Rotten Tomatoes says Serenity is fifth best-reviewed TV adaptation of all time.
In their list of the 50 best jumps from the small screen to the big screen (in terms of critics' estimations), Rotten Tomatoes gives the BDM some love.
This is a much happier occasion than the last time I linked to Rotten Tomatoes.
(Though I still fail to comprehend how the Wild Thornberrys and Simpsons movies cracked the top ten.)

How can the Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian possibly be missing?
Guess they don't really think of them as adaptations of Flying Circus. Which in all fairness isn't that crazy. Though I think they should be included in any list possible.

Also The Simpsons movie at number 3? It was good but it wasn't that good. Again are they seriously suggesting its better than Serenity, The Fugitive, Wrath of Khan and First Contact?

... and yet they apparently consider Borat an adaptation of Da Ali G show and the Wayne's World & Blues Brothers films adaptations of Saturday Night Live ... so if those are in, the Monty Python films certainly should be (and ditto Brain Candy, the Kids in the Hall movie).
Lots of oddities. "Josie & the Pussycats" did indeed have a TV cartoon, but it's a comic-book property. If comic-book properties that have had TV shows count as TV adaptations, then the Hulk and Spider-Man films are TV adaptations too (which, of course, they aren't, anymore than Josie & the Pussycats."
Still, fun list ... and Serenity kicked butt on all the Trek movies, so: yay!
