Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story (2000)
As a stand alone movie, not that bad.
Unlike the many outraged fans on this page already, I did not read all the books before watching this film. Admittedly, this was not as good as the previous two installments. However I felt the characterization did not stray too far from their original counterparts, and I enjoy a good war-centered movie from time to time. I will admit, the relationship between Anne and Jack Garrison seemed forced and simply thrown in to create a love triangle. I thought it was unnecessary and the movie would have still been good without it. Also, there were a few questionable parts as Anne traversed Europe, but it kept me interested and there never seemed to be a dull moment. I did wish to see more of Anne and Gilbert together, especially after not seeing him very much in "Anne of Avonlea."
So if you are a die-hard Anne of Green Gables reader/fan, don't watch the movie because you'll find it's not very close to the source material.
But if you are like me and just like enjoying a good movie, then I would recommend it.
