Movie Reviews of The Scarlet Letter
Movie Review: Gary Oldman!...
Summary: 4 Stars
As a huge Gary Oldman fan, of course i enjoyed the movie. Though it deviates from the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, which is not neccarily a bad thing mind you, it still holds itself together rather well. Gary Oldman's acting is the highlight of the film, and though Demi Moore etc, all do a decent job, Gary Oldman shines out is a touching and fresh take on Arthur Dimsdale. Whereas in the novel i felt less of a connection to the characters, by the end of the film i was in tears, though the ending of the novel is better-though no so happy, I still feel that the film version works very well, keeping somewhat true to the novel, and offering up a perhaps more entertaining take on the Hawthorne classic.Movie Review: True to the Classic Story? No.... Enjoyable Film? Yes
Summary: 4 Stars
Some of our resident reviewers take life much too seriously. It states up front that the story is 'freely based' on the Hawthorne story. And so what of it? The film was photographed beautifully, the cast is good and I was entertained. What more is there? The only thing that disappoints me about the DVD is that it's full screen. I had the laserdisc of this movie years ago and it was Panavision 2.35:1. I'm hoping they'll come out with a Blu Ray version as really like the movie. Purist can whine about something more constructive.Movie Review: Definately worth a watch
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this film...i admit though i have not read the book which may be one of the reasons i like it...i cant say...they didnt put this in...and that shouldnt be in there...ect ect. And...well...i'm a sucker for anything with Gary Oldman in it so i had to see it. A friend borrowed it off me and she said it was fantastic (and shes not into this sort of genre) so that must say something.Movie Review: Good Memories
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this movie because it brought back so many memories that I just had to have it. For anyone interested in forbidden love and twisted mistrust then I would consider this movie for thenMovie Review: The Scarlet Letter
Summary: 4 Stars
I went to see The Scarlet Letter twice in one week!!! Just loved Gary Oldman in this role. You will fall in love with him too. Brilliant and savage tale. Not to be missed.
