Veronica Mars: The Movie
Apr. 21st, 2014 09:26 amI finally saw the Veronica Mars movie! Actually, I saw it a few weeks ago, but I finally calmed down enough about it to write something more coherent than “KEYBOARD SMASH PERFECT OMG <3 <3 <3.”
It really is a movie for fans - I’m not sure a non-fan (or at least a non-watcher) of the TV show would get much out of the movie, because it does rely heavily on all the backstory that built up, especially over the first two seasons.
But as a fan, and especially a fan who has been rewatching season one recently, I LOVED IT. I loved all the Easter eggs for fans (the scene where Leo says, “I thought I heard you joined the FBI?” and Veronica replies, “Maybe in another life”? BE STILL MY HEART), I loved getting to see all the best old characters, I loved that they were still written so perfectly in character, and I loved the mystery, although I suspect that if I weren’t so swept away by love of everything I might have poked some holes in its construction. But who cares? It resulted in Veronica in peril (and Veronica defeating peril!), and that is really what I wanted from it.
( The rest of my thoughts are more spoilery )
Okay, that got kind of huge. I have a lot of feelings about Veronica Mars!
