I really hate the faux-cowboy hick-speak. Really really really hate it. I forgot how much I hated it in the show and it was worse in a feature length film. I loved the story, I thought the acting and the music was good, but I can't handle Joss Whedon's dialogue, between the "snappy" reparte and the redneck dialect, it makes me cringe.
I mean, who can forget gems like, "Been more'n a year since I had anything twixt my nethers didn't run on batteries!"
The dialogue is exactly what makes it special. Aside from the Characters. Ok, amonst it's weaponry, is its dialogue, characters, and fanatical fanbase. Ok, cheif, among its resources, are dialogue, characters, fanatical fanbase, and the story.
the dialogue is precisely what George Lucas tried to do with the Star Wars universe. He attempted to create a new way to speak. Trick is, it was so different, it seemed like bad grammer/writing. Joss pulls off what would logically happen. When space is the wild west and resources are short, people will become a little dumber. They will begin to make their own language based on what preexists. Kudos to Joss, though obviously some people just wont dig it.
