10/10
After 14 years of viewing - Still great!!

I know I could never choose between Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea, because in my mind they're just one long epic on the life of Anne Shirley.

This story is so incredibly amazing. Not only does it give you the heartbreak of growing up and changing, but also Anne's unique personality that prevents her from fitting in, and the agony of Gil and Anne's "will they or won't they?" It's what's kept me watching all these years, knowing I can still relate to some aspect of it.

I always thought the acting was absolutely wonderful all around! Megan Follows and all the others really become their onscreen characters. The costumes make me wish that *I* had lived back in the 1900's. My only problem with the movie is the middle. I find myself bored with Anne's romance with Morgan. I'm sure most people want her to be with Gilbert anyway, and I would have liked it if the movie could have concentrated more on that.

I never really warmed to any of the characters in Kingsport. The movie would have done better to concentrate of Avonlea, or at least make that more of the focal point of the movie.

Still, the movie is wonderful, and I would recommend it to anyone! Anne's character is most lovable, as well as Diana, Gilbert, Marilla and even Mrs. Lynde.

My rating: 10!!
