the movie completely cold. I wanted to judge this film as just that, a film. The only preparation I made was to watch the trailer which didn't really tell me a whole lot other than this was definitely not something I would go see on my own accord. The good news is that you don't have to have any prior knowledge of this movie's universe. It swiftly lays out the all the exposition you need right in the first few minutes without feeling too clunky or forced. Score one for the movie.Veronica Mars is an excellent finale for a show that never truly got one. That this movie even came to fruition is evidence enough of its fans love for the show; they're the ones who funded this thing after all. The film's director, Rob Thomas (not the J.O. with the mullet from that band) and star, Kristen Bell (yes, the blonde who married the other guy from MTV's Punk'd – not Ashton though) put the film on Kickstarter with the goal of raising two million dollars. It went up to nearly six million! That's some intense fanboy love. What's more, I sat in a packed to capacity theater for an advance screening of this movie. That speaks volumes as to how much fans of the show care about what happens to these characters seven years later. Score another one for the movie.So how is the movie? Well, that's where the problem lies. This isn't really a movie. This looks and feels like a 107 minute episode of Veronica Mars. That's not to say anything bad about what I watched on the movie screen other than I should not have been watching it on a movie screen. This is television through and through. This is made evident several times, utilizing such TV tropes as:Insinuating sex with characters kissing and breathing into each other's face while indie music from 2005 plays. A sex scene which is literally just two legs sticking out of the bed sheets. A dramatic event occurs and the screen fades to black as if we're about to watch a Pepsi commercial. I'm not saying this doesn't make for good television, but it is television all the same. That fact will not stop fans of the show from buying tickets, however. And why should it? They've already paid to have it filmed, what's another $10 to see the whole thing through to the end?Fans of the show will absolutely be satisfied with what they see and most likely enjoy every minute of it. A majority of the people in attendance were adults in their mid-to-late twenties. Many of them were probably fans of the show before they could even drink a beer. That same demographic are also most likely to go to the movies. What I'm getting at here is that this two-part television miniseries, filmed for six million dollars, has a very good chance at being a huge hit. Add another point to the movie's score.The issue I'm having is that this is a film review site and I'm charged with reviewing films. That Veronica Mars is an entertaining and satisfying piece of television can only carry it so far. As a movie, this will not do. As a movie, these characters and their motivations are wafer thin. As a movie, the plot doesn't really work. So how do I rate this thing?As a movie it's a 4.As a final episode to a TV series it's an 8.I'm just going to have to split the difference.
