I read that this movie was a follow-up to "Firefly," which I have heard nothing but good things about, and I still have yet to watch the series. Being that I have not seen the episodes, would I need to watch "Firefly" before watching "Serenity"? I have heard positive things about that movie, too.

It's a direct sequel, so you will probably be somewhat lost in terms of who characters are

Watch Firefly first, as there are things that will mean a lot more, especially character interaction, if you've seen the series first.

You should definitely watch Firefly.
...then go get your money back for the movie.
I'm probably in the minority, but I was severely disappointed by Serenity compared to the show.

I checked it out at the library. I didn't pay a single cent for it. I haven't watch it yet. By the way, I heard that "Firefly" is on Netflix. Maybe I will watch it on there before I watch the movie.

I thought it was a solid movie and certainly worth watching but it doesn't really satisfy because it was meant to be a tv show. The natural evolution we'd have seen with the show had to go out the window to quickly tie everything up in a nice little bow with the movie. I liked it but it just made me want what should've been even more, eat a dick FOX.

No, it's that bad. I'm telling you to go demand a refund for that thing you didn't pay for. There is no way I just didn't see the library bit. DEFINITELY not what happened.

The show was fantastic. The movie was good and did progress some things nicely, but it was not quite as good as the show. I also cannot help but to have wished that The Operative had been the one after the crew in the show instead of the Hands of Blue guys. I also wish that that Mr. Universe had been a character on the show as well, mainly because David Krumholtz is awesome and should get more work.

The movie was really wonky as a stand-alone film.
But as a finale to a pretty major storyline in the Firefly universe I felt it did an amazing job of bringing resolution.

I liked the movie well enough.
That said, I honestly think a big part of why the series failed was that the opening theme is TERRIBLE for the show. It's a space western, sure, but the song just... has no energy. It doesn't really get what the series is across at all.

I saw the movie before the show. I loved the movie, too. >_> Granted I love the show more.

A friend of mine saw Serenity when it was in the cinema and he hated it. In the last few months he watched Firefly, then went back to Serenity and enjoyed it much more.
Take that for what it's worth, I guess.

Also after watching both Firefly and Serenity I would check out the comics for a quick read through

I am sorry but Firefly and Serenity are the most overrated show and film to ever exist in my opinion. Bland acting, bland stories, basically a bad rip off of Cowboy Bebop. And the fans are some of the most wild eyed cultish people I have ever met.
