Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 1.0
So incredibly disappointed.... anyone who liked this movie has NEVER read the books.
If there was a way to go back in time and NOT watch this movie, I would do it in a heartbeat. I am so disappointed there are not words to express it. I am usually less critical of movie versions of favorite books than most of my friends... but this movie broke my heart with its awfulness. I couldn't figure out how to give it zero stars... but if I could have, I would have.The entire Anne of Green Gables series is my favorite series of books. I have read them all dozens of times. I always say that I have a hard time deciding which is my favorite - the first or the last. If they had to put Anne and Gilbert in a WWI movie (her children fought in the war, not Gilbert)... WHY oh WHY couldn't they have used storylines from Rilla of Ingleside? The Anne I know and love is a dreamer. The third movie takes her "impetuous" nature (which she outgrows by her Redmond years, mostly) and runs with it... and completely ignores the aspect of Anne that is clever, and witty, and... kindred spirit-y. The Anne in this movie is NOT of the "race that knows Joseph."I hated this movie so much that I won't even resell it to get it out of my house... then someone else would have to be subjected to it and I couldn't forgive myself for that. It just breaks my heart to have the first two movies desecrated by this 3rd... movie, for lack of a better word.DON'T see it if you love LM Montgomery as I do. Navigate away from this site and order the book Rilla of Ingleside instead. You'll be incredibly glad you did!
