8/10
The rest of these people are ridiculous

I'm not going to say that this was the best movie of all time or that it went on perfectly with the story.

Much like Harry Potter as some defined I don't imagine this went with the books all that well. But personally, and perhaps I'm alone in this, I found it to be a great step for the character.

Anne was always a powerful capable individual and she had so much unrestrained personality that needed to be explored further. Some of the things that occurred in the third installment (the nun thing) were a bit out of whack, I'll admit. But the concept of what she was doing really defined what her character was in my opinion.

She set out to find the love that she pushed aside for the great majority of both the prior movies. And she ran farther and worked harder than anything in order to get that back. It really defines how she started and where she came from and persevered through it all. And became this powerful woman and kept herself so capably.

No, it may not go along with the original story. And that is always sad.

But in that case define it as "Horrible in relation to the book".

Calling it the worst movie ever, or the most horrible film, is both a lie and a disrespectful statement. Those who cannot make that distinction need to seriously reconsider their standing on the final installment. It's a wonderful movie. Just not in the original series of events. Minus the third one the Harry Potter series has been fantastic! Unless you were looking from the standpoint of the book.

So, yes, the continuing story of Anne of Green Gables is a great film with beautiful acting and a compelling story. Megan Follows once more delivers an outstanding performance as Anne Shirley Blythe. And the whole series is in total, a classic and worth owning.
