Before Sarah Michelle Gellar, there was Kristy Swanson as Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Watching it now does feel slightly weird.
To any diehardBuffy The Vampire Slayerfan, Sarah Michelle Gellar is Buffy.
Its even weirder to see Buffy when shes being played by someone else.
And yet whisper it the movie really isnt as bad as everyone thinks it is.
You just have to block out any thoughts of the TV series of the same name.
The only one with the strength or skill to stop their heinous evil is the Slayer.
When shes approached by an old man in a trenchcoat, she recoils and practically runs away.
And really, who could blame her?
I have done so for a hundred lives, and I shall continue to do so.
Do the vampires just run riot?
His name is Lothos (Rutger Hauer), and its every Slayers duty to fight him.
And usually, Lothos wins.
She wont be disciplined, shes rude, and she follows her desires rather than the rules.
Plus shes, yknow, kind of awesome now she gets to use her cheerleading moves to kill monsters.
This is your defence?
Cuts aside, though, theBuffy The Vampire Slayermovie never really lived up to its creators vision.
Its a start, but its not quite the girl.
I pretty much eventually threw up my hands because I could not be around Donald Sutherland any longer.
According to Whedon, Sutherland had a bad attitude, and was incredibly rude to everyone around him.
Its silly, but its flaws are endearing rather than aggravating.
Really, really fun.
And what was the last superhero movie you could honestly say that about?
