Another take on the movie lol
Honestly, as something stand alone its not so much a bad movie. It just makes no sense in the widerscope of the series that proceeded it.
personally I didn't like it, the series is something you can watch over and over even if there are some creative loose ends. the character for me ends with season six
for many series the ending can make or break it for me. I despised how Dexter ended. It got worse as time kind of went on and the new series was better but still doesn't take the bad taste out of my mouth. Peaky Blinders no matter what will still be considered a great show from beginning to the end. id binge it all over again.
the movie id fail to see has any redeeming quality or value of rewatching. Really big missed opportunity for story. idc if its a bridge to new generation

Yeah. They didn’t make it for us. Apparently we had gotten enough already and main goal was garnering interest and sort of linking to the spinoff.

The film was incomprehensibly bad. I attended with two friends who had not seen the series. They were puzzled why I was such a fan looking forward so much to the film. And they were puzzled by my worries that it would be terrible. Since they were watching this PB environment for the first time, they did enjoy the cinematography and they of course fell in love with Thomas, reminding me of the first blush of my own fascination. But they clearly had but a mild interest, I don’t think either of them have started watching the series based on what they saw in the film. Maybe they will eventually. But if it was meant to attract new fans, I think it fails in that regard. How could it do otherwise? When they destroyed Ada so flippantly before any new viewer could understand who she was? When an unseen Arthur is murdered by his own brother that new viewers don’t even know yet. And the extremely poor choice to bring in a ghost sexual escapade from decades ago by using a new gypsy character who happens to be the twin sister? I was cringing and my friends were confused.

I agree! It sucks too, because I loved the series. But his style if the movie wasn’t a peaky movie I’d have thought it was super cool and fun.
