Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 1.0
A Complete Disgrace
All my family members are HUGE Anne fans and this was a SORE DISAPPOINTMENT. I remember the feverish excitement we had upon learning of a third installment. I agree with all the other reviewers who have expressed their unhappiness. If you loved Anne and Gilbert and all the other characters from L.M.Montgomery's books, DON'T WATCH THIS ONE. It will only shatter every good memory you have of the others.I understand that the reason the writers changed the story-line was the unfortunate absence of Colleen Dewhurst. Still they could have found ways around it. Instead, they've changed the story so ridiculously and drastically, that the beauty, strength, and grace of the characters (indeed the series) is lost.The only good thing about this, is seeing Gilbert and Anne married, and actually seeing how all the characters have physically grown and changed since we last saw them. (Most of the main actors are back, including Megan Follows, and Jonathan Crombie - who play Anne and Gilbert respectively.) To their credit, I must say that inspite of a very poor script, they still put on wonderful performances. Of course, there is only so far that good acting can carry a haphazard story-line.I think Mr. Sullivan would've done better to have stopped after Anne of Avonlea, rather than go on. Thanks for nothing, Mr Sullivan!
