Atom User Reviews for Downton Abbey
The only drama were the gay scenes. Something that would have been very rare in that day, but the directors felt needed a lot of screen time. Can’t we get a good movie without agendas or politics from either side?
Being a fan of the series I absolutely adored the movie. It was marvelous seeing the Crawleys back and on the big screen.
most elegant. royalty engaging. a nobel feast of filming.
Can I give it a 10 out of 5 Cent wait to see it again !
great fun
Absolutely loved having the whole crew!!!
Dialog had many funny and on point lines. Really enjoyed the feel good nature of movie. Music was lovely and choreography of horses and people enjoyable to watch
I didn't watch the series until 3 seasons in, but my wife was a fan from the beginning. I became hooked, and this movie was everything I had hoped for.
This is either gives you the answers, to the "what happens too", and the end of Downton... OR just the beginning of a franchise !
Just as good as the show!
All the bits and pieces were tied together in there was some really good feel good moments from an amazing cast.
Poop
A movie that compliments the Series
A great catch up from the series and leaves it open for it to maybe continue. 🤞🏼
Not as great as the series, but still lovely.
if you loved the TV show, you'll love this movie
Want a sequel to be made
So glad I went to see this movie! Brought the series back again. Like old friends.
Fantastic if you loved the series, but doesn't work well as a stand alone. Major payoff for the several years of suffering hardships and death of much loved characters. Some fun laughs and good old fashion revenge. I recommend this movie to all Downton Devotees!
Same great cast, music, writer, & filmmaker. But for me, it was missing the magic. Lots of things happened, but I didn’t really care about any of it. I became disinterested. I love the show. Wanted to love the movie. I was bored.
I was definitely not disappointed. Could not wait to see it. I love the cast and am so glad that that they were back. Hopefully we can look forward to another movie of Downton Abbey.
Everything I hoped it would be!
This was such an amazing show, it truly picked up where it left off, yet it could stand alone. The only thing I can honestly say that was bad about it, was this it was not long enough. What an exceptional movie.
Soooo good. Loved the subtleties. Loved Mosley.
Pure nostalgic bliss.
I went with my mom and we both loved it. it was so nice to see all our old cast. everything is as beautiful as always. I don't want to say much and ruin the plot but it was all lovely . I'd even see it again. happily.
great movie from start to finish
It’s like seeing old friends!
There was no plot involving Mary or parents. The characters we cared about from the series.
Love Maggie Smith!
Well done! And so happy to leave opening for other DA movies!
Stayed true to its form - great to see the characters again in this long episode
If you are a Downtonite, you'll love it!
Strangely edited, a little slow, but fun to see everyone again
Wonderful. I will see it again
Loved Downton Abbey, this was total fan service and I ate it up.
If you loved the show, you'll love the movie. If you haven't seen the show, this is slow and kind of boring. It does have a good cast and some funny moments.
If you are a fan of the show you have to see it.
I look forward to the next installment. 🙂
I loved the entire series & I truly enjoyed the movie ! Will probably see it again. Aside from that I love Grand 18
Lovely way to spend an afternoon, seeing it in a theatre with recliner seats. The only way it would've been better is if we had tea and scones instead of popcorn.
Doesn’t disappoint
It was fun seeing all the characters again with an interesting storyline.
With a cast like this you could have read the dictionary and still gotten raves. Fortunately the script was much better than the OED.
I absolutely loved it. If you were a fan of the show, you won't be disappointed in this movie.
It was everything and more! I plan to see it again
I thought the movie was made just for the fans! Every main character was touched on a bit, the storyline was moving along pretty quickly and different plot points were wrapping up at various times of the movie (rather than all just at the end). Loved it and recommend for anyone who is a Downton fan.
Redbox the DVD. Commercialized Masterpieces Theatre.
I missed this show. Love the movie. So did the whole family.
True to the look, feel, and spirit of the TV series. I loved every minute of this movie!
Metacritic
As pleasant as the Downton Abbey movie is, it’s hard not to wish for something more substantive, more memorable.
Through all the skillfully juggled subplots, the overarching conflict has always been the family’s quest to keep hold of Downton Abbey — and thus preserve their role as the heart of the community, envied and adored by all — while also keeping up with the march of modernity.
It’s not a movie, really. It’s a commemorative “Downton Abbey” throw pillow.
