Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 1.0
A bitter disappointment
When I heard that another "Anne" movie was coming out, I was so completely ecstatic about the whole thing! I own both Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea and they are very dear to my heart. However, upon seeing the new sequel I was appalled at the Hollywood antics of Mr. Kevin Sullivan. Not only is our dear Anne a complete flake--and HORRIBLE flirt--she is portrayed as a weak screeching girl, not much more mature than the previous movies left her.I won't go into the details of the WORST plot I've ever encountered in my life (full of dreadful holes and soap opera-like turns), but if you are an Anne fan, I BEG of you not to watch this. It has the same Anne, Gilbert, and Diana to be sure, but it portrays them all dreadfully, and it is 3 hours of nonsensical war epic and sappy romance. It certainly has none of the spirit that was in the last two movies.The Continuing Story is a BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT. (I felt much like Anne when she found her story "tatooed with a baking powder advertisement"!) Cheap, disgraceful to Mrs. L.M. Montgomery, and an absolute flop!
