Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 5.0
Definetly adds to the series!!!
I was so worried that I wouldnt like this after all the negative reviews...and Im not a huge fan of third movies made years after the originals (a la Godfather III). Further, I can completely understand why some people didnt like this addition...its a complete departure from the books, and at times I felt that it lacked a sense continuity (you get the sense that much more time has gone by than should have elapsed).That said, I loved it. For the first time Anne and Gilbert are completely in love, and there isnt so much tumultuous fighting. Also, although contrived, the plot is an extremely romantic wartime whirlwind, which thoroughly held my interest. I think it held to the spirit of both Anne and Gilbert, and the fact that they're older and it feels like things have changed with time, makes it all seem more like a genuine life story being lived and adds this sweet sense of nostalgia and of growing up and moving on. Anyway, I may be alone, but Im so happy they made this movie and honestly, Im relieved that I liked it...because now I get to add more hours to the story whenever I feel like rewatching it.And I would say to anyone who has yet to see it, "Try to like it"...I think it can add alot to the series if you want it to...
