Right first off, I would have loved to give this movie 10/10 BUT I can't... I just can't.
The film was great, despite some reviews i have read who obviously watched the film with extremely high hopes, expecting nothing to have changed at all and to pick up exactly where the TV show left off answering some of the all important questions the fan base has been itching to answer ever since the series was laid to rest, which i admit would have been good BUT impossible...
Such examples of unanswered questions are: "how can George do *THIS*?", "why did *THAT* happen?", "will *XX* ever get with *XY*?". my point of blanking out the important part of the questions wasn't JUST to prevent spoilers BUT also to attempt a suggestion as to why they couldn't answer these questions in this film; the reason for making this film was to hopefully jump start the series OR failing that to appeal to the fan base the series had to start with. Now answering these questions in 90 minutes is just not feasible in either case, it wouldn't make sense to anyone that hasn't seen the series and so interest is lost... also the original fan base would either be annoyed at these questions (which we have been bugging ourselves with for what seems like millennia) being rushed and not really answered, or we would have closure (of sorts) and there are no active plot lines to continue the series with.
In my personal opinion the plot and new character (Cameron) were fine additions to a fantastic show!
Now where it unfortunately loses these 2 points are: Daisy... Daisy Adair (I am a big fan of Laura Harris, so Sarah Wynter's performance as Daisy just wan't good enough for me)...
All that aside if I have to put up with Sarah as Daisy and no Rube. That is a small price to pay to get this show back on the air.
