I liked the movie, but actually didn't get to see the release version 
until after the DVD came out.  We got to go to a pre-release screening of 
it, and not all the sound effects or music were finished when we saw it.

But there was a lot in the TV series that didn't make it in, and of 
course too bad about what happened to a couple of the main characters 
(trying not to spoil) - I think that affected the feel quite a lot, too.  
River still kicked ass, though, and that's always fun to watch. :-)

Agreed.

I remember watching a few eps of S:AaA but never really got into it.  My 
younger brother loves Band of Brothers, though - he's on a big WWII kick 
at the moment because my dad was in Europe for part of it (though looking 
at his discharge paperwork, only about 7 months or so, right around the 
time the war ended).
