Movie Reviews of Dombey and Son

Movie Review: Good but hope to see a remake
Summary: 3 Stars

Having not read the book yet, I enjoyed this movie. Dickens is a master. I discovered that it was filmed in the 80's and I hope that it is redone by Andrew Davies. Anyone having seen the early version of Bleak House and then the version done by Andrew Davies, will understand what I mean. Same story, huge difference in production values and acting.

Movie Review: Jewel BUT
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a jewel except for the ending. Should of been more complete. Leaves you wondering where the final chapter was -- and there isn't one.

Movie Review: Not worth watching
Summary: 2 Stars

This is the worst adaptation of literature for TV that I have seen, and I have seen many. The acting is comical, when it is not wooden (Mr. Domby). It seems more like a high school play that was filmed by a parent than it does any kind of decent TV production. And it goes on for 10 episodes like that. The end is so simplistically trite that I felt cheated after putting in so much time watching the rest of the story.
