Anne Of Green Gables - The Continuing Story Details

Utter, uttter rubish

Pish, pish, pish, pish, pish!!!!!!!! The first of this trilogy 'Anne of Green Gables' was a complete delight, stayed true to the books (as much as you can on TV), and captured the spirit perfectly. The second was where the rot began, departing from L.M Montgomery's vision, with several jarring notes, but still gave you a basic gist of who Anne was. This final 'installment' is an insult to the beautiful legacy Montgomery left us. It smacks of a terrible arrogance to ignore one of the most moving Anne books, 'Annes House of Dreams' and totally and utterly invent a story that's not even the correct era! I always quite liked the cast, but they're really struggling with this, the script is terrible, the whole thing is sloppy in the extreme. My young daughter, who has read all the Anne books and seen the first 2 of the series, refused to watch the rest of this after half an hour, and I wish I had followed her example. The whole thing smacks of a money making scheme. Complete rubbish, do yourselves a favour and read the books instead. Boo Hissssssss!!!!!

WHY!!!!!!!!

Sigh, I really should have read the other reviews before I rented this! I just do not get it. Why they felt the need to make this at all! The cast are fabulous as always but the plot is just AWFUL!!!

If you wish to preserve your image of Megan Follows Ann with an e, do not rent this. Walk away now.

However if you want to see Anne of Green Gables in a nuns habit blowing up trains while escaping from a shooting squad, then enjoy.

I am going to re watch the first two, re read the books and try TO FORGET THIS!!!

PS. I gave this 2 stars purely for the cast as they are lovely.
