Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

John Doe The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film starring Miss Kristy Swanson is a dud of a film...in many ways.All the girls including Buffy have valley girl accents, which ruins it for me, I can see quite clearly why Joss Whedon wanted this changed for the Television series. It just doesn't work here. Also the story line is flat and uninteresting and just plain boring. I really didn't like this film, but I watched it anyway because I am a big fan of the TV series starring Sarah Michele Geller.I wish i didn't see this film but I bought the DVD just so I could complete my Buffy DVD collection.I give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a 3/10

SnoopyStyle Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is the quintessential valley girl cheerleader. She and her friends are all clueless. She is approached by Merrick (Donald Sutherland) and told that she is the Slayer. There are vampires in the world, and there is a slayer who fights them. When one slayer falls, another one takes her place. It is Buffy's turn to be the Slayer. She is joined by a slacker outcast Pike (Luke Perry) in a fight against the powerful Lothos (Rutger Hauer).This is most notable for who wrote the script, Joss Whedon. Although he definitely has disowned this with all the changes to his script. It has a funny co-starring role from Paul Reubens. The style is lacking. Kristy Swanson has the looks but not quite the attitude of the valley girl exactly. She always seems a bit too bright and too serious for the clueless role. It is definitely a very light sarcastic take on the vampire movie.

tbills2 Buffy the Vampire Slayer takes on all those too cheesy and too lame teenage fantasy adventures you might see and turns them into something of a smart comedy that has edge and is real. Kristy Swanson is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Swanson gives Buffy a too real vibe with an impressive show. She's outstanding. Kristy's a great choice for the classic part, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Kristy can really act her way around a movie set. She is sooo hot, like, the hottest. I love Kristy Swanson. I love her in everything I see her in. I didn't get enough Kristy Swanson through her short lived career. Watching this helps. I love her in 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag and in The Chase. Kristy Swanson makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer worth watching more than just once, along with the rest of the really good cast. Donald Sutherland supports Swanson effortlessly acting from the shadows so to not take away from Buffy's story. Teen heartthrob Luke Perry brings a bit of his bad boy attitude. Funny man David Arquette brings some of his freaky deaky nature. Pee Wee Herman, Paul Reubens, brings a bit some of his wild imagination. Hilary Swank is seen in beautiful form. Hilary, now, Hilary, can act. She can like seriously, act. Hilary. This fun movie is really campy, but it pays off by the end. Kristy Swanson, I love how nice it is to see you.

Morbius Fitzgerald I mean it when I say it in the title, of all the crushed visions from writers that I've seen. This one is easily the best.This film is in the shadow of it's remake, the TV show that everyone loves SO much. Joss Whedon also admitted he hated the end result of this film and the director changed his vision, a lot of material was altered to make it a campy teen comedy. In spite of ALL of this, I still managed to enjoy it.The acting is okay, well sort of. Kirsty Swanson will ALWAYS be compared to Sarah Michelle Gellar and unfortunately for her, SMG does portray the character better. However Swanson led the role with a certain finesse about her that was still well done. Donald Sutherland also does a good "pre-Giles" watcher.I do think this film is okay, it has its moments - I compare the guidance counselor with some of my other teachers when he says(during the final battle) "I've got detention slips, and I'm not afraid to use them." On that note as well, expect that sort of humor. If you thought that sounded like crap or "too corny" for your taste I suggest watching the show.If you watch this THEN the show(or for most people, the other way around), you will find many inconsistencies with the source material. For example the ending is that Buffy defeats the Vampires, dances with Pike in the school hall and they both ride away on a motorcycle together. In the show Buffy apparently burned the school hall down in an effort to stop the vampires (which is why she got expelled) and she moves to Sunnydale with her mom only. The main reason this happens is because of Whedon's last draft, he apparently left the project midway through production and never came back. I look at this film as something COMPLETELY separate to the show for this reason.Overall this is seen as the "ugly sister" to its TV counterpart. Even though this film as MANY weaknesses, its not too bad for a watch or two.
