Don't compare this to the series, and you'll be satisfied. It's eye candy and a clearly expensive production where nothing was short-changed except for the actual story line/s. The acting wasn't up ti the usual standard by most of the…

Not so much a motion picture event as it is two TV episodes played back to back, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Most of the familiar faces are here, and all the familiar complications as well, although things never get quite as…

I liked this DVD. The worldwide phenomenon Downton Abbey becomes a grand motion picture event, as the beloved Crawleys and their intrepid staff prepare for the most important moment of their lives. A royal visit from the King and Queen of…

Loved it! Season six ended very well, but the movie is a special bonus. Complete with beautiful depth in cinematography and all the characters returning. For any Downton fan, I highly recommend this even happier ending to the television…

Everything it needs to be, it is.
Yes, you do have to already love Downton to love this film as you should. You can still enjoy it without having all the background on the characters’ lives, but you’ll be at quite a disadvantage and…

An excellent ending but a few strands were left untied so I hope there’ll be another movie!
I loved the parts where the royal servants were locked in their rooms!

I really loved the Downton Abbey series, but I found this feature film to be disappointing overall. The plot was so very thin and very contrived and kind of dull! It was a treat to see the beloved and familiar Downton characters again. …

I was a big fan of the series, but this movie was disappointing. The parade and ballroom scenes were technically more complicated than anything that I can remember in the series, so kudos for that. The costume and set design were…

I really enjoyed the series, so I was excited to watch the movie. Overall, an ok movie. I liked seeing all my favourite characters again, and there were some lovely scenes and good character development, but the main plot of the Queen…

Charming! I especially enjoyed listening to the actors discuss their roles in the Special Features. It was like watching and listening to modern day Crawleys.

This movie is a delight! Do not listen to the bah humbug reviews. Any Downton Abbey fan will love to revisit the Crawley family and staff in this wonderful continuation. I saw the movie in the theatres, people applauded at the ending. I…
I felt the movie was lacking in British temperament, as though it was written to appeal to an American audience--too "cutesy" as compared to the series. I attended the one night preview and came away disappointed. Having said that, I'll…

Dear God, this was boring. Everything was predictable. It just was an overly long episode, glad we did not pay to view it. Poor folks that did. P.S. I am...oops..was a fan of the series.

I had only seen snippets of the TV show, but still found this follow-up film accessible. I couldn't tell you anybody's name, but the film does a good job of setting up its world for new viewers. It's funny, soapy, and the cast is…
I loved the series and was sad for it to end but the lives that were focused on the in the movie brought it together. I thought even with the many different "plots", each one left me feeling the lives were moving ahead. I was not expecting…
