Great Expectations

Pros: clean and classic

Cons: prisoner scenes could be a bit unsettling for smaller folk

The Bottom Line: Great movie, more than I Expected

Review: 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 ...

Pros: acting, story

Cons: none for me to see

Review: 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...

Pros: beautiful. This movie is the embodiment of enduring love.

Cons: Nah.

The Bottom Line: this is a wonderfully beautiful movie. words can't really give it justice though, so just go out and see it.

Review: 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....

Pros: good actors, beautiful scenery and shots, surprising storyline

Cons: n/a

Review: oh wow, what a semi-perfect lovestory between to beautiful people, gwyneth paltrow and eathan hawke, to good and to bizarre to be true.....

i started watching 'great expectations" with great expectations and during the movie they...

Pros: in a word, beautiful.

Cons: May be a bit slow-moving for some

Review: 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...

Pros: Gweneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawk are great!

Cons: The movie was long.

Review: 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...

Pros: Great Acting, Plot, Scenery, Clothing

Cons: may not be suitable for children

Review: 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,...

Pros: Great plot, actors, and nudity.

Cons: It starts out a little slow.

Review: This is the movie adaptation of Dickens' Great Expectations book. It is starring Ethan Hawke, Gwenyth Paltrow, and Robert Deniro. It is a brilliantly written love story that follows the main character played by Hawke through his life as a young boy to...

Pros: Magnificent

Cons: Weird in some parts

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Sets, plot, beautiful cast and costumes.

Cons: Ethan Hawke is eye-candy - in a film with DeNiro, of all people!

The Bottom Line: At home, alone, nothin' but me and The Fluffy Kitty. No man, no phone, rain on the windowpane. Saved by "Great Expectations"!!!!

Review: 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...
