Great Expectations

I love this movie!

This is one of my favorite movies! Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow are amazing in it and the story is perfect! I read the book but didn't really like it, but I love the story. Great director!

A beautiful movie! Great directing, music and characters. I did see the original and believe this is a great movie in its own right!

Simply Beautiful film

The cinemetography was amazing, and a terrific cast. Please go see this film..............

My favorite movie of all time!

This movie is the complete package. It has beautiful cinematography, wonderful artwork, the best music, complementing every scene to perfection. The actors are amazing and the story is simplified and modernized brilliantly.

DISAPPOINTING!

Firstly, the Americanisation of this quintessentially English story ruins all of Dicken's original intended meanings. Secondly, the plot just doesn't blend well when it has been given an overly-modern setting. Thirdly, it is almost a desecration of classic English Literature to produce degenerative trite like this. Deeply disappointing, and mostly annoying.

Dissapointment

This movie dissapointed me to a great extent. These are world class actors and in the end this movie ends up to have a very low quality. I was very depressed by this movie.

Love it.

This is my favorite movie. I find it to be a beautiful rendition of raw emotions and overcoming life's obstacles.

I cried!!

This movie was just...wow!! I'm usually not into this type of movie btu my friend made me sit down and watch it becuase it was her favorite movie and this is the second time ive EVER cried in a movie it was so real like you could actually relate toit and be happy and sad with the caracters!!

A fresh look at a classic novel

Gwyneth Paltrow, as Estella, is at her seductive best in this contemporary adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, Great Expectations, and Ethan Hawk, as Fin, masterfully exploits his reputation as the intellectual, sensitive type. This remake of the 1946 movie, which more closely follows the 1860 novel, is well cast and gives a fresh look into the genius of author Charles Dickens. Although this version is subject to mixed reviews, I am one who loves both the novel and this movie. If you¿re into romantic drama, such as am I, you¿ll love it too.

Cool

It was an incredible movie. Jus twish the names hadnt been changed so much

What the...

This mordern day adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic ''Great Expectations'' is everything short of the classic novel: it is way too modern. First of all, too many of the characters names were changed. This confuses the veiwer. Secondly, Dinsmoor is too obviosly the name of a ''dismal'' person. She was not as passionately cruel as one would have expected. And Herbert...where is he? This is just way too different from the book to be considered an adaptation. And on top of that, the original novel was not as racy as Gwen aand Ethan make it out to be. This is tashy Hollywood s**t that is not even worthy of watching!

A love story? It's More

This is story of love, hope and redemption. When I find my self weary of the world and all of it's hopelessness. I put this movie on and things are not as bad as they may seem. In the end, as in all good Dickens novels, love and hope triumphs over all. A great movie, a great novel!
