[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 547272, member: 1723"] Finally took delivery of the long awaited movie the other day after the pre-order was fulfilled. Have now seen it several times along with the bonus features. Really appreciated the closed captioning since sometimes the dialog/accents can be confusing. Initial impressions are that the movie is at least as well done as the series with respect to detail. Both Julian Fellows (creator) and Alastair Bruce (historical advisor) have spared no effort or expense. However...... Great as it was to see this after being enchanted by the series (which I've watched many times) the movie was somehow lacking and I'm hard pressed to explain why. Perhaps some of it has to do with the sheer volume of subject matter to be compressed into a 2-hr feature, but there didn't seem to be adequate development between the actors as there would have been in a series. Too rushed perhaps. Or something. I have other niggling problems with this but in general it was heartwarming and comforting. But I'll go out on a limb here and say that after this, Downton should be put to rest and let the imaginations of the viewers take over as to what happens from here. JMHO as always Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
