3.5/4

The world of “Downton,” as fantastical as Camelot, celebrates an ideal of civility that is foreign for today’s tech bros and one-percenters. Good reason to honor the cast and crew of this final cinema remembrance for the pleasure of their company.

It’s all tiresomely fatuous, coasting along on the familiarity of the characters and fabulousness of the frocks. On this, at least, it doesn’t disappoint.

It's not very good, but it doesn't need to be.

It's like a comfy old pair of slippers and it's wonderful to see the gang all back together one last time. A wonderful tapestry of story lines that are beautifully woven together.

The wrapped up the movie trilogy and the overall franchise story very well. I literally LOL'd at a few scenes. The storyline itself was very grounded and realistic, which I appreciated. It's also fairly easy to follow along with if you havent see all of the episodes and previous two movies. It wasn't too hokey or cheesy...it was poignant, endearing, funny, and sweet. The cinematography itself was also very beautiful. If you are a fan of the franchise you wont be disappointed.

I never saw the show, or the prior movies, but I accompanied someone to this, and I'm now very interested in the series. The characters seems genuine in this movie, and the period based elements are cool to experience.
