I loved the series, it's one of my favorites. But the movie felt bloated to me. It started well, it finished well but there just wasn't enough to warrant it's running time. Trim it up and it's a great episode but I was hoping for a more even effort such as Whedon gave us when he re-visited the Firefly series. Even still, it left me wanting more Veronica Mars so in that regard it did it's job.
