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.

The use of the lightning at least was good, the rest was all horrible, horrible acting, horrible adaptation, one of the worst movies I´ve watched this year.

@david0542 [spoiler] The dog is real. Its name is Fozzie and he is eight years old. Unlike other films, only Fozzie participated in the shooting. [/spoiler]

@david0542 I couldn’t tell either!! I went from thinking it was CG to real and then to Jim Henson animatronic.

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.

Would it be so bad...if they made a new film of this every few years? (This is the eleventh)

I had a good cry at the end. And, this version incorporated elements I hadn't seen in the last couple...the way they freely included [spoiler] the ghosts reminded me of an old Ingmar Bergman film, [/spoiler] it was really nice! In fact, that element brought focus to the garden as a character, and [spoiler] gave it's magic reason. Plus, the letters between the Sisters Mary finds helps resolve the relationships between Mother and Son, and Mother and Daughter. [/spoiler] Wonderful casting, acting...and, WOW, the CGI throughout and especially in the garden...it sparkled as a result!

I also enjoyed the song written and performed by Aurora!

So Colin Firth's character had no relation in blood to the girl, right? They kept calling him uncle. I thought he is her mother's brother.

Not a bad film but convinced the adaptor has never even read the book. Where is Susan Sowerby. Where is Ben Weatherstaff. Where are the main themes of the book: stuck up rich kids learn the value of life through hard work and friendship.
