Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

phinyf I was expecting a bit that I could see a love story that's great and yes for me the movie delivers just that. I can feel the suffering of both leads and how great their love is at the same time which might not be similar to the book as they say. Still, it's a great story with a believable acting. Gary Oldman was really good in acting out the role of a reverend yet he can easily cast out his being a reverend for Demi in the story. It wasn't captured how hard he tried to stay away but was just narrated with a few scenes. Inspite of that, I can feel how great their love is for each other. I thought that one will die in the end but it's good to see a Hollywood movie that doesn't have a terrible ending

Dianne Lynch This movie is a big insult to the great book 'Scarlet Letter' of Nathaniel Hawthorne.It has nothing to do with this amazing piece of Literature.So, if you've read the book I highly recommend you not to see this film. Nevertheless,if you enjoy yourselves by seeing Soap Operas this movie will thrill you to the bone. The only good thing of this movie,I could say, is Gary Oldman,whose performance is truly respectable.The same thing can not be said for his co-star Demi Moore.No one maybe can deny the beauty of this woman.But her talent is poor in this particular movie,better not make any reference to her other 'exceptional' works.

Sean Turconi I don't know where to begin. I'll just ramble off a list of things which I thought were ridiculous.1) In the beginning of the movie Hester talks about how much she has studied the Bible and even quoted Old Testament Scripture. Curiously though, she spends the rest of the movie making obscene theological blunders that the most novice of Christians would never make.2) She questions "how could a mere man know what is a sin before God" or something along those lines. Ummm...you're a Christian. It's called the Bible. You know that book that you told us you knew so much about in the beginning of the movie. If you are honestly questioning what is sin after reading the whole Bible, then you are either intellectually inept or you are a flagrant heretic. What would be the point of even questioning the very word "sin"? Who would care if you didn't believe in the Bible. The word "sin" is from Scripture.3) The movie clearly is pro-fornication, pro-adultery, pro-immoral church leaders, anti-Christian, anti-traditional marriage, anti-"white man", as clearly shown by how awfully the good Indians hated them. It also seemed pro-lust, pro-paganism, highly feminist in its viewpoint, and on and on. It's mainly liberal, modern day garbage.

kim_smoak Review: This movie was a beautiful movie. I can't tell you how happy this movie made me. It was a love story beyond anything I could have ever asked for! There is a disclaimer…there is male and female nudity, and extreme gore, so this is not a family movie. Though there was some extreme gore for a movie like this…I was happy with it. I did close my eyes during the fighting scenes, because there were some over the top nasty scenes…but the fight scenes only lasted a few minutes, and wasn't a huge part of the story. The story was about a married woman in the 1600's who moved to America to build a new life with her husband…though her husband decided to stay behind in London and send her there alone, almost like he was trying to test her.After settling in, she begins to have feelings for another man in her husband's absence…but this man also is the minister of the town where they live. They both avoid each other, knowing that they both have strong feelings for the other, and if they were to do anything about it, they would both be hanged. They then get news that her husband's ship was attached by Indians, and no one was found alive…so they begin their love affair. She then becomes pregnant with what the town calls a "bastard" child…not knowing that it was their minister's child. He offers to give himself up in order for her to not be punished, but she forbids him to do so, because she loves him too much to see him hang for their love. She is put into prison until she has the child, and then is forced to wear a red "A" on her clothes everywhere she goes. Shortly after her release, she finds out her husband was not killed by the Indians, but captured, and returns home under an alias…only because he doesn't want the town to punish his wife…he wants to punish her by killing her lover. Still, no one knows that her lover is the minister…but her husband begins to investigate everyone, and soon suspects that her lover is the minister.I could seriously go on and on, and give you the climatic ending of the movie…but I won't…because you NEED to see this movie if you haven't. It was a brilliant work of art in the form of a movie. Demi Moore was charming and graceful as Hester, and Gary Oldman was almost a knight and shining armor as Minister Arthur. They did change up the story of the book…but this movie was just beautifully done. I will watch this movie again…very soon!
