Downton looks imposing and a feast for the eyes, like its own character, and its elegant interiors brings back fond memories of visiting national trusts. Reminding me of what makes me love period dramas so much. 'Downton Abbey' looks great though, very sumptuous and clearly done with a lot of polish. Like some others, it did feel like a season's worth of storylines crammed into a two hour film, indicative perhaps of it needing to be 15 minutes longer or two films. In that the film tried to cram in too much, with too many subplots and characters.
As a result of being the opposite of too slight (which was what was feared, being worried as to whether the show would lend itself well to feature film). It did feel on the rushed and jumpy side. If it was a little longer, slowed down and tried to not cram in as much as it did, 'Downton Abbey' would have been even better than it turned out to be. It is a perfect piece of escapism, so easy to watch, leaves one entertained and charmed and does an awful lot right. Finally watching it recently with family, also fans, for me it was impressive, polished and very entertaining but a little disappointing at the same time. Decided though to wait until it was available either online or on DVD, with it not being in cinemas long and being shown at inaccessible times and places. Hearing that there was a film coming out, a large part of me leapt for joy and couldn't wait to see it. It was always one of my most-anticipated programmes every year with each season and more often than not was a yearly highlight.
Absolutely loved 'Downton Abbey' throughout its run and still do when watching repeats, so well made, written and acted (how could it not be with that cast) and not too demanding.
