I thought they were excellent but not as good as the shows.
I've watched both. Neither was all that good. The premise of the first movie was pretty ridiculous. Some parts of it were way too fake. There is NO WAY those people would have done some of the things they did and gotten away with it. I don't remember much about the second movie except it wasn't good. I suppose the fact that I remember almost nothing says something.
Both were just milking the series. If someone is a big fan of the series, the movies are worth watching. For anyone else the movies can't stand on their own.
I should mention that I don't have a TV and never even heard of the series until earlier this year. I watched the series and movies on DVD from the library in about a month's time. The only reason I know the show exists is because someone at an ESL site was asking about it. They couldn't understand some of the accents.

I watched the series and loved it. It surprised me how much I liked it because I thought it would be a stuffy British series with too much talking but it was definitely entertaining. I saw the first movie and it was pretty good. I'm gonna try and watch the second movie soon.

Yes. Of course I also watched the entire series as well, nothing tops that. The movies were basically just additional episodes that you could go see in the theatre, since many of the episodes were as long as a feature film!
The first film, I didn’t like so much as the second. It felt as though they were forcing a story. The second film was excellent. I like how it tied the whole series together and things were wrapped up nicely.
I haven't watched the second movie. But I've watched the series more times than I can count. I love it, even if lots of the choices made irritated me/broke my heart. Definitely one of my favorite shows ever.

I agree with you. Do you think they’ll make a third one?
Yes. The production value is better but its just a continuation of the TV show. Love it. I'm still mourning lady sybil and Mathew.
