Best movie of this year hands down!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

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.

I'm an avid Anne lover and adore the first two movies....I've attempted watching the Continuing Story in the past but could never get past the first 10, sickening, minutes.Since it's been years since my last crack at it, I thought I'd give it another try tonight - but oh, how I'm regretting it. Seeing an additional 30 minutes into the movie has only polluted Anne & Gil & Green Gables further!Everything is off in this movie. Familiar and beloved characters are rendered complete strangers. Anne's voice is unnervingly different & gravelly, and both Anne and Gil look...awful (especially Megan, I hate to say it...she's a natural beauty but it looks like she had botched plastic surgery before this movie or something...her mouth and chin are so tight and strained looking)...sorry, but it's true :(As other reviewers have pointed out the time-line is all wrong. But worse than that, it all feels so thin and empty.Bottom line: It's disturbing for Anne lovers to even catch a glimpse of. Steer clear - don't let your curiosity get the better of you!

I feel I must start this review with the caveat that I am not a fan of the Anne books and I find that Sullivan's films do a fine job of expressing the sentiment of the books and capturing their lively characters while escaping their outdated, flowery prose. The Continuting Story has a startling impact on viewers who loved Anne, Gilbert, and the many other familiar faces of Avonlea in the first two films by placing these characters in harm's way. Sullivan shakes the gentle world of Avonlea with the spectre of WWI in a manner that expertly mirrors the real experiences of Islanders during that terrible conflict. He deepens his exploration of Anne and Gilbert's relationship and demonstrates how their love and commitment can transcend the devastation and despair of the battlefields of France. This is a mature, impactful film that radiates respect for the experience of WWI troops and their loved ones at home. I respect fans' of the books sadness at the disconnect between this film and the literature. But as a film, considered independently from the books, The Continuing Story is truly wonderful to watch.

While entertaining, this film was disappointing for a trilogy.The innocence of youth has long been forgotten with the advent of World War 1. Anne is thrust into a clock and dagger like atmosphere as the story takes on an espionage subject matter. The problem is that we really don't know for sure where the espionage is coming from. Is that newspaper editor the traitor that he has been made out to be by that woman society gossip writer?It's also hard to believe that the baby would recognize Anne. After all, he was just a baby when they were separated.To just say that the Colleen Dewhurst character died was not giving the part much justice at all.Parts 1 and 2 were so much better. Blame Part 3 on World War 1.
