Wow. This movie was awful. I didn't read the books, but on its own, the movie is still incredibly sad. The dialogue is weak, the plot completely ridiculous, and even the acting was pretty atrocious (apparently all Megan Follows can do is hold people's faces in her hands in every scene.) Plus, Anne and Gilbert look to be about 35. Avoid seeing this movie - it is a waste of three hours of your life, and it doesn't actually in any way continue the story of Anne or Gilbert or anyone else. It is a shoddy attempt at making some kind of dramatic war movie, which Kevin Sullivan clearly isn't cut out to do. I enjoyed immensely his first two Anne films as well as his Avonlea series - he should stick to what he does well, because this is just plain embarassing.
