I maybe the only one to say this, but I loved this movie. I can't understand why so many people did not like it. If the whole, 'freely adapted' thing gets you, THAN DON'T WATCH IT. The score was fantastic, and so was the acting, Gary Oldman in particular. The storyline was great, and even though it deviated from the novel, I thought that it was a somewhat accurate view of life in the Puritan society despite a few minor details.

Not the best but really not bad . Good performances from Moore and oldman.

The reason I rated this movie so low was because it can hardly be called the Scarlet Letter. True it has the same setting, some but not all of the main characters, and some even totally created. Artistic liberty is what is used to shave a 250 page book to fit into a 2 hour film slot. However, what this movie has done was create an entirely new fiction. This is above and beyond this so called liberty. I guess as soon as I read the opening title sequence containing the words, "freely adapted" I should have know once a piece of literature enters the limits of the "city of Angels" it becomes a void piece of garbage that anybody with the money enough to do so can make it into a movie. P.S. Good luck Demi with the new Hubby.

This tells a great story of how love survived the puritanical colony of The New World, Americas. I really do'nt wanna say much more because words can not describe the pure glory of love versus the brutality of the miss use of power. Very well done, lots to learn too.

how could they ruin this classic with such a piece of cr*p like this movie! a happy ending?! if it's a happy ending, what's the point!!!!! if you liked the book you'll hate and despise this movie. though if your someone who hasn't even bother with the 'long boring book' (which is not true), then this piece of junk is for you. 0 out of 5 stars. (read the book).

When I saw adverts for this on sky i decided to investigate it further watch you tube and then record the film and I had expected so much but what i found was a bit of a disappointment. Im not saying the film was bad it was just not as good as I thought. Hester and Arthur meet about four times in the space of a few days and then about a week later they are declaring undying love for each other on a cliff and are prepared to risk their whole life for each other?? It happened to quickly. Once the film got going and it focused on Hesters struggle I found it intriguing but it still was too quick i felt for the main characters to have fallen in love. Gary Oldman was superb although Im not quite sure what accent he was trying to master and Demi Moore was surprisingly good in this role yet the whole thing lacked due to it being too quick. Overall I do not feel I wasted two hours of my life but I did record over the recording.

I have never read Nathaniel Hawthorne's 19th century novel, but apparently this is total rape and murder of it. Admittedly Demi Moore's Hester is extremely irritating, like all of the movie's strrrooong women, and celebration of adultery would make poor, Victorian Nathaniel turn scarlet too, but production values are lush and the film is not without entertainment value. Think, for example, the hysterical scene where Hester (or whoever this modern woman among Puritans is) puts wreath of flowers to her head and runs in the woods like 17th century hippie! She is free spirit in narrow-minded, bigoted society, get it? As filmed version of Historical Harlequin book this is not bad at all, as Hawthorne adaptation it is, of course, insulting travesty and understandably angered book's fans.

I love this movie , Demi Moore's portrayal of Hawthorne's character. From his classic novel was excellent, as the woman who had committed the carnal sin of adultery. And was considered a harlot and a witch. For not only did she have an affair , brought on by feelings of lust and desire. But it was with a Holy man sworn to be loyal and faithful to only the Lord our savior. Which was considered forbidden , so as her punishment she was forced to wear the scarlet letter 'A'. Which stood for adulteress, But she when found out she was with child. And out of wedlock she had only two options , neither one was promising. In the end she had only 4 options be hung, burned , end her affair with the Priest (Oldman) which was forced to leave the church. And her final choice leave with her child and never comeback! Great move fantastic acting ! Due to certain controversial content this movie isn't for everyone! But for anyone who appreciates classic literature this is the movie for you!

I really enjoy the movie and the principal of the plot. Demi Moore is a great actress and Gary Oldman is a wonderful actor, I have seen several of his movies and Gary really becomes the part. So does Demi. I have enjoy Gary performance in this movie so much that I bought several more of the movies he has been in. He is a true actor. I really enjoy the arts and it is nice to see actual talent! Demi movies have been wonderful and I love the fact that she is willing to go to all lengths to bring the part to life. I am not an actor myself in anyway, I have no talent in that area, But I would love to have been able to watch them Film Scarlet Letter.

i enjoyed this movie, and have seen it several times. i feel the producers did a pretty good job of telling the story. granted, the movie is not exactly like the book, but that's to be expected in any film. gary oldman plays arthur dimmsdale very well. whether you've read the book or not, this movie is worth seeing.
