Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 6 DVD Collection Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 6 DVD Collection
The sixth series ofBuffy the Vampire Slayerfollowed the logic of plot and character ... more
development into some gloomy places. The year
begins with Buffy being raised from the dead by
the friends who miss her, but who fail to
understand that a sacrifice taken back is a
sacrifice negated. Dragged out of what she
believes to have been heavenly bliss, she finds
herself "going through the motions" and entering
into a relationship with the evil, besotted
vampire Spike just to force her emotions.Willow
becomes ever more caught up in the temptations of
magic; Xander and Anya move towards marriage
without ever discussing their reservations; Giles
feels he is standing in the way of Buffy's adult
independence; Dawn feels neglected. What none of
them need is a menace that is, at this point,
simply annoying--three high school contemporaries
who have turned their hand to magical and
high-tech villainy. Added to this is a hungry
ghost, an invisibility ray, an amnesia spell and a
song-and-dance demon (who acts as rationale for
the incomparable musical episode "Once More With
Feeling").This is a year in which chickens come
home to roost: everything from the villainy of the
three geeks to Xander's doubts about marriage come
to a head, often--as in the case of the impressive
wedding episode--through wildly dark humour. The
estrangement of the characters from each other--a
well-observed portrait of what happens to college
pals in their early 20s--comes to a shocking head
with the death of a major character and that
death's apocalyptic consequences. The series ends
on a consoling note which it has, by that point
and in spite of imperfections, entirely earned.

their hearts have been broken, their egos trampled
in typically vicious high-school style, and as a
result, they've begun to realize how fallible they

monsters, or a bigger evil. Despite this, or

something of a unit--there's the smart girl,
Willow (Alyson Hannigan) who dreams of saving the
day by downloading the plans to City Hall's sewer
tunnels and mapping a route to safety. There are
the ne'r do wells--the vampire Spike (James
Marsters), who both clashes with and aspires to
love Buffy; the tortured and torturing Angel
(David Boreanz); the pretty, popular girl with an
empty heart (Charisma Carpenter); and the teenage
everyman, Xander (Nicholas Brendon).Then
there'sBuffyherself, who in the course of seven
seasons morphs from a sarcastic teenager in a
minidress to a heroine whose tragic flaw is an
abiding desire to be a "normal" girl. On a lesser
note, with the box set you can watch the fashion
transformation of Buffy from mall rat to
Prada-wearing, kickboxing diva with enviable
highlights. (There was the unfortunate bob of
season 2, but it's a forgivable lapse.) At least
the storyline merits the transformations: every
time Buffy has to end a relationship she cuts her
hair, shedding both the pain and her
vulnerability.In addition to the well-wrought
teenage emotional landscape, Buffy deftly takes on
more universal themes--power, politics, death,
morality--as the series matures in seasons 4-6.
And apart from a few missteps that haven't aged
particularly well ("I Robot" in season 1 comes to

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Movie
Review of Buffy The Vampire Slayer DVD by agrudis

Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: Badly done, badly casted, badly dressed

This is the worst Buffy I have ever seen. From the stupid misunderstandings of what the O-Zone layer is, to the horrible clothes worn by Buffy. There must be some explanation for her thinking that lush yellow leather jacket is some look to go by. I don't see how anyone can find any of the characters attractive, or how anyone could stand the type of valley-speak the characters use. (''Mr Howard is so heinous'', for example). If you have the DVD, ...
...part of the movie - Buffy is about to stab a vampire, but gets interrupted by another vampire playing violin. She proceeds to kill the vampire, who dies pathetically, while the violinist continues to play. You get to see the vampire finally die after the end credits roll. Candy Clark, who plays Buffy's mom, is a very bad actress in my opinion, and is nothing like the Joyce Summers who we come to know in the series. The story was bad, the character ... Read review

Pike isn't a name, its a fish!
Review of Buffy The Vampire Slayer DVD by xElectroxGirlx

Advantages: Feel-good and light hearted.
Disadvantages: Not for the hardcore TV series fans.

