Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 1.0
Sorely disappointed
As a long-time fan of both the books AND the movies, I was eager to see "Anne, the Continuing Story."I was miserably disappointed. This new Anne had NOTHING to do with the books. Why, oh why, didn't they just follow the REAL story?! This wasn't Anne, it was some other person's story masquerading as Anne, and it was terrible.The story plodded along, it was boring and incredibly slow-moving. They tried to make a very little bit of story into a very lengthy miniseries. And it just didn't work.Even with "Anne of Avonlea," the second movie in this series, they kept with events that were in the books, even though they changed a lot of things around. But this third installment didn't have a single thing from the novels at all, except a few familiar characters. There are still four more books in the Anne series that they haven't touched, they could easily have taken things from THEM, so why did they make this wishy-washy movie? It was incredibly disappointing.Stick with the first two movies, which are both charming and delightful; this movie is a waste of time and money. If you want to know what REALLY happens to Anne and Gilbert, read the books.
