Most helpful review Great Expectations

  • New Year's Eve

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Chesham, Bucks , 01 Jan 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    What better title to view on New Year's Eve - and this film had us thoroughly entertained for a couple of hours. Nevertheless, presenting such a complex novel well in so short a time is impossible, and here the actions of the characters sometimes seem irrational and unjustified as a result of the cuts.

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Not the best adaptation of this story - there are probably better versions out there. I found everything especially the acting very old fashioned. I would like to watch an updated version of this film.

  • Dull

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from London , 11 Mar 2006
    I'm afraid that this film does not begin to compare with the David Lean version. The whole thing lacks atmosphere from start to finish, with James Mason playing a very unconvincing convict.

    Sorry! It did nothing for me.