Okay, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie is definately not for everyone. If you're a fan of the series & love Sarah Michelle Gellar as the vampire-slaying, butt-kicking Buffy, then this is probably not your cup of tea. The Buffy TV series is a whole lot more gothic, more serious, and has a rockier soundtrack. The movie on the other hand is pretty light hearted, and girly. In a word, i'd say this movie is cheesy. But that doesn't mean its bad. If ...
...people would probably say they prefer the series. Its just a case of taste, really. The movie seems more of a late 80's film, what with the fashion and soundtrack. The whole thing is not taken too seriously, and a lot of the vampires are pretty slapstick. I think it's a brilliant, feel good film, if you disregard the series for an hour and a half! ...

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER SERIES 1 DVD COLLECTION
Review of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Series 1 - Complete DVD by  willowbabe

Advantages: EXTRA EPISODES, GOOD INTERVEWS,GOOD EFFECTS
Disadvantages: SCENERY A BIT DARK IN PLACES

...i have watched buffy the vampire since the very begining and was hooked from the very first episode where she learns that she is the only slayer. i love the struggle between good and evil and been a slayer and trying to be a ordinary teenager. the best scences that i loved was when she first meets angel and does not know he is a vampire. the journey they go on to discover each others identidy and have feelings for each other that are supposed to be forbidden is excellent viewing. all the other characters such as willow xander and claudellia are brilliant as part of buffys scooby gang and provide excellent humour and satire to the series. buffys struggle to keep her normal life and her slayer life a secret from her mother also provides thought and scences of struggle between two identities. trying to please both hes mother and watcher...

A Tale of Two Slayers
Review of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Series 3 - Complete DVD by  sandemp

Advantages: One of the best seasons of Buffy in a complete boxset
Disadvantages: Only one episode with spike. No 5.1 sound.

...***************** Background ***************** The phenomenally successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer returns for its third season on DVD. The series focuses on the life of Buffy Summers, high school student by day, super strong vampire slayer by night. Although you could start watching Buffy from this season (after all I originally started watching in season 5) its not recommended, as you would not fully understand the story lines. ****************** The Packaging ****************** As with season 2 the dvd's are encased within an impressive book. Each dvd being protected in a seperate page with fluffy lining, the book also contains a useful episode guide.

Series 2. More of the same, only better.
Review of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Series 2 - Complete DVD by  Brewster

Advantages: Action packed, great one liners, well acted and the bonus material
Disadvantages: The packaging

...This DVD contains all 22 episodes from the second series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, along with a collection of bonus material. As this opinion is on the DVD rather than the TV series I won’t go into too much detail on the actual series. For a more detailed history of Buffy the Vampire Slayer have a look at my opinion on series 1 (with series 3 coming out I need all the reads I can get, 3500 reads should earn me enough to buy it), or have a look at some of the excellent opinions on the TV series section of Ciao. *************************** Cast Buffy - Sarah Michelle Gellar Angel - David Boreanez Xander - Nicholas Brendon Willow - Alyson Hannigan Cordelia - Carisma Carpenter Giles - Anthony Stewart Head Jenny - Robia LaMorte Spike - James Masters Drucilla - Juliet Landau Note - Anyone...

DVD Description

In BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, a fully accessorised L.A. high school cheerleader (Kristy Swanson) is informed by a mysterious stranger (Donald Sutherland) that she is destined to battle vampires. Soon she's wreaking havoc on a local chapter of bloodsuckers. But when the top vampire (Rutger Hauer) vows revenge, it totally fouls up her social schedule. This film, featuring a script by BUFFY mastermind Joss Whedon, is the forerunner to the popular television series.

Review: "...High-spirited....[Swanson] provides the ideal combination of energy and comic disdain that characterize a most unlikely savior..." (Los Angeles Times, p.F1, 31/07/1992)

"...Slight, good-humored....Swanson's funny, deadpan delivery holds the film together..." (New York Times, p.C8, 31/07/1992)
