I think this film was awful! And it's the first time in my life I have felt let down by the producer. I know it is more accurate according to the real story, but Disney already chose not to stick to reality in the first movie, so why do it now? besides, if they really wanted to go with the real story of Pochahontas, they would have to kill her off in the end, and its not like they would ever do that, so why not just leave it to the feel-good lie? I watch Pochahontas when I was a little girl, and I loved it madly - it was the perfect love story and I cried when John Smith left in the end. And they I watched the sequel a bit scared of how that would turn out to be like. And it was horrible! how can Disney think that Pochahontas running of with another man would make a good film? I might be narrow minded, but I hated it! not the whole film, I actually found her "bodyguard" really amusing, but that ending made me cry even more than the first one, not because it was sad, but because they had managed to spoil one of their best stories...

HORRIBLE movie! Bad actors, fancy cars in the Victorian age, and a pathetic need to remove the homosexuality from the story are just some of the things that makes this an awful screen version of an amazing book. The fact that they have changed Basil Hallward into a woman is ridiculous! I found that the movie was straight forward homophobic, and I felt appalled by it. Why shoot a movie when you do not like the story? This seems weird to me. At some point I actually wondered whether or not they had casted such bad actors to ruin the real story of the book. It seemed to me that they had completely lost the point; Dorian Gray is almost never independent in the book, but in the movie he suddenly feels like taking control and arrange a party right after the death of his former love. Which brings me to the scene where he dumps her, which might be the worst piece of acting ever seen. Non of the two seems like they even know what they are talking about and a tragic love story suddenly becomes quite amusing, in a rather painful way to everyone who actually likes The Picture of Dorian Gray. Further more it seems stupid that the movie begins with a strange story about a nuclear bomb, when that hadn't even been invented yet at Dorian Gray's time. Simply just a horrible version of a really great story!
