Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 1.0
The Best Part is When It's Over
I grew up watching Anne of Green Gables ever since my mom recorded it on our VCR when it first aired on TV. I know it like the back of my hand and I always have enjoyed going back to it over the years. Those of you who identify with me, STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!First of all, yeah it's nice that they got the same actors to play Anne and Gil, but you feel so horrid seeing them literally 20 years older than when we last saw them, even though it's only supposed to be 5 years since they got engaged, so it's really hard to buy. You FEEL like they've had a 20 year engagement, and it feels sad. I got all nostalgic seeing Green Gables again, but then they have to go ruin it again with showing it inhabited by trash people and run down and neglected. No, no, no!I didn't feel a connection with Anne's character, either. I saw nothing of the girl that I knew. The things that she does doesn't feel or sound like what Anne would do. She seems kind of...glum.This movie is an empty husk of former brilliance, and I say shame on Sullivan for trampling over our memories of Anne.I literally had to watch both Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea to wash this out of my mind.
