El jardín secreto

Being a big fan of the original I hadn't expected much from this remake. But it really was awful. Low budget with terrible acting, it lacks any emotion or excitement. Wish I hadn't wasted an hour and a half of my evening.

Horrible acting. Looked like an amateur school play. Story was good, could have been made beautifully. You could actually predict the entire play. waste of time and money

The acting is terrible let me start off with that, almost cringey in some areas. However it is an interesting twist on a well loved story and the costumes and steam punk elements really add to it. Overall it is not a bad movie and a mostly enjoyable watch with the quarantine.

It's a steam-punk futurism adaptation of the classic Frances Hodgson Burnett novel. Mary Lennox arrives at her uncle's Misselthwaite Factory. She befriends siblings Martha Sowerby and Dickon Sowerby. She finds a secret workshop which is referred to as The Secret Garden.

At least, they are trying for something interesting. The failure is still painful to watch. The sets look like leftovers from a second hand store. Some of the actors are struggling. At some point, one can see them rambling on with their lines as if they're just going through the motion. Somebody probably got the original idea but the budget was never there to fulfil it.

I love the original story line, but this was painful to sit through. The acting was forced and awkward. They couldn't seem to figure out what decade they were in going between marvelling at "airships" to drones flying around. The story is not true to the classic. This was a disgrace and should not share the name "The Secret Garden"
