SO MANY HAPPY FEELS!
I'm a huge Veronica Mars fan and I've been patiently waiting for the day it'd return in any form. The fact it is a film and not a book or a comic is perfect and I'm stoked this played a one-off session in my city. As one can imagine it was a huge night for fans and the cinema was sold out full of people rocking Veronica Mars shirts and shouting famous lines before the film started. From there it was 110 minutes of laughing, smiling, giggling and just generally having the time of your life. I literally had a widest of grins on my face the entire length - not only was it a great Veronica Mars mystery, but seeing all these great characters again was a blast.
It was a good night to be a Marshmallow!

Hell frickin' yeah. Airing 10 years ago, Veronica Mars was only a passing thing that I saw on ads as a little kid. But several years after its sad cancellation after season 3, I jumped on the bandwagon and started watching the series. I couldn't help but be absolutely hooked and captivated by its actors, its stories and the general writing and direction of this TV show. With a kickstarter campaign that broke records, Rob Thomas has returned with a bang. The dedication of the fans in creating and raising funds for this movie, even after almost a decade after its cancellation just highlights the brilliance of this show.…
usually when i'm so nonplussed about a film i find myself thinking something to the tune of "well, that was *definitely* a movie." but with VERONICA MARS, i'm not so sure.
of course, the conversation with this film is driven by the question of utility more than anything else. the people who paid for it knew exactly what they were getting, and the movie delivers it to them in spades. except, it doesn't. it exposes and underscores whatever weaknesses were inherent in the characters from the beginning, namely how incredibly fucking dull veronica's love interests are. piz, logan, who gives a shit. i suppose it's a nice change of pace from the women being the ones who are written so…
Part of A Film A Day
"I don't care if Logan Echolls not the guy. America thinks he's guilty, and that's enough for me."
It's hard to believe that Veronica Mars started as a Kickstarter project. Though I haven't seen the series, the film still held up pretty well. It's highly entertaining and very quickly paced, or so it seems. Though the introduction seems overlong, and the conclusion much too short, the film acts as solid entertainment, moreso than most films I've seen this year (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, this film makes me even more disappointed in you). At times though, where Veronica Mars falls short is that it feels too much like a made for TV movie. For fans…
This is the fourth part of my four-part essay on contemporary cinematic representations of the law. You can find the full essay (with pictures!) here.

Part Four: Veronica Mars (2014)
We find a similar pursuit of justice outside the law in Rob Thomas's Veronica Mars (2014), but here our protagonist finds a solution to the heroic exceptionality which made Keller Dover's position problematic. She achieves the best of both worlds: the justice of subjectivity without its exceptionalism, and the containment of objectivity without its inhumanity. She retains the subjectivized dimension of the law without reproducing the conditions of its necessity. The reason for this is her attitude…
"Dumb question, but I have to ask : Did you know you were being filmed?"
Veronica Mars is a character driven action thriller with a solid fan base due to the short lived TV series success. I never watched the critically acclaimed series which aired for three seasons from 2004 to 2007, but the film is easy to follow and engaging nonetheless. Kristen Bell is given a well written character and delivers a strong performance in the lead role. She has some witty lines and I'm sure I missed out on a lot of clever gags aimed towards fans of the series, but I still was entertained by this film. I'm sure fans of the series will have a much…
This movie is a love letter to San Diego it's just to chicken to say so. THis was a fun ride and I am so happy I got myself ensnared in yet another fandom. I'm a marshmallow and I'm proud. Side note I want to look into becoming a PI. I give this movie four and a half sassy retorts out of five.
The follow up to Rob Thomas' fun noir-fueled high school/college drama is a fun bit of nostalgia that taps into many of the elements that made the show a lot of fun.
That being said, it never fully feels divorced of the show, playing like an extended episode. The cast are as good as you'd hope, returning after roughly a decade. And many of the dynamics that fill the show return.
But, some odd editing choices (commercial breaks?) and a few plot beats that don't fully resolve (sequel setup?) drag this one down.
If you're a fan of the show, you'll definitely enjoy this prologue, but it never lives up to the series' highest points.
Five years have passed since Veronica Mars’ initial surprise return. Back then I was just so stoked to have more of the Neptune crew in my life.
Now, I’ve worked my way through a rewatch leading up to her most recent return in the Hulu season 4. Watching this so close to ending her original adventures it does lose a bit of its sheen. It’s not the most compelling mystery she’s cracked, and it’s a bit bogged down by fan service. But, I don’t think that makes this bad or misguided. It’s simply a tonic that I’ll continue to savor.
came late to Veronica Mars only this past year and binged the show up until the movie but having watched it and now the movie i have a real appreciation for the show but also this movie that does a great job taking a show about a high school PI and taking what made it resonant and expounding upon those. There's some fan service in there and if you don't watch the show you miss a lot so as a piece of art on it's own it is lacking but as a fan of the show i loved it
