DVD Reviews of Anne Of Green Gables - The Continuing StoryDVD Review: Glad to Get... Summary: 5 StarsThis movie came in perfect shape, also....tapes ran fine and the cover was gorgeous. I was very happy that I could get these movies to complete my set. Thanks.
DVD Review: NO STAR OPTION PLEASE! Summary: 1 StarsIt's been several years since I watched this movie on PBS for the first time. I can't tell you how excited I was to hear that the final part of the AGG Trilogy was finally here! I even convinced my husband to watch as he knew how much I loved the first two movies. Til this day, I still cringe at the memory of that first viewing. WHAT A TERRIBLE MOVIE!!! For some strange reason, Kevin Sulliven chose to completely abandon the books and concocted this cheap melodrama that has the most random and ridiculous story line. How completely tragic. My husband was also in complete disbelief at how bad this final movie was; he felt very sorry for me.
DVD Review: Just doesn't make sense Summary: 1 StarsAn interesting observation I made, being a big fan of the "Avonlea" series, was that Kevin Sullivan addressed Anne and Gilbert's relationship when the Gilbert character appeared on the episode to attend Marilla Cuthberts funeral. There was mention that Anne was unable to attend because she and some of their brood was ill. So why would Kevin Sullivan write a totally different and unbelievable story in this third installment, in which the characters don't even fit into the time period? I'm sure he must asked himself that question as well. The fact he flunked on "Anne of Green Gables, The Continuing Story" production doesn't take away from the fact he produced two wonderful Anne of Green Gables productions and a great family friendly TV series based on Avonlea. "Wind at my Back" based on the Depression is also a great series.
DVD Review: The Best Part is When It's Over Summary: 1 StarsI 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.
DVD Review: My darling Anne Summary: 3 StarsI never want to give up a chance to be with Anne and Gil. I want more.
Description of Anne Of Green Gables - The Continuing StoryStudio: Sullivan Home Entertmnt Release Date: 09/26/2006 In a departure from L.M. Montgomery's book series, this third TV movie jumps ahead to World War I and puts Anne and her beloved Gilbert smack in the middle of it. Instead of marrying Gilbert after her teaching days--as she does in the books--Anne spends a disillusioning year with him in New York City, and then the couple quickly marries before the good doctor ships out to France. (In the book Rilla of Ingleside, Anne's sons go to war and her youngest daughter is separated from her sweetheart.) Impetuous as ever, Anne joins the Red Cross and crosses the pond to track down her husband when his letters are returned unread. What follows is an adventure that takes her through battle zones--where the bodies pile up faster than you can say Saving Private Ryan--and on to London with a half-orphaned baby, her best friend's injured husband, and a tangle of international intrigue. Fans of the 10-book series may balk at the divergences and the fact that very little time is spent on Prince Edward Island. But the book's unrestrained romanticism and unapologetic sentimentality remain intact, as well as the surviving cast of the prior two movies, most notably Megan Follows as Anne and Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert. This movie, produced in 2000, clocks in at 185 minutes and is suitable for ages 9 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs
