Scarlett
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend This soapy but highly watchable television "sequel" to Gone with the Wind, the most popular Hollywood movie ever made, has nothing to do with memories of a vanished antebellum South. But it does end up in Ireland, where the determined Scarlett O'Hara Butler (played with frosty passion by Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) turns hard times into an opportunity by buying the ancestral home of her family. Before that happens, however, Scarlett fights to win back… Product details and pricing info |

- ScarlettI felt that this mini-series was very enjoyable and carried Scarlett's character and spirit fairly well. She is not as spirited as the original but she will do for the time being. Cast was well chosen for their parts. Jean Smart needed more time on the screen. I think Margaret Mitchell would have approved of what has been done to her characters. I am replacing my VHS collection with DVDs as the VHS films start to act up.

- One Word: Bad.
- I'll admit that I've only seen this film once and that was a few years ago, but it's left a lasting impression. Firstmost, the storyline of the film was very...let's say different, than the novel it was supposed to be painted after. Now the novel itself TO ME, didn't keep true to Gone With The Wind, but that's just my opinion. This movie however was 10 times worse. So many things happened in the movie that didn't happen in the book. And characters changed...and if I'm not mistaken, my most favorite scene at the end where they are looking for 'Kat' and Rhett finds out that she's his daughter...wasn't in there. Walking away on a hill? NO! Give me hiding on a hay loft. psh.
And the actors themselves omg. You got used to seeing Timothy Dalton as Rhett, but Joanne Whalley just didn't look the part to me. Her face was too thin, she was too thin...Scarlett was supposed to be curvy if you follow Vivien Leigh. I always say that George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones are the Rhett and Scarlett of our time, and no one else. - 2007-05-08, 1 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Rhett and Scarlett live again!
- I had such a good time watching this film! Scarlett grows up and finds a life for herself, with many dangers in between!
Joann Whalley-Kilmer and Timothy Dalton are very believable as Scarlett and Rhett.
Don't listen to the nay-sayers about this movie..judge for yourself! - 2007-04-03, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- If you love Gone With The Wind, you'll love Scarlett
- I am a big fan of Gone With The Wind, so naturally I enjoyed watching Scarlett. This movie kind of takes up where GWTW leaves off, with the death of Scarlett's good friend, Melanie Wilkes, the wife of Scarlett's former object of desire, Ashley. Once again, Scarlett can't help but make a spectacle of herself as she comes to the aid of Ashley, who is distraught over his wife's death, to the point that Scarlett and Ashley's sister get into an argument at the gravesite. From there, and throughout the movie, it's one adventure after another for one of literature's most beloved characters as she goes from Atlanta, to Charleston, to Ireland and even England, while at the same time harboring her undying love for her ex-husband Rhett Butler, who has since moved on and remarried to a lady from his hometown of Charleston. By the end of the movie, I think you have a better idea of just who Scarlett is and you see, not to give too much of the movie away, an evolution in this character as she discovers her roots and goes about restoring and forming family ties. This movie is filled with intrigue, bits of humor, romance, and even murder, and you'll love every minute. Joanne Whalley does an excellent job of reprising the role of Scarlett O'Hara Butler, and Timothy Dalton, one of the sexiest men alive, in my opinion, brings vivacity and spark to Rhett Butler that would make Clark Gable proud. The only drawback to some folks would be the length of the film -nearly 6 hours I believe. But, Gone With the Wind is a long movie as well, so if you can sit through that, you can sit through this, or watch it in parts. If you buy this movie, I promise you will like it.
