Strikingly Superb from Beginning to End
Ive not seen but 2 TV episodes but the acting screen writingdialogue and overall execution was just astounding. Maybe Im biased about the foregone era of the empire so if that doesnt appeal to you then it may be just an average movie. Regardless I think this movie is best seen knowing nothing. If youre expecting special effects shallow dialogue or attitude here any dont see this movie. Theres just so much substance with these actors.

Fine stand-alone movie, but a real bonus for Downton fans.

Beautiful!
What a masterpiece Im a fan from the series and I must admit that seeing the cast all together for all these years so happy and cheerful is a true blessing and we all must be so grateful. I went to the Movie Theater today and everyone was enjoying so much People were always laughing at Maggies jokes and commenting on each scene... its pure excitement. I have no words to describe my love for Downton Abbey.

A sheer joy.
As a Downton fan I couldnt have wished for a better film. Whilst I enjoyed the first one this is on another level entirely dont know if its bigger budget or everyone was more relaxed after the success of the first but theres pure joy leaping off the screen.To go into the story would spoil it so I wont suffice to say if you enjoy Downton you will love this.Film snobs will no doubt call it schmalzty but for me its two hours of absolutely fantastic escapism... Highly recommended.

Upstairs, Downstairs and on the Riviera
Another episode in the upstairsdownstairs soap opera life of the Crawley family their heirs their spouses and their friends and especially cherished their servants.How wonderfully all the cast slip back into their familiar and much loved roles after a gap of two years or more. Dame Maggie of course dominates her every scene. Hugh Bonneville is given reasons to cry and he does tearful as believably as he does starchy. Mary and Edith are adorable as always. Mr Molesley gets to save another day.Plenty of people pooh pooh DOWNTON and its fans. I dont watch any of the British or Aussie soaps but I wouldnt miss an instalment of this. Theres talk of a third movie. Bring it on

A Great Wrapping Up The Series
Downton Abbey A New EraIt was greatThis was very much a movie for the fans and it very much felt like the end of road.In the last movie the Kings visit provided the central focus of the plot here we had a less focused shooting a movie at Downton and the family inheriting a French villa.To my mind I enjoyed the movie making but the villa story was quite a bore as it proved to be all a lot about very little.As with any movie that wants to dot the is and cross the ts at the ending of a franchise it necessarily becomes sentimental and self indulgent. I think overall this element was handled brilliantly and we had an emotional rollercoaster.Im giving this a firm 7 outta 10 Im a major fan so its probably is a firm 6 lol.

I love being British
I havent watch the TV series outside a few random episodes I walked in on but this movie still managed to engage me right from the start. The humour is great the acting is phenomenal and there are many emotional moments throughout the film. This film makes me proud to be British.Its a perfect example on how to do strong female characters. For some reason Hollywoods method to creating strong female characters is just give them characteristics typically associated with men. This film manages to have strong female characters while actually keeping them female. Not only that but its also the perfect example on how to include gay characters without it feeling forced.I love that this is a film about making a film. I especially love how the film basically pokes fun at the entire industry. As someone who has worked on film sets this movie perfectly depicts the behind the scenes of filmmaking. The sound guy in this movie is my favourite character since I have met many sound guys and they pretty much all act in the exact same way he does.

An enjoyable era...
The films slow start had me believing that I wasnt going to like it very much but once it found its mojo it sucked me in and had me intrigued in the story.My enjoyment of the film came from the storyline of a movie being created within the movie. It made me giddy watching a silent film be transformed into a talkie and it made so glad to see it. The overall story was just as intriguing causing a few rumours along the way. While the end result was relatively clear early on it was still a fun watch.As with the first film this one contains an amazing score beautiful costume design and gorgeous cinematography. The acting was superb along with the convincing dialogue. I was gladly sucked into the era.I dont know how Downton fans will find the film. With amount of women present during my showing and the laughter they produced along with a few shed tears it appeared that it was well received. I found myself getting emotional as well because it touched a nerve with a real life experience I had.Overall a fantastic Downton sequel in my eyes. I loved the visuals and sound along with the story. The acting was great too. I would definitely recommend seeing this film if you enjoyed the first film.Thank you for reading my review. I hope it helps you make a decision on the film. Until next time.... Enjoy the show

Hits the right notes
Fans of the tv show and earlier film will get the most out of this with plenty of dangling plot threads deftly picked up and woven into a satisfying series of resolutions.Theres plenty of strongly emotional moments here. It plays like one of the Christmas specials but more so and combines an appropriately high stakes 19th century historical family mystery with an examination of an industry on the cusp of a revolution as metaphor for Downton and the Crawleys doing their best to survive in a changing world. Hints are given how they will manage it.This is not the place to start with Downton and the movie assumes wise viewers know that. With so many characters with so much history the audience are given not so much introductions as little reminders.As is traditional Maggie Smith gets most of the best lines but there are no weak performances. Theres even a scattering of wisdom here and there among the drollery and drama.

Better than the first movie
The plot interweaves two stories one is an intriguing surprise about Lady Violets past the other is a more standard new things happening at Downton but at least its better than the visit of the King and Queen that passed for a plot in the first movie.Several characters have a fitting closure Molesleys was a bit of a surprise but not too forced ditto for Barrow.Acting is good as usual and the new characters fit in nicely with the tried and tested cast. Scenography is top notch.Id definitely recommend it for fans of the TV series and for those who were disappointed by the first movie.

Perfect
What a perfect movie. Impeccable cast. Great story. Excellent soundtrack and beautiful costumes and photography. This is what old Hollywood was about and new Hollywood is missing. The nod to Singing in the Rain is obvious but it expands on that story. In an era of bombastic soundtracks and sfx this film proves there are good stories intelligent scripts and great actors. Sadly they are not part of the prevailing culture. This was the exception. Totky satisfying.

No woke. No PC.
At last a movie made in 2020 2022 that is not full of all the Woke and PC that has befallen so much of British Cinema. A delight. True to its characters and the period as depicted by the original series.Extremely well done.

Perfect!
This is perfect And I dont say that often. Although I have always enjoyed the series I was annoyed with the first movie because it went for cheap laughs by making Molesley a buffoon which I believe lowered the respect for the character we had grown to appreciate and depreciated the quality of dialogue and story. No gross errors like that in this film. It carried mystery beautiful character pieces sparkling wit stunning locations grand cinematography and endearing moments. I give this film an enthusiastic 10 perfect out of 10. Period Drama. Our theatre grossly underestimated the fandom of this franchise. Our afternoon showing on this its opening day was packed and the poor staff were met with a monsoon wave of excited patrons seeking all the auxiliary amenities.
