It was a bit like watching Anne of Green Gables on speed. The original made me feel as though I were back in time, living life at a slower pace. In this remake the story line is blurred, sometimes altered to the point of losing continuity. Not sure how much my granddaughters would get from it. I will stick with the original series (even though it's VHS) and the books for my Anne of Green Gables fix. Like the actors...the acting, not so much.

It wasn't much like the book,the actors were speaking their lines super fast as if it were an anime movie,several key character traitswere missed,and it seems like the ending was changed to make the movie more dramatic. It'll never be as good as than the original movie,but they still could've done it a lot better. But there were some parts that were pretty funny,which is why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1.

Even though I haven't seen this one. I won't watch it bc of the fact is that they should have left the original anne of green gables alone. In the original anne the actor Jonathan Crombie that played Gilbert Blythe died in real life. He was one of my all time favorite actors that I miss a lot now. And honestly I really don't think the kid that plays him in this movie will do as good of a job like Jonathan did. Jonathan set a high standard when he played Gil. Girls loved him growing up.
