Summary: Review of Roll of Thunder
Comment: The video story had a good concept, a good plot showing events that were very realistic, but it left out key events such as the revenge of Cassie against Lilian Jean, how the blacks were treated in school, and the revenge of the Logan children getting back at the white bus driver. Watching the movie with important events left out, left the audience confused.

Summary: Deserves a big, fat zero!
Comment: This movie was made by someone on a diet of white bread and packaged vegetables - bland, blander, blandest. Whereas the book is moving, if a bit over-reliant upon the narrator Cassie overhearing everything and all the children getting into the action, yet again, the movie makes you want to yell obscenities. One example will do. The book is set in the Depression-era Deep South, rural Mississippi - it didn't get any worse for blacks - and the sharecroppers are desperately poor. Yet the characters all look as though they're just shopped off the rack at the country store. There's no fire, no emotion, no tension.

I urge another attempt at a movie of this book because it could be outstanding - the plot is there for people to do something wonderful.

Summary: Very disappointing
Comment: I have just finished watching this book at school because we have been studying the book. The book is very good; it is gritty, down to earth and tells it like it is (in some parts it is quite violent). But the film is very disappointing. The acting is wooden, the children all look wrong (Cassie is supposed to be 9 but she looks 15) and constantly have cheesy grins on their faces. The film is too sentimental and cheesy. The film also cuts out a lot of the swearing and violence as well as other parts of the story. For example, John Henry Berry is badly burnt and in the book he is still alive and the children see him badly burnt but in the film he is buried under the rubble of his house and you do not see him.

This film not only badly acted, overly sentimental and inaccurate, it is also quite unfaithful to what is a quite short book. Do not watch this!!!

Summary: This movie bites the big one
Comment: easily one of the worst movies i have EVER seen. They played things that happened at the end of the book in the beginning of the movie. it was hard to see. Cassie is supposed to be a third grader and she's taller then Stacey(13). this movie had so many problems i hated it! :( don't bother watching this movie! Mr.Lock if u ever read this you shouldn't have made us finish watching it :P it was a waste of class time and we should have just stuck to the book.

Summary: I wish I could put 0 stars
Comment: I hate this movie. It was wack. I wish the actors didn't get paid. I thought the lighting was horrible. You can't even see the people. It was like a horror movie like this. In the scene where Cassie gets back at (Miss) Lilian Jean she only pulls her hair. Also the guy who played Mr. Morrison isn't 7 foot tall he looks like a leprechaun compared to how they describe him in the book. Ithink Mildred D. Taylor should not have let them make the movie after she saw it. If they remake it I hope its way better!!!!!!!!!!
