Rating: 1.0
What a way to end it!
I have been a huge fan of L. M. Montgomery's work since I was an eleven-year old girl living in the Caribbean. I've read and re-read, and re-read her stories again and again, and can't seem to get enough. The first two film installments in the Anne of Green Gables story are warm, beautiful, funny, inspiring and moving pieces of work, that are more or less faithful to Montgomery's original novels.The third installment is a travesty.Anachronism, bad dialogue, bad plot and plain old bad acting plague this "sequel". I say "sequel" in quotes, because the thing I dislike the most about the movie is the fact that the storyline is a complete departure from what Montgomery had envisioned for Anne so long ago. What a way to end it.That said, I've decided to purchase only the first two installments, and leave the third alone. I prefer to have Anne and Gilbert live out their literary lives in my imagination, than to poison my memory of them with the drivel that is Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story.
