I'd never seen this movie, but being a fan of the TV series I had heard a lot of rumors about it being terribly bad.
Well, now I've just seen it and can confirm that it is, but not as bad as I imagined! Acting, for example, is terrible, the only acting I save is Donald Sutherland's, but certainly not "Buffy"'s, thank God they didn't use this actress in the TV series.
Special effects are horrible too. Vampires don't disappear when they're hit to death, that was probably too expensive for the budget.
Still, in the plot, one can see the lines and ideas, by writer Joss Whedon, that later brought fame to the TV series, so I'd recommend it to all the fans who haven't seen it yet. For all the other people, please do not watch this at all, watch the TV series instead.
