Pathetic attempt at trying to capture the magic of the 93 version, 13 September 2005

I would give this a 0 if the voter let me. This film is a pathetic attempt to capture the magic of the 93 version with Kate Maberly. I've been a big fan of Secret Garden my whole life, and think I was tricked into watching this because I thought it was a Maberly sequel.

Aside from the fact that it is not, there are many things wrong with this movie and nothing right. The story is dull, the characters lifeless, and the acting half-hearted. No one seems to even care that they are there, there's absolutely none of the heart from the Kate Maberly film. It's quite pathetic, and the reason you've never heard of this film is because it is quite that bad. It only serves to remind you how wonderful the Maberly version was, and how much they should have left it alone.

I thought it had Kate when I first rented it,because the picture on the front looks much like the other version, and was so disappointed and disgusted with it I was quite upset I was stupid enough to rent it.

Serves to show, never mess with a perfect picture, by giving it a sequel or prequel or whatever it is they do these days. I know Maberly's film wasn't the original, but I think her version was by far the best Garden, and as far as I'm concerned, this film doesn't even deserve to have the name Secret Garden anywhere in the title.
