No, it's a continuation from where the tv series left off but is written by the same person. The tv series is fabulous!!!

thanks, then I’ll refrain from going until I can see the 1st part

tranum, it's a fantastic series but I believe the movie is a continuation of the series.

Well, that is 2+ hours of my life I won't get back, a totally sugar coated confection of nonsense. I should have listened to the critics, but my sister wanted to see it - she did enjoy it.

too funny. If you go in with the attitude that it is fiction but pretty fiction, and not an accurate representation, then to me, it is a fine way to pass time. I really enjoyed the series, clothes, locations, some of the story lines, etc. but I like to have an easy diversion.

I too am reading the Poldark novels, I am on book 4 so I still have a way to go. I have the whole Downton Abbey series on DVD and I have just ordered the movie. Looking forward to seeing it very much.

I saw the Downton Abbey movie today. Thoroughly enjoyed. Nice seeing all the regulars, and yes, some silliness in the middle, tears at the end, but, pretty, and very satisfying.

My husband asked if I wanted to go see the Downton Abbey movie. I told him I will wait until it comes out on on of our steaming channels of PPV. So I said take me to another "Chick flick" soon, he agreed so we are going to go see "Rambo: the Last Blood". Oh, how I love a good action flick, sorry I meant chick flick :)

My husband and I went to see it last night and loved it. The only problem was because it was only 2 hours the characters didn't get much time as they did on the series. How I've missed them!! :) Can't wait to watch the series again.

Oh my friend in England just saw the movie or is about to. Wish I could. Will have to wait for it to be available online somehow.
