A mutilated adaptation that not only excludes some of the most interesting themes of the original book but betrays them. The bucolic magic landscape is constructed through CGI, which erases some of its potential as a metaphor for maturity and growth. The artificial images offer expressiveness of the psychology of the characters, but also destroys the essence of a book that speaks of nature as a vitalizing effect.

It was okay. Slow-paced. I think I prefer the older version. I wouldn't watch it again.

Did we really need another adaptation of The Secret Garden? No, not really, and this film confirms that. It's not that the film is bad (although it is pretty average), it's just that it offers nothing new to audiences already familiar with the book and the other film adaptations.

I had the opportunity to watch this new production of the classic Frances Hodgson Burnett novel shortly after viewing the 1975 seven part series based on the same book. I thought it would be interesting to compare the two versions.

On the plus side for this movie version, the quality of the produ More

Having never read the book or particularly being able to remember the previous film and television versions The Secret Garden comes to me with no baggage attached. I was not expecting something I had seen or read in a cherished past. So often with cherished classic adaptations this is the film’s b More
