Very well done! This is the most unabashed Fan-Service film I've seen since Serenity...and I daresay, it caters to its fans even more than Serenity did.
In fact, my biggest complaint about this movie is that it might cater too much to fans, leaving newcomers in the dark. The movie re- introduces you to Veronica, but virtually everyone else gets no exposition and no character development (beyond what you'd see in a typical episode, that is).
For fans of the show, this movie is a gift. You basically get a new episode of the TV show here- a bottle episode that's roughly 100 minutes long.
There were a few differences- namely, I didn't remember the show being this funny. Veronica always had a good sense of humor, as did her dad, but in this movie there were a surprising amount of laughs.
Also, the mystery isn't as deep as the full season one and two story lines (obviously). What's worse, I don't think the resolution of the mystery has that same "I should have seen it all along!" genius that made seasons 1 and 2 so special. I'd say the plot is comparable to one of the mini-arcs from season 3.
Lastly, as good as this movie is, it still doesn't exceed (or even meet) what the show already did at the top of its game. The emotional highs and lows are the same old thing as before, and the plot isn't nearly as neatly connected. I'd say I rate the movie as slightly above season 3, but not as good as seasons 1 or 2.
But what the Hell, you get to see Veronica work again, and it's too much fun to pass up!
Fans must see this movie.

Always loved it and the new series was, while not as good as the original, very good too.
I was not expecting very much from this movie and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong this movie has its flaws. The plot while not bad is fairly predictable for anyone who has spent time watching police procedural shows. Many of the characters in the film also suffer from being cookie cutter clichés with about as much depth as a puddle. You know the crooked cop who is so bad he might as well be a cartoon character. However the movie moved along at a decent pace and the dialog was enjoyable, i even found myself laughing more than I thought I would. I imagine that fans of the t.v. series will enjoy this film more than I did. If you are not a fan of the t.v. series and you go in with moderate expectations you will enjoy it.
It was great! Awesome plot, witty like the original show, and absolutely loved seeing almost all of the original cast!
I really can't understand why this movie go straight to DVD, it is a very good movie.
I didn't have the honor to see the series, i think now, i am going to search them. i hope i will find them on DVD or Blu ray.
it's been so long that i didn't enjoy each fragment of a movie, and having this high tension of suspense and tension. it really surprising me.
Rob Thomas, Diane Ruggiero and Kristen Bell, you guys have made good work, I really enjoy the movie. I think you a new franchise. i am very impatient to see what is coming next.

- TriviaAt the police department, Leo (Max Greenfield) comments that he heard a rumor that Veronica (Kristen Bell) was working for the F.B.I., to which she replies "another life maybe". A trailer for the fourth season of Veronica Mars (2004) was released by Director Rob Thomas, showing Veronica's first few days with the F.B.I.
- GoofsWhen Veronica and Piz are talking at Piz's job at "This American Life," an extra can be seen in the background looking at the ground to realize she missed her mark, then stepping backwards to position herself correctly.
- Quotes
Veronica Mars: Come back to me.
Logan Echolls: Always.
- Crazy creditsThe very end of the closing credits include a thank you to the fans and backers:
"This movie would never have been possible without the endless faith and support of our fans around the world, and especially the 91,585 backers who pledged on Kickstarter to bring Veronica back to life. Thank you for never giving up, and for helping us do the impossible."
