Or, a long time ago, we used to be friends but I haven't thought of you lately at all.
You can watch the trailer here.
Veronica Mars (2014) was exactly to be expected. It was made for the fans. Luckily for me I was such a fan. Here's your IMDB synopsis;
Years after walking away from her past as a teenage private eye, Veronica Mars gets pulled back to her hometown - just in time for her high school reunion - in order to help her old flame Logan Echolls, who's embroiled in a murder mystery.
All the 'in jokes' were there. You even had the random busker playing the theme song courtesy of Spider-Man (2002). (I still can't sing the Spider Man theme song without going 'Look out, woooooooo! Here comes the Spider Man!")
Everyone was there that you expected, and hoped, to be at the reunion. They even attended a high school reunion! How delightfully meta of you Veronica Mars!
I speak with sarcasm but I did love it for all those little nods to the fans who made it happen during the phenomenal Veronica Mars Movie kick starter campaign. The main priority of the film was to resolve the ultimate frustration of the fans when the show was cancelled. Get Veronica back with Logan.
Piz was a nice guy and all, but everyone who watched the series as a teenager knew you just can't separate Veronica and Logan. God, I feel dirty for still being invested in this!
The film delivered on its promise. Unfortunately, it did so in such a way that to anyone who didn't know the show it will just feel solely like an obvious rom-com interlaced with dabbles of crime drama.
The important thing was it ended by promising there would be more to come. We've had our fun, we've done all that we promised fans, now we will take it seriously. However, by then I think Veronica Mars would have alienated the potential new audience and have already pandered too much to the old.
