DVD Reviews of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete First Season (Slim Set)

DVD Review: Cringe-worthy for all the wrong reasons.
Summary: 2 Stars

I like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But season one is GOD-AWFUL.
The acting is rather Horrible. Nicholas Brendan better improve as the series progresses, because his performance is embarrassing.
The special effects are sad. i realize this is just when it started and therefore they weren't going to put a bunch of money into something they didn't know would succeed, but it really kills the mood it's trying to create.
The scripts are filled with horrible slang "What's the sitc?" (thankfully i think that dissapears after episode 2) But other than horribly dated language...is the cheesy corny crap the actors are regularly spewing. Yeah it's not all bad. sometimes i laugh.
But For example. Demon takes over the internet. the students start acting funny. They follow one of the students to an old computer development site called CDR.
Xander:Well i guess we better get to CDR.
Buffy: The computer development center?
YES MORON! my god, we're only more than halfway into the episode. how poor do they think my memory is?
People state the ovbious on a consistent basis.
Oh yeah. the plots themselves can get pretty retarded. A demon takes over the internet.
And she's a vampire slayer, but when she suggests that Xander has been possesed by a hyena, that's just crazy talk!
Then 4 students kill their principal, but you never hear about it again. i understand that the show is episodic, but come on! they could have wrapped it up in the episode, instead of the 5 minutes a horrible song plays and Xander and his new hyena palls brood around campus.

i like it, and i'm enduring it because i just know that the series will get better as it goes on. but this is a really cringe-worthy begining, and not because the ugly vampires are scary.

i liked the witch episode quite a bit, it had a good twist. BUt all in all, season one is a lesson in how not to act or write a show.

DVD Review: SADLY the season that started.
Summary: 1 Stars

Buffy the vampire slayer was a good concept that turned bad, very bad. It became an over the top program that was terrible on so many levels. Bad story lines, bad acting and just cheesy in general. THe show was so bad it was canceled twice. not once but TWICE! the first season had some good ideas too start but then just turned bad and got worse. THe only good things about this product is the cover. once you put it in your dvd player things just go down hill. amazon is great with there shipping for sure. but im sure there lucky enough not to have to ship many of these.

DVD Review: BtVS Season 1

DVD Review: Oh Buffy.
Summary: 4 Stars

Buffy, oh how I love you. An absolute rarity! The first season kinda sucks! Thank God it gets so much better, but then it gets... worse, again. Ahh well, atleast we had a few good years somewhere in there.

Description of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete First Season (Slim Set)

No Description Available.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 30-MAY-2006
Media Type: DVD
Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) looks like your typical perky high-schooler, and like most, she has her secret fears and anxieties. However, while most teens are worrying about their next date, their next zit, or their next term paper, Buffy's angsting over the next vampire she has to slay. See, Buffy, a young woman with superhuman strength, is the "chosen one," and she must help rid the world of evil, namely by staking demons. The exceptional first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer introduces us to the treacherous world of Sunnydale High School (where Buffy moved after torching her previous high school's gym). The characters there include "watcher" Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) and the original "Scooby Gang" members--friendly geek Xander (Nicholas Brendon), computer whiz Willow (Alyson Hannigan), and snobbish popular girl Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter)--who aid Buffy in her quest. Those used to the darker tone that Buffy took in its later seasons will be surprised by the lighter feeling these first 12 episodes have--it's kind of like Buffy 90210 as the cast grapples with regular teen problems in addition to saving the world from demonic darkness. Fans of the show will enjoy the crisp writing, the phenomenal chemistry of the cast (already well-established within the first few episodes), and the introduction to characters that would stay for many seasons, including moody vampire Angel (David Boreanaz). Through it all, Gellar carries the series with amazing confidence, whether conveying the despair of high school or dispatching various demons--she's one of TV's most distinctive and strongest heroines. --Mark Englehart
