Best adaptation so far...albeit minus an important Character.
27 March 2005
So far it seems to be the best adaptation. Some may wonder where is Carrie, well as true in her life, Carrie was born in Kansas. Albeit, at the time Mary was 5 and Laura 3. Then the Ingalls moved back to the Big Woods, when the buyer of their log cabin could no longer make payments.

In the books, it talks of the second journey out west. So if this is true to the story, Carrie should be born soon. Otherwise, I would be annoyed with the omittance of a character as well.

The story so far does follow the books quite well ("except for no Carrie") One hopes a screen play writer out there could adapt the story of Laura Ingalls Wilder to screen, so far there has been too many poor attempts.

The 4400 (2004–2007)
unsatisfied...i want my Sundays back.
8 August 2004
was a good idea and a good story that ended badly. great characters... great concept... and great plot... but the ending left me very unsatisfied... like starting to eat a great hamburger... at a great restaurant... but having to leave before the meal is finished... it left too many things unexplained... many story lines could have gone further...

Hard to watch with all the Flaws
4 September 2002
Its a cute movie but almost the same as the first movie.

I play hockey and its very hard to watch, numerous rules being broke, and the constant equipment changes.

Equipment costs a lot of money, and they all have new pieces of equipment in every game or practice sequence, like new helmets, gloves, breezers, not to mention all the goalie equipment helmets, leg pads and all, at least three different sets (6 for both goalies). *Note all equipment was oversized as well, the helmets should be snug, plus the straps would have to be fastened, you're not allowed to play if they are undone.

Plus their opponents shouldn't even be in the same talent/skill level (like A, B, or C) let alone AGE bracket, besides the fact that they don't have any girls on the other teams. The refs miss calls that even a non-hockey fan could catch.

The penalty shot (shoot out) was already mentioned.

And the "Switching numbers" mentioned switching jerseys would not be allowed. A goalie with out a mask, the play is whistled down, the time it would take to take off and put on the goalie pads when they switched players. Goalies in the lower levels are not allowed to cross the Blue line. Sorry this movie is So FLAWED its hard to watch!!!!

Its all part of the story
16 May 2002
All Lucas wants is to tell a story...and its not done yet.

I can watch this movie over and over again. Jar-jar does not bother me...at least he can be funny...Jake Lloyd (Anakin) SUCKS!!! NO talent He doesn't act, he just reads lines...UGH!!!! That was the only part I disliked.

Of course the movie can't included the entire book...Duh!

A movie can never replace what we see when read the books. Our imagination will create what we want to see. Everyone's vision of what should be in the movie is different. Overall, I really liked, and enjoyed the movie! Now really, do you think the whole book can actually be filmed into the movie??? NO! But they put enough in to make it enjoyable! A fun movie to see. Ron was awesome!

Don't go to it and watch it like a film critic would, because you will always find something wrong, with anything, if you look hard enough!

Heck, when I went, the audience, really enjoyed it! There was a big round of applause when it was over, cheers and everything! And the majority of the audience in attendance were adults!

Awesome movie!

This Movie was Awesome!!!!
21 November 2001
I can't think of all the right words to say how great the movie was done! The most anticipated movie in a long time, does not disappoint. I am not going to pick it apart or look for mistakes. It was a 2 and a half hour movie as it is, they can't fit everything from the book into the movie. But it was cut very well, for what wasn't included! The Casting was the best I have seen for a movie, EVER!

Enjoyable, wonderful, great, fun, humorous, I loved it, every bit!!! WELL DONE!!!!! Worth seeing over and over and over again!!!

I am not a critic, just a movie goer so I am honest, Paying the extra bucks at the theater is well worth it, even to see again! I am still in awe, WOW! Great JOB!!!!! I can't wait to own it!

Not Good
25 October 2001
I don't understand how so many could have like this movie. I don't usually act as a critic on movies, I like to watch them for the story and the entertainment value. But this movie didn't entertain, or tell a good story. American Beauty....is this really what Hollywood views life in "normal America"?? They used every stero-type they could find and crammed it into one movie; a cheating spouse, rebellious teenagers, overbearing, homo-phobic father who is really gay himself, fighting parents, killing of some sort cause some one isn't happy. It was too predictable, I didn't like this movie one bit! Kevin Spacy as as actor was okay, I am not saying that the acting was bad, I just didn't like the story it told.

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985 TV Movie)
Ewoks Rule
25 October 2001
Ewoks Rule! I liked this movie...I wish I could find it somewhere. It was neat to see the Ewoks in roles that were more main character oriented. My favorite Is Wicket! This is far from a Star Wars movie, but its ok for a nice story that has Ewoks.
