Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 2.0
Not what I expected (or hoped for)
If you have not yet seen this movie, I would recommend that you rent or borrow it before you decide to purchase it. Hoping this new sequel would pick up where the movie "Anne of Avolea" left off, I was disappointed to watch and discover that the movie doesn't even show Anne and Gilbert together that often. The wedding that "Anne" fans have been waiting for was brief and rushed, lasting about two minutes of this three hour movie. After the wedding, the next scene the viewer sees is Gilbert going off to war. Honestly, I think my husband would like this movie more than I do given all of the war scenes. Though I enjoyed seeing the old cast reunited, I didn't feel that this movie was very true to the characters from the previous movies, and certainly not from the books. I plan to sit down and watch "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea" all over again so that I may recapture the sweet romantic sentiment that this movie lacked.
