Joss had to have a past. This was it. Kirsty Swanson plays her part well enough, but she simply goes from being an annoying type extra from "Clueless" into an annoying Slayer...
The TV series is without question one of the best shows out there. When you consider what a mess was made of Highlander, and even Timecop on the TV series, side, Joss has progressed from an imaginative director hamstrung by a pathetic cast (even Donald Sutherland & Rutger Hauer struggle here) to someone who is making stars of the characters in his series.
Only the Superman series has managed to come close to building young actors careers. Stargate SG1 is pretty good too...
If you are planning on watching a prequel to a well loved tv series, stick with Superman and Stargate though...
Buffy, I remember avoiding in the video store well before they made the tv series. It was on TV last night here in the UK, and the only satisfaction it gave me, was how accurate my instincts were, before I had the benefit of utilising this forum to select good films...
One to avoid. Joss needs to remake this (ala Sam Raimi) now he has more money, and put Sarah Michelle Gellar in place as the young slayer, before moving school....
