Query: Eh, it was ok

This version of The Secret Garden was, at best, just ok.The movie flowed too quickly from key scene to key scene. There was no sense of the time that it took for Mary to lose the worst of her contrary disposition or for Colin to become well. No development whatsoever, just boom! Mary's nice. Boom! Daddy's home and Colin's walking. It wouldn't have taken that much extra for the director to show the passage of time.I felt I was watching a recitation of lines...was I supposed to believe that Archibald Craven was mourning his wife? The actor didn't convey it. He seemed rather fatherly for a man who was mourning his wife, ignoring his son, and who previously had not wanted to see his niece. Was I supposed to believe that Colin was sick or that he thought he was dying? It would have been nice if the actors could have conveyed feeling and depth instead of such perfunctory recitation. They might as well have been reading from the script.
