Was This Remake Necessary?
It seems like every year we get a new film based on the classic take by Charles Dickens, Great Expectations. There are so many versions, it is pointless to make another one. Apparently people disagreed though as we have another update, this time starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes. I adored the 1998 version even though it was critically panned. I cannot say the same about this movie. The performances were excellent and it has a majestic scope, but the narrative is just a little uneven for my taste.

By now, we should all know the plot to the film. But in case this was someone’s first big-screen adventure into the story, Mike Newell’s film is about a boy named Pip who is given a chance at a gentleman’s life in London thanks to a mysterious benefactor.

As said before, the film does have excellent performances namely by our two British veterans in Carter and Fiennes. Carter makes an excellent Miss Havisham and she is delightfully weird, just like in most Tim Burton movies. Fiennes also gives all he got as the convict Pip meets in the beginning. Jeremy Irvine, known for his role in War Horse, does a solid job and same goes for Holliday Granger as Estella, Pip’s romantic interest. I also thought Jason Flemying was excellent as Joe, and the scenes between Joe and Pip were quite powerful.

Overall, the latest Great Expectations remake tries it very best to succeed thanks to the lavish production design and it excellent performances, but it fails to live up to previous films. It is certainly not bad, but it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. That being said, it still is good to watch. They do a good job in recreating nineteenth century London and the countryside. It shows how different life was compared to today. Not a bad film, but not a great one either. Perhaps no more adaptations in the near future, studios. I rate this film 7/10.

Poor Executions
This is one of Dickens most beloved novels, but it always seems to flail about in the unmoving to just straight up disappointing area when adapted to the screen, and this lavish, expensive, new telling of it seems to sadly fall into the same category.

The story is supposed to be about the life and struggles of Phillip Pirrip (or Pip) as he wrestles with who he is, who he was born to be and who he desperately wants to be. And perhaps it is this overly dramatic and meticulous plot of the novel that ultimately dooms any and all film versions of it. This movie does try to show you his character struggles, but it bounces between that plot line and the should-be romance between the determined Pip and the lost Estella. You see the two interact briefly between the other storyline and you get the feeling that the writers wanted their romance to be the main attraction of the film but were overruled.

The acting is as inconsistent as the story it is trying to tell. Jeremey Irvine (Pip) falters and leaves you underwhelmed with his portrayal of the somewhat selfish character. He spectacularly looks the part but, try as he might, just cannot compete with the far more superior actors he was cast alongside of. Where his costars go for subtlety he goes for blatant and the clashing portrayals leave you worn out and tired. Holliday Grainger was perhaps the only person in Hollywood who could have given just the right amount of emotion to the cold and calculating character that is Estella. Her personification of a character so loathed and adored as she was radiant. With her at the reigns of the character you could understand why Pip would forgo friendship and nature for wealth. Their chemistry was spotty at best; sometimes you believed their desire for one another, but other times it felt forced and it didn’t seem like they wanted each other at all. Boham Carter was a good Havisham but her flair for the dramatic made it nearly impossible for you to sympathize with the cruel and frantic woman.

Even to those of you who know nothing about the book plot line and are just into viewing period piece films, this movie will still lag. The pacing was tedious at best and the character development of Pip took way too long without really divulging anything of remote interest. The movie, on top of a crippled script and wayward overwrought acting looked as if it was bootlegged. The director is a fan of grainy, dirty looking cameras apparently. The whole time I was viewing it I thought that I had purchased an illegal copy from some homeless gentleman. This movie disheartened me greatly, and I can only say that it will disappoint you too. 5.5/10
