Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Reviews:
The Best Version Of Huck Finn
2009-09-18 - This is the best version of Huck Finn that I have seen.Very, very well worth the money.Patrick Day's portrayal of Huck is simple (as it should be) and real.As is also Samm-Art Williams portrayal of Jim. This version follows the book better than any of the others. This is the full version.

It Ain't Right; You Stealing Yourself That Way, Jim
2009-03-22 - After watching the Ken Burn's documentary on Mark Twain's life, I looked forward with much anticipation to seeing this film. It was supposed to be a great social commentary about slavery and on the conflict between the Constitution and the reality of slavery. It was supposed to be a kind of mental journey that the viewer took by following the simple logic of a boy, who represented the ideas about black people from that time. And while the movie does repeat all the right lines, "Well, then, I'll go to hell" it doesn't do so with as much power as Ken Burns narrator did. It doesn't set up the real and present tension -- the level of religious faith at that time and just what Huck meant -- how powerfully people of that day feared doing what was wrong and how Huck was meant to really feel it was wrong to help Jim escape.
The power of the soul-searching aspect of the book is really hard to capture on film. It's a good film, as it goes, but I had hoped for something explosive.

1939 & 1960 versions are much better.
2009-02-20 -
Both the 1939 version starring Mickey Rooney (only in VHS) or the 1960 version starring Mickey Shaughnessy and Tony Randall (DVD) are far better than this version. I rate the 1939 & 1960 versions at 4-stars.

In this 1-star version, Huckleberry Finn has no personality; nor do any of the other characters. This version has no humor. Both other versions have good humor. This version is painfully slow with some exceptionally bad acting. A boy, Ben, has just seen his father and brothers killed and tells Huck as if he was talking about the weather. There is nothing in this version that is not in both other versions. The other two versions have much more than this and presented in less time. If you want to to watch this to write a school report without reading the book, then for that purpose this version would be better without the added Hollywood scenes that would give you away. The people rating this 5-stars must be praising it for that reason or selling it. I have been ripped-off again by shill-reviews.

"Tom Sawyer" 1939 with Tommy Kelly is better than all versions of Huck Finn.

Other great period, adventure movies are "Tom Brown's School Days 1935", "David Copperfield 1940 & 2000", "The Prince & the Pauper", "At Swords Point 1952", "Oliver Twist-1948 version with John Howard Davies as Oliver", and "The Scarlet Pimpernel 1935".


Huck Finn
2009-02-10 - The DVD was a great addition to the book. I teach Special Education at the high school level.We read the book and I was looking for a DVD that was as close to the actual text as possible (some things were omitted for time). This DVD did not let me down. Be warned the language may offend some, but it is true to the book. The actors portrayal of the characters was done well. I would recommend this DVD.
