Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 4.0
Not the real deal, but not bad
I am an avid Anne of Green Gables fan. I've read the books and own the two box sets of the movies. I can't tell you how excited I was when I heard there was to be another Anne of Green Gables movie coming out. I waited in anticipation to see it. Although I must admit I was a little disappointed this movie diverted from the books, I did enjoy watching it. It would have been nice to have the story follow the books and pick up with Anne's married life with Gilbert in Avonlea. Other than that, I thought this movie was done fairly true to the feel and tone of the orignal movies. The music, sweeping views, and nostalgia were fairly well represented. I was thoroughy excited to see the original actors in the first two set of videos return to play their characters. For me there is no other Anne Shirley, Gilbert Blythe or Diana Barrie than played by Megan Follows, Jonathan Crombie and Schuyler Grant.
