We went to see Downton Abbey last night. It was just like a visit with an dear friend. They explored one character's personal life a bit more and I thought a few scenes could have been left out. Other than that, I was really delighted with the movie. Princess Mary's storyline is good, Mary and Edith are still in their truce, Lady Bagshaw and Lady Violet's storyline is good, too.
Downstairs, Daisy is being Daisy, Anna is relaxed and confident in herself, Thomas is nervous with the King and Queen coming to Downton. Drama insues when the staff find out that the Royal staff will take over everything in the house for the two days the Royals are staying with the Crawleys.
It all works out satisfactorily. There is one side conversation near the end that had me teary eyed, but I won't spoil it.
If you're a Downton Abbey fan, you'll enjoy the movie!

ohhh...tempting... what kind of scenes should have, could have, been left out? Racy? No nudity I hope. That would mean a walk-out after paying perfectly good money. I’m an old prude.
I've been wanting to ask someone who has seen the movie this question: If I've never watched the series, will the movie make sense to me? Or should I watch the series first then the movie? Looks amazing! X Chy
I am not a fan but just because I have never watched it. Lots of my friends are HUGE fans. Love the pictures. Enjoy your weekend dear friend, HUGS!
Summer and I are going on Tuesday - which is my birthday! She found a tea room in Waco for us to have lunch. I.can't.wait.
I'm not seeing it until Oct 4 when my daughters and I can go together. I can hardly wait!
I am a Downton Fan and saw the Friday Matinee at 1. If you're a fan you more than likely will like the movie. Wish that some of the scenes had been longer. Way too short. I was a little disappointed in the story. Just a little. Costumes were great, acting good as ever, scenery and interior shots wonderful.
Saw it and it tied up a lot of stories, but actually left us with new questions. And agree about some scenes.
