Movie Reviews of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Fifth Season
Movie Review: The Finest Hour
Summary: 5 Stars
On this season Buffy finally comes up against something that cannot be defeated by force alone. Spike reluctantly on both sides finally becomes a part of the gang and many characters are reaching their full potential on this season. A glimpse of Willow's power and even Xander pushes the limits. A death brings the group in close and a birth cements everyone. Buffy also shows that she can take charge and become responsible in this wonderful season which is the best one in my mind.Movie Review: The Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone wrote that this was a weak season.Another person said that "It's not a 'golden' season like seasons 1-3."Yet another person said Clare Kramer's Glory wasn't a formidable foe because she was too centered on her looks.
Well,everyone's entitled to their opinion.Mine is that this is a great season if not the peak of BTVS's run as far as overall consistency.I like Glory...take that back,I LOVE Clare Kramer's over the top ass GLORY.Along with Faith,she's easily amongst the most memorable charactes in the Buffyverse.
Season/Box Highlights:
I can go episode for episode like other reviewers,but true BTVS fans already know how quality this season is.
If you are a BTVS fan and don't have Season 5,you have my deepest sympathies.
Movie Review: Fool for Buffy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this show! If you are one of those people who were skeptical about watching it, I understand. I was one of those people who said a show with a title like that has gotta be dumb...but wait , it's not just about slaying vampires ...it's about sacrifice, love, death, and trying to be sane in a world full of chaos. This show doesn't give you what you want. Instead it will give you what you need. Most shows always end with these happy endings that rarely happen in reality . No not this show...You will feel the pain and emotion of each character and feel as if you're going through the same situations. Basically this season was one of the best. More Anya, more Spike, and double the buffy!! (Intervention) some of the great episodes on the DVD are
1.No Place Like Home
2.Family
3.Fool For Love**
4. Blood Ties
5.Checkpoint
6.Intervention
7.The Body
8. Weight Of The World
9.Spiral
10.The Gift
i forgot Crush which was also really great!!!
BUY THIS DVD!!!! You'll fall in love with this show. I promise!
Movie Review: Buffy's Golden Season 5!
Summary: 5 Stars
If season 4 of Buffy seemed a little unfocused and meandering, season 5 flew like a well-aimed arrow. Is it the greatest season? Well, next to Seasons 4 and 6, this season blazes, but most fans will still cite Seasons 1-3 as the golden age. Don't be so quick to toss this season aside, however, because there are some amazing stories that get told. Granted the inclusion of Dawn into the character line-up wasn't exactly a quantum leap forward in terms of loveable characters, but she'll grow on you later in the season (although that can't be promised in seasons 6-7). Tara's character is given a stronger voice throughout the season as well. Spike's character, however, becomes a casualty-that is, he goes from Big Bad to wisecracking sidekick, a hat he wears decently only half of the time. The Big Bad this season, was a woman named Glory. I personally had no problem with her, although many fans really hated the character. The struggle she has in the episode, "The Gift", with her human host for control of the body she inhabits is a true tour de force. There are many standout episodes here, more consistent than season 4. The opener, of course, "Buffy Vs. Dracula" is memorable, especially for Xander's turn as a minion. "No Place Like Home" sees Buffy enter a trance-like state to try to discern the nature of her mother's illness. The trance she enters is truly unnerving, especially as she wanders about the house watching two different realities phasing in and out. "Fool For Love" has Spike stringing Buffy along for the whole episode with his tales of how he killed two slayers. James Marsters rules here. "The Body" is an important episode because it sets the tone for the next two seasons that followed. It is not an easy episode to watch, and certainly not one of my favorites, but after this episode, the rest of the six episodes kick the season into high gear and take you to a truly breathless climax. For many Buffy purists, this was the proper end of the series, as seasons 6 and 7 were found by many fans to have been lacking the storytelling quality of past seasons. The jury will probably be out forever on the later seasons, but most fans will agree that Season 5 was one of the strongest. DVD features get better and better as the seasons progress (although the navigation menu for season 2 is still the coolest). I liked the featurette with Danny Strong and his demonologist bit. The season overviews you of course probably shouldn't watch if you don't already know the story, because they contain spoiler after spoiler.Movie Review: Possibly the best season
