Rating: Summary: Gods Nightgown!! Review: This movie is a complete disgrace to the book. It was a complete waste of 6 hours. Its not even worth the stuff it made from. If you want a true sequal, read the book. I did and it was amazing. When I watched the movie it infuriated me. It seems to me that during the entire making of this movie not one sentence was read of the book. Take my advice and dont watch the movie. Read the book instead. Its more worth your time than the movie.
Rating: Summary: fiddle dee dee Review: this movie is not anything like GWTW. I fast forwarded through most of it. If you want a happy GWTW ending then fast forward to the last 3 minutes of the movie.
Rating: Summary: Complete Injustice to Gone With The Wind Review: After reading the book Scarlett, I was excited to see the movie based on it. Or, well, it's supposed to based on the book. I watched this movie in complete horror as it remade the entire storyline of Scarlett. All of the main plot in the book disappears in the movie; Fenton takes the main stage, leaving Scarlett's maturity and Cat completely in the background. If you are really interested, read the book instead, it does Gone With the Wind much better juctice than this movie.
Rating: Summary: This movie did "Gone With the Wind" justice! Review: As a HUGE fan of "Gone with the Wind", I love this TV mini-series. I remember watching it when it first came on in 1994 and I liked it back then and I like it now. Joanne Whalley-Kilmer and Timothy Dalton did "Rhett" and "Scarlett" justice. Scarlett did grow up. She learned in the sequel that money is not the most important thing and she stopped being selfish.This sequel did the original justice. I was not disappointed at all!!!! It's not that bad...it's not bad at all!!!!
Rating: Summary: No word to describe how bad this movie is! Review: IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A MOVIE BASED ON A BOOK AND NOT FOLLOW IT AT ALL WATCH THIS BOOK! In the words of Clark Gable in GWTW this movie was "Awful, Just awful!" It had no right to be ever associated with the great work of Margaret Mitchell that many generations have grown to love. My mom first shared GWTW with me when I was about 8, and I enjoyed it even then. Last Year in 8th grade I read the book and gradually became an obsessive fan, or Windie as we call oursleves. I checked Scarlett out of the library and read it and I enjoyed it although it did not compare in its magnitude to GWTW. Then my friend (who is also a fan) decided to rent the movie and we were completely confused as to where the ending came from. You cannot like this movie if you are a true windie. If this movie deserves a star it is for the comedical aspect- it made me laugh at how pathetic it was!
Rating: Summary: Not GWTW, but still pretty good Review: Okay Gone With the Wind fans, we all know that Scarlett can't be compared to GWTW. We know that Joanne Whalley and Timothy Dalton can't be compared to Vivan Leigh and Clark Gable. The books don't even have the same author, for crying out loud. But inspite of these facts, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I believe that despite the fact that they're not Leigh and Gable, Whalley and Dalton have excellent chemistry. This movie is based upon more of the relationship between Rhett and Scarlett than the politics of the day (except for the Irish movement.) But as another reveiwer stated, this movie has a much more satisfying ending.So if you enjoyed GWTW, I urge you to at least watch if not buy Scarlett. Hey, even if you're a stickler for minute details, you'll at least know what happened to your favorite characters.
Rating: Summary: i loved this movie i watch it at least once a week Review: i loved gwtw but this movie is in some way better. i love the happy ending. i have not read the whole book but from what i have read the movie is much better. i know many books that are turned into movies and under go changes for effect. i think they did a marvolus job on this movie and would recomend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: A GWTW Fan says, "This is a no buy!" Review: I did not like this movie at all. I am a loyal GWTW fan and after reading "Scarlett", the book I couldn't wait to see the movie. But I was thouroughly disappointed by this film. Both the characters of Scarlett and Rhett change from what their original personalities were. Take my advice and DON'T buy this movie!
Rating: Summary: An Okay movie Review: This movie was okay.It was not what I exspected but okay.If you like soap operas this may be for you.I loved Gone with the Wind,it was a classic.Scarlett really should not have been made because Margret Mitchell didn't finish it and the original cast was gone and too good to replace.My advice is to see Gone With the Wind and if you are ready for Scarlett go ahead but it may be a disappointment.Oh and watch the movie then read the book Scarlett because it will be a bigger disappointmen since the book was quite different than the movie.Hope you like it!
Rating: Summary: OMG!!!TRASH!!INCREDIBLY BAD!! Review: GWTW the original was fabulous. GWTW was the best movie ever made. And the sequel, Scarlett, didn't even come close to doing justice to it. Being a HUGE GWTW fan, I both read and watched with horror while this sequel played out. Quite frankly, it's absolute garbage. It doesn't even deserve the title "Sequel". The language is just not authentic, and the Southern accents (notably Joanne Whalley-Kilmer's) just don't come off. The plot is completely unbelivable, and the sordid events in the 2nd half of the mini-series deviate entirely from the book. Disgusting! How can people say that trash of this kind measures up to GWTW? It just doesn't. I don't think that any sequel to GWTW will ever be made that satisfies the true GWTW fans, because Gable and Leigh were the true Rhet and Scarlett and they will never make a sequel. I thought that it would be great to see a sequel, and waited eagerly for it's release, but after seeing it, perhaps we should just leave it as it stood at the end of GWTW - Rhett left Scarlett, FINITO.
