I think the law firm was a pipe dream, and the movie made that really clear. Also, it just doesn't seem fitting for Veronica to not be in Neptune solving cases, especially given how this movie was funded. I'll check out your review later today!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-80304172697061556992014-03-23T05:23:37.974-05:002014-03-23T05:23:37.974-05:00I've finally watched it this week ^_^ Twice. I...I've finally watched it this week ^_^ Twice. I really enjoyed it. At first, I thought it could be improved a bit more, but on second viewing, I say nah I'm content. And I want a sequel. Or a new season! The ending made me a bit conflicted. I like the way it was set up for a sequel, but seeing them so successful in their careers/new lives, it's just a bit disappointing to see them sucked back into that dark place. Then again, the narration was almost preparing us for that moment. So yeah. <br /><br />Sharing my full review here if it's okay :) http://strangereview.blogspot.com/2014/03/veronica-mars-2014-and-we-thought-she.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051178555536306029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-28602577822262218192014-03-18T23:03:07.658-05:002014-03-18T23:03:07.658-05:00Chip, you're totally right about the number of...Chip, you're totally right about the number of screens. It's actually 291, which makes a lot more sense. <br /><br />I didn't notice that about Dohring, though his character has become so stoic that he's missing the energy that used to make him more interesting. <br /><br />I loved the Vinnie Van Lowe appearance. You can't go wrong with Ken Marino.

I'm not sure how well it would track with someone who's never seen the show (remembering who everyone was might be a challenge.)<br /><br />Was it just me or did Dohring look way too skinny, like "sick" skinny?<br /><br />I liked the little returns, like Vinnie Van Lowe "You're legal now; want to go out some time?" and the principal - "It's been boring without you."<br /><br />For what it's worth, I don't think it was on 900 screens. I had read that it was only going to be on a couple hundred AMC screens. The closest theater to me that was showing it was two states away.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-68060791663315602742014-03-18T08:18:44.319-05:002014-03-18T08:18:44.319-05:00I think a new TV season might be tough because Kri...I think a new TV season might be tough because Kristen Bell has so many other projects. She's also in a TV series with Don Cheadle for Showtime plus just had a huge hit as a voice in Frozen. Still, I'd love to see it happen, and you never know the way things have gone. After the series ended, I wouldn't have considered the possibility of a movie.

My guess is that did very well on VOD too. It's not going to be a huge hit, but when you count in the interest in the original series plus DVD sales, I think they it will do pretty well. I think this movie sets the stage for a sequel that could be even more interesting.

This is one of the few films in recent years where I actually want to see a sequel. I would also love to see, and I am sure studios would as well, a new wave of cheaper franchise films. Tales that do not rely on superheroes or special effects, just good old fashion mysteries.Courtney Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045575858464121137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-6261224723169915032014-03-17T23:05:01.143-05:002014-03-17T23:05:01.143-05:00Great review!

I hope they go through with the sequel, if the producers decide on it - or at least a new season of the show, since the situation of the production is somewhat similar with the situation of Arrested Development.

That's a side of it that I rarely hear about when people discuss it. <br /><br />In terms of the movie, I agree that there were a few issues, but it still was great fun for someone who loves the series.

I think above all else (Bell's performance, snappy dialogue, interesting mysteries) what puts Veronica Mars a step above the rest was it's examination of overarching issues that most series of this demographic would never touch. <br /><br />The movie had issues, but for the most part I was very pleased with it.
