In a departure from L.M. Montgomery's book series, this third TV movie jumps ahead to World War I and puts Anne and her beloved Gilbert smack in the middle of it. Instead of marrying Gilbert after her teaching days--as she does in the books--Anne spends a disillusioning year with him in New York City, and then the couple quickly marries before the good doctor ships out to France. (In the book Rilla of Ingleside, Anne's sons go to war and her youngest daughter is separated from her sweetheart.) Impetuous as ever, Anne joins the Red Cross and crosses the pond to track down her husband when his letters are returned unread. What follows is an adventure that takes her through battle zones--where the bodies pile up faster than you can say Saving Private Ryan--and on to London with a half-orphaned baby, her best friend's injured husband, and a tangle of international intrigue. Fans of the 10-book series may balk at the divergences and the fact that very little time is spent on Prince Edward Island. But the book's unrestrained romanticism and unapologetic sentimentality remain intact, as well as the surviving cast of the prior two movies, most notably Megan Follows as Anne and Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert. This movie, produced in 2000, clocks in at 185 minutes and is suitable for ages 9 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 My kids and I loved it!!!!! January 2, 2009
Mom of 6 good kids
It kept me and my kids on the edge of our seats! I don't let my kids watch war movies but this one was very clean and very realistic. It was able to show the horror of the war without being all graphic and gory. I would have to say it's almost my favorite installment of the three.
It's not exactly like the first two but I think it's a great movie. I don't know what fans expected, a ray of sunshine during the first world war? Anne had to grow up and I loved her character in this one more then in the second one for sure. She is a woman now and defiantly acts like one. I thought the acting and directing was great too. My 14 year old son is a real movie critic and he was riveted. My 10 year old girl is a diehard fan of Anne and she loved it to.

It was a wonderful movie, It was so life like. It had scenes where Diana and Anne both get married at seperate times. Anne's was a hurried wedding as Gil has to hurry off to war. The war scences are full of anguish and suspence, real life like. Diana's husband is off to war too and Anne is on the field looking for Gil when she finds Diana's husband wounded,he has to lose his arm.Anne gets them both to safety and works a job while Diana's husband adjusts,then Anne finds him safe passage home. During Anne's continued search to find Gil,who has been taken as a prisioner to doctor the enemies wounded,Anne runs into this famous author she had worked for in New York. He has taken on a French wife and they have a little boy together. He is trying to get them back to the states safe. He has to seperate from the woman and his child to later meet them. While Anne is trying to get the woman and child to safety the woman is fatally wounded, leaving Anne with the child. Anne stuggles to keep she and the child safe and alive until she is contacted by the father. She finds Gil and the father/author close together. While the four of them are on a train headed for home the father is shot and killed leaving the little boy for Anne and Gil to raise as their own. Of course there is much more, this is just some of the high points. It was a wonderful movie. And my movies came in great shape and the delivery was very fast! Very satisfied customer!
 WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! November 2, 2008

this movie is TOTALLY OFF! and it skips a huge amount of time. the great world war (WWI) doesn't take place until Anne's kids are old enough to fight in tha war and get married. not when she and Gilbert are. so this story has nothing to do with that of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. if you've never read teh books, it's a pretty good story. b ut if you have, don't bother. i wont even let anyone in my family buy it for me even though they know it will complete my set. don't bother with it if you are a true L.M. Montgomery fan.
 unimaginably bad October 22, 2008

I bought this despite the bad reviews because I thought it was impossible for an Anne movie to be that bad, but they managed to pull it off. Not only do they burn down Green Gables but they create chemistry between Anne and another man while things with Anne and Gil are cold. Come on people...all we want is a good chick flick with a nice ending!!
Sorry, I thought it was wonderful! September 26, 2008

While this 3rd movie in the Anne of Green Gables series was very different---and I did miss the quaintness of the others---I still thought it was wonderful, just in a different way. There is all the warmth, and it has the feel of what happens when you grow up and leave the comfortable things of childhood, while still keeping the wonderful morals and warmth of the tale, and in keeping with Anne's character.
