Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Maddyclassicfilms The sequel shows Anne Shirley(Megan Follows) as a young woman who is working at her local school on Prince Edward Island and helping her friend Diana(Schuyler Grant)prepare for her upcoming wedding. Anne is struggling with her feelings for close friend Gilbert Blythe(Jonathan Crombie).Anne meets a wealthy man who is staying at a local summer house called Captain Morgan Harris(Frank Converse)however the two don't really get to know each other until Anne moves to take up teaching at a private Girls School somewhere else in the country and finds that he is the father of one of her students.Anne's friendship with the Captain enables him to change from a slightly reserved and strict man, to one who enjoys life and is a much more open man.This is just as good as Anne of Green Gables and all the cast return.Also featuring Dame Wendy Hiller as Morgan's prickly mother Mrs Harris and Colleen Dewhurst returning as Marilla Cuthbert enchanting and uplifting this is well worth watching.
edwagreen Wonderful sequel to the 1985 original film. In this film, Anne has become a teacher and faces the challenges of classroom life. Gilbert loves her dearly. She wants to be friends with him, but expects more from life. As the film went on, I was thinking that Anne would wind up as another Helen Trent.This very good film really soars when Anne accepts a teaching job at a Womens College. Here we see class distinctions working at their absolute work. The Pringle Family controls the town and are nothing more than egotistical snobs looking to make Anne miserable. For college girls to act like that was unbelievable. I thought I was back in junior high school.Besides Ms. Follows and Jonathan Crombie(as Gilbert), there are excellent performances especially by Ms. Dunsmore as Miss Brooks, who is afraid of life and is apparently stewing in her own misery. She etches an unforgettable character as a tyrant of a principal out to get Anne at any cost. Even when Anne proves herself worthy, Miss Brooks is as keenly jealous as ever. It takes the picture for Anne to win Miss Brooks over. Naturally, Brooks has a breakout scene where she declares her hatred for teaching. Wait a minute. She is out of the classroom as the school principal.The late Dame Wendy Hiller is fabulous here as a tyrannical Mrs. Harris, making life miserable for all around her, especially her long suffering daughter. Anne has that natural talent to win her over.The picture is fabulous because it shows us what basically good people can accomplish.
IceBoxWoman I know I could never choose between Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea, because in my mind they're just one long epic on the life of Anne Shirley.This story is so incredibly amazing. Not only does it give you the heartbreak of growing up and changing, but also Anne's unique personality that prevents her from fitting in, and the agony of Gil and Anne's "will they or won't they?" It's what's kept me watching all these years, knowing I can still relate to some aspect of it.I always thought the acting was absolutely wonderful all around! Megan Follows and all the others really become their onscreen characters. The costumes make me wish that *I* had lived back in the 1900's. My only problem with the movie is the middle. I find myself bored with Anne's romance with Morgan. I'm sure most people want her to be with Gilbert anyway, and I would have liked it if the movie could have concentrated more on that.I never really warmed to any of the characters in Kingsport. The movie would have done better to concentrate of Avonlea, or at least make that more of the focal point of the movie.Still, the movie is wonderful, and I would recommend it to anyone! Anne's character is most lovable, as well as Diana, Gilbert, Marilla and even Mrs. Lynde.My rating: 10!!
kromar I don't really understand the unsatisfaction. You had better blame him because of Anne 3. Poor Megan not even looks older than Anne could have been in 1915 and in 1919, but looks older than herSELF, also. She misses proper make-up first of all, proper lights during filming (2 or 3 scenes are only perfect) and last but not least good sentences. (Just see the page of memorable sentences! The first two parts have dozens, it only has three of them!) The story, well, it's even worse. So I must say, wether Anne 2 is true to the novels or not, it is a whole, compact story and is NOT boring, this sequel is only his own interpretation. After all, we've been waiting for the very last scene since Gilbert first called her 'Carrots'! Could you wait months for that moment? So I ask you: isn't that what we wanted?
