It is pointless to dismiss this TV adaptation of Forster's novel because it is not the Merchant-Ivory classic movie. Andrew Davies had to move the screenplay along at a brisker pace because of the time constraint -- and he does a very…

I am normally a huge fan of Masterpiece films, but I found this version to be inferior to the 1985 Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham-Carter movie. (I have been devoted to Maggie Smith since 1969's "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie".) I felt the…

Unusual adaptation of this famous book. The DVD version with Helena Bonham-Carter is much much better.

I have not read E.M. Forster's novel nor seen the Merchant Ivory version of this film. However, I found this movie to be vapid to the point where I wondered if it was made for tv, and hence watered down to become romance for those who…

The description above should say "1910," rather than "1992." She then revisits the place in 1922. That aside, I notice there is a lot of biting criticism here about not staying true to the original, but I found this to be a very…

NOT the Merchant/Ivory film version. ••• I found this BBC version just a lot of babble. Hard to listen to. Hard to watch.

NO Closed Captions! I couldn't watch it. What a letdown!

Not as good as the version I have with Helena Bonham Carter and Maggie Smith. I much prefer the ending of the older version with Maggie Smith to this one. This version was dry, stuffy, and not nearly as much fun as the way the other was…

This is a romantic movie that takes place in England and Italy. The characters range from very young to very old, and all of them are charming. It is a study of the elegance and beauty in creativity, spontaneity, sincerity, and…

This version is good, but I like the one better with Helen Bonham-Carter. The chemistry between all the characters are better

When you start rooting for Lucy to marry Cecil Vyse, you know a production of Room With a View is in trouble. The lovers are played as self-confident, modern types, and there is no reason why they should not fall into one another's arms…

This version was ok, but no where near as good as the original Merchant/Ivory production. The use of flashback was kind of annoying and the change to the ending was so sad and unnecessary.

Not as good as the Merchant/Ivory version. The original book is a comedy of manners; this adaptation lacks the humor of both the book and the Merchant/Ivory production. Some of the characterizations were interesting, and the chemistry…
