Disappointed Anne Fan
I have been a devoted Anne Fan for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching the movies from the age of five or six, and I have read all of the books so many times that they are falling apart. So naturally when I heard that a third movie about my favorite literary character was coming out, I was so excited I could barely wait until it aired. What a disappointment that third installment turned out to be. While I was very happy that so many of the original cast were involved, I was upset by the extreme departure from the story line of L.M.Montgomery's books. The magical feeling of the first two movies was not present in the third. The spirit of Anne was gone. Plus, the time frame was completely off. In the books, Anne and Gilbert have sons fighting in World War I. Not at all consistent. The movie did have its good points. The acting was well done, and the scenery was lovely. But for such a long time fan of Anne, it was not what it should have been.
