Despite its huge success of the novel Great Expectations written by the well-known author Charles Dickens, I’ve admitted that this movie adaptation remakes in 2012 is way too underrated as most people I asked never heard about this movie. From my thoughts, the adaptation of the movie really brings up the plot to be intensive and to be easily understood as the original story is so deep and not an easy task for a common people to understand what the writer expressed through his writing.

 This story began at calm then suddenly a conflict happens in the very beginning of the movie which really brings up the viewer’s attention. Then, the plot is beginning to be constant when suddenly a bunch of twist happening to brings up the excitement as our mind became puzzled of what will happen next. After that, it continues to be a boring plot for those who didn’t understand the story thus far. Finally, starting from the three quarters of the movie when all of the story suddenly get connected and revealed. This movie ending clears up everything as the original story are in the verge of good or bad.

For me, all of the plot are well executed with the great casting of the actor which really suits up their roles in the movie. All of the expressions, acts, costumes, scenes are taken seriously as it is both exciting and beautiful. Moreover, I’m starting to be a fan of young Pip and Estella. While the adaptation are too rushed as the viewer needs to pay attention at the story expression, it takes more than one time for me to really understand the clear plot.

 My verdict told this movie is worth watching and I give this 6.5/10 as this movie can be far better with some of the rushing and boring plot. It’s worth buying this movie.
