"Imo, it does not hold up on it's own and definitely requires seeing the show first..."
In your opinion, of course...which is wrong (Imo)
Hmm... you gave your opinion, then I gave mine (which was opposite of yours). Seems all that needed to be said was already out of the way. But thanks for chiming in and explaining that we have different opinons, because I guess others couldn't have figured that out.
So I'll play once, then I'm done.
"Sorry Sean, but I disagree with everything you said..."
Right back at 'cha. In the opinions of others who have NOT seen the film, it does hold up on it's own.
I've seen it with people who did not see the show (who did not even know it was based on a TV show) who liked it and were surprised when I told them there was TV show that came before it.
Imo, some people who know a movie is based on a show (who haven't seen said show) can't get past it when the film refers to things that happend prior to the film, even if those things didn't take place in the TV series either.
Any number of original films have characters that have some kind of back story/history/relationships that are loosely refered to in the course of the film even though no one ever saw this or gets the whole backstory.
Unfortunately, it seems that often when there is a film based on a TV show and they use this same device, some people who haven't seen the show (but KNOW there was a show) automatically think they are missing something...even though people who have seen the show don't have any more information about said issue.
I'm tempted to ask just what it was you were so confused about, but that is really a discussion for the movie discussion thread.
