Title: Beautifully filmed, BUT...
Product review: This version is beautifully filmed, the actors are wonderful, but you just can't change a classic story this much and leave true fans anything but upset. I saw this version in the theatre last year, and just re-watched it after receiving it for Christmas. I remember being disappointed then, and now remember why. Without going into detail on the liberties taken, I'll just say, there are WAY too many. Which is so disappointing as the actors may be my favorite of the versions I've seen. I don't think I will ever watch it again. I'll stick with the Masterpiece Theatre version of 2006 in which the actors weren't my favorite (though not bad at all), but the story is the truest to the the original that I've seen.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
