Sat, 30 May 2009 16:43:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author momofmichael - As an aspiring writer I like to read a wide variety of books, and think it is important to read many of the "classics". So, when I had an opportunity to see the movie and spend my reading time on other books, I took it. I was a bit...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author whaler66 - When I first saw "Great Expectations" at the tail end of summer in 1998, my rating was a rock solid two stars. You might say, I was totally incensed by screenwriter Mitch Glazer's overly sentimental ending. Upon first viewing, I found said ending to...

Sun, 22 Feb 2004 15:44:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sigriet - This movie is my favorite movie of all time. It's a modern day version of Dicken's novel Great Expectations, there are some differences between novel and movie, but this is the first time i say see the movie, it's better than the book itself. Much more...

Sat, 6 Oct 2001 21:19:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Setsuna02 - Great Expectations was a beautiful movie. I liked it more than the book. It reminded me of my own first kisses, and how much surprise was there, and how much feeling. Unlike most movies, it really captured the emotions involved and the beauty of love...

mvie mu-1081200: Nice, Very Nice... Someone Please Give Me Mr. Dickens' Phone Number Right Now!

Thu, 4 Oct 2001 10:04:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kuuleimomi - Unconventional adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations became just another attempt to interpret classics in a new “modern” way. Standing in line with Romeo + Juliet, Cruel Intentions, O, etc., it meets some expectations, but urges to read the...

Tue, 2 Oct 2001 15:12:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thom413 - One of the drawbacks of dating a cop is the occasional lonely night snuggled up with the VCR and the cat. This movie made such an evening downright enjoyable for me.

As an adaptation of the Dickens classic, Great Expectations...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 911Hottie911 - This movie is wonderful! I've seen it 5 or more times and I will see it so many times more. This movie is about an old love obsessed woman who takes many years making Fin (Ethan Hawk) fall in love with Estella (Gweneth Paltrow) just to see Estella...

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 15:03:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bansidhe - The problem with having a title like "Great Expectations" is that the when the film fails utterly...there is just too much irony involved!

I'm not one of those people that feels that a film-from-book should necessarily be obedient...

mvie mu-1081200: Don't Expect Much

Fri, 19 May 2000 16:01:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lskrzyniarz - I wanted to see this film in the theater because I was intrigued by the trailer which had music and visuals quite different from the usual preview trash. However, the horrible reviews made me think twice. And boy, I'm glad I did. Watching a bad movie for...

Tue, 9 May 2000 14:42:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rohlkris - The colorful and vibrant scenes of the novel written by Charles Dickens was once again beautifully portrayed on screen. Starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke, Great Expectations is romance on the edge. From the beginning of Estella's (Paltrow) life,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sucre70 - I can't recall a time that a movie has amazed me in the way Great Expectations did. I couldn't help but be drawn in, more so by the cinematography than perhaps the story itself.

I haven't ever attended a film class or even critiqued a movie...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SniperHockey - The updated film version of the classic Dickens book was surprisingly decent. I wasn't quite sure how the transition from novel to movie would go, but it worked out quite well. The concept was good--setting the story in recent times instead of...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author zorak163 - Great Expectations (1998) is an interesting and emotionally charged film. Brought into modern times, Dickens' basic storyline and morals prevail in this latest screen adaptation.

In all of the ways that this film succeeds, however, it also...

Wed, 1 Mar 2000 22:54:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BobLeep1 - This amiable remake of Charles Dickens’ classic story has moments of greatness, but never came close to meeting my expectations. At times, this film borders on being downright ridiculous.

A “boy” artist falls in love with an uppity rich girl,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidi9 - This updated film version of the classic novel is incredible. I enjoyed it completely, but I can also understand why someone would feel differently about this movie. I rented it on my own, then re-rented it to watch with my husband. I loved it even...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jenpod - I feel like I am supposed to love this movie; a classic story and great actors, but it did not meet my expectations. Maybe I just expected too much.
