Buffy the Vampire Slayer

"This movie was just so quintessentially 80’s that it wasn’t even funny and I enjoyed every single second of it. I love the TV series, but having Buffy start as a vapid, materialistic valley girl and turn into the Chosen One was so fun. Her almost enemies to lovers arc with Pike was also super cute! Side note: the casting of this movie is ridiculous!!!! Luke Perry, Hilary Swank, David Arquette AND Donald Sutherland?!!! You can’t lose."

"Queen Buffy is packing MUSCLE omg shes gorgeous, but about the movie, Idk, it’s like, good I guess"

"Reminds me of being a teenager! Awesome teen vampire movie and it is always amazing when Luke Perry is in it "

"+/- This movie suffers in two respects: It carried over the remnants of 80s cheese and coming-of-age story structure into the early 90s, and the parts that are really 90s have aged. Having said that, I was born in the late 80s and grew up with this movie throughout the 90s, so while I wouldn't call this a guilty pleasure (you like what you like), I would not dare defend this as a quality film. I still find much of it funny, and gloriously cheesy. I laughed at the absurdity of the scene in the girl's locker room where Donald Sutherland as Merrick lightly brushes both ends of his mustache with his fingertips before throwing a knife at Buffy's face; or the movie trying to add dramatic character arcs through the ongoing ditzy valley girl joke. And of course I laughed when seeing Rutger Hauer as Lothos giving flamboyant, theatrical monologues and then telling Paul Reuben's Amylin with deadpan delivery, "Do something about that arm, it looks terrible." {Also hearing him say "Puh-leeease" like a valley girl tickles me every time.} It does get some atmospheric details right, such as the beginning where we see a slayer in the middle ages fighting vampires, and then it's revealed that Buffy is reliving this time in her dreams. The dream sequences are done so well for being so practically created and shot. I also thought the chemistry between the leads, both on the protagonist and antagonist sides were great, adding a layer of entertainment and sometimes cool mythos through their characters. It made the TV series that I loved so much possible. But as a movie that has very little to do with the show, this is a fun piece of entertainment that shows me how dumb a ratings system can be. I gave it 3⭐, but my affection for it can't be rated. It has aged, yet in its time it made fun of itself, so that making fun of it was pointless. That spirit of self-deprecating humor gives it a certain charm that makes me smile when I watch it. Cool childhood favorite."

"The show is way better. Very hard to believe the show is based off of this movie. "

"We love tough women and their men who are not emasculated by them being tough "

"One of the best vampire shows of the 90s"

"It's a guilty pleasure, I love all things Buffy! "

"loveeee"
