Did anyone else watch the new remake? Not sure how I feel about it in general, though loved Martin Sheen as Matthew.

I recorded it, but haven't watched it yet.

I liked it, but the one with Megan Folows was better.

Watched the remake last night, and then had to go and watch the Megan Follows version to replace the newer one in my brain. Liked Martin Sheen, but like Richard Farnsworth more -- and Colleen Dewhurst IS Marilla.

Watched the new version last night. It was OK and I did like Martin Sheen's lovable character, but then I've not seen the original. Will watch that one soon so I can do a proper comparison.

Awww. I missed it. I loved watching the one made in the eighties on PBS.

I saw the new version and it was ok, was missing something. The version with Megan Follows will always be my favorite.

I watched it out of curiosity. I LOVED the original.

I liked Anne, although her freckles appearing and disappearing bothered me.
I liked this Diana better, and Marilla should be older.
This Anne is cute, Yet Megan Follows was so convincing that there are some huge shoes to fill. I am still on the fence... I will continue to watch to see how it grows.

I still haven't watched it yet, but after reading the original posts I saw pictures of the cast. Marilla does look rather young. I am not familiar with the actress. Colleen Dewhurst was amazing as Marilla. As for the original Diana, I really liked her. How was the new Gilbert Blythe?

After posting this, Tom and I watched the remake. Everyone, even Marilla, was fine. The only exception is Gilbert Blythe. He might be okay, I guess. The young man playing him was just a bit of a shock. Jonathan Crombie seemed a little more charismatic as Gilbert Blythe in the 80s version.
