I kinda thought that on first viewing (in a theatre, big screen) but we watched the series again and then the movie, and it does work better the second time around. Things are darker and grimmer, and they can escape the narrative limits of series TV, which they use to make the stakes far higher (including killing off characters). I could have lived with less fighting, too.
