Summary: Accurate But Boring
Review: This is probably the most accurate version of "A Tale Of Two Cities" but, it's the worst version to own or watch. Sticking strickly to the plot of the story and historical facts this movie has no spark or passion. It's an easy out though for the teens to lazy to read the book for English.
The movie is extremely long which is part of the problem and the acting is horribly done.I found myself straining to stay awake. The script is something out of the Middle Ages with no modern word adaptations it's hard to imagine any of the characters are "real." The storyline is straight out the book with no hollywood adaptations this causing part of the problem-- you don't get any sparks between Lucy and Carton- or dialouge. It focuses more on the war and hardly anything on the romance or passion in the story.
All in all this movie in my opinon butchered one of the classic love stories in literature. Tale of Two Cities fans- we know buy the classic it's always better!

Summary: THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU HOPED IT WAS.....
Review: When this was first alerted to me, it was supposed to be the Ronald Colman (1935) A TALE OF TWO CITIES. When it was delivered, it was 1989 BBC.Don't waste your time on this one - hold out for the definitive Charles Dickens masterpiece from 1935.
