The only reason why I watch this movie is because I use the book for the preparation for my final paper, and this movie is really a waste of time. Seriously, not my kind of drama, since I'm not a big fan of Demi Moore and Gary Oldman So, overall this is really a waste of time.. This movie do not help me and my paper at all
great film..
GARY OLDMAN ONE OF THE ACTORS EVER...
DEMI MOORE NOT FAN BUT SHE PLAYED NICE..
THE SCENE WHERE SHE OR HE (DON'T REMEMBER) PRESURES HIS HANDS IN THE WOOD ITS TERRYFING
awwwwwwww, this film is just about the only love film that i love. Usually i hate mushy love storys but this was is just exceptional, plus both gary oldman and demi moore are fantastic actors. :D fantastic!
If you've ever heard of the book 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne, than you'll LOVE THIS MOVIE. The whole thing is just put together really well, and it makes you actually WANT to watch it.
As far as I can remember this one, it was wonderful, though I did get a bit board after the whole sex scene..I will have to re watch it to fairlyjudge it
Gary Oldman did a very good job in this, maintaining that he is an awesome actor. I didn't really buy Demi Moore's "accent", but overall, I thought it was an ok adaptation of the book, a lot was different though.
totally diferent from the book! if the book was boring the movie was ever more. the performances by gary oldman and robert duvall kinda saved the show but still it wasnt good at all.
hated the book, hated the movie
This actually was a pretty good movie if I remember right. Its been a while since I have seen it, but I am a sorta fan of the novel so I will recommend it.
This wasn't all that good, but what makes you wanna see it again is definetely Gary Oldman, who keeps you hooked with his voice and magnetic appearence. Its wonderrous how such a simple man can suck up all the attention, just by stepping in the background of the camera...
I loved the book, but I simply could not get through this adaptation. Seemed like they reduced the whole thing to the "burgeoning sensuality of a woman," which as I recall wasn't the point. Yes, Hawthorne was writing a criticism of Puritan morality, but he was talking about more than sex.
A good Adapation OF A Great Story It's Really Erotic And Demi Moore & Gary Oldman Are Totally Working Robert Duvall is Really good I Liked It So Much But Still The Book IS AMAZING
Okay so I have FINALLY seen this movie!! I was a bit skeptical, because I enjoy the book and was wondering how "loosely adapted" this movie was going to be. Well...it turns out that it is VERY "loosely adapted" but still decent. I am not a big Demi Moore fan but she was okay in this movie. And Gary Oldman. God!!!! First of all I LOVE Gary. I mean c'mon, he plays a brilliant terrorist, a TERRIFIC Dracula, and (even though he is a bit old for the role) a spot on Sirius Black. But man, I don't think I truly recognized his talent until this movie. His interp and the movie's interp of Arthur Dimmsdale was slightly different than I imagined when I read the book but it was incredible. I do not think I can gush ENOUGH!!! EVERY look was spot on. Even when he didn't say a word you could tell what he was thinking, feeling, and hoping from every glance. He has always held a bit of magnetisim in his performances, even if he is the bad guy, but in this movie he truly draws you in. Maybe it is just because I have become recently obsessed with dear Gary but I could not keep my eyes off of him, watching his every look and reading them like a book, breaking my heart all the way. I like to think I am at least a decent actress but MAN Gary takes acting to a whole new level in this movie. Alright, I have rambled enough. Decent movie, GREAT PERFORMANCE from Gary Oldman.
Kinda weird,the book was absolutely boring!!!I found myself incredibly attracted to Gary Oldman in this movie though.:)I think it was the black outfit.The movie does not stay true to the book at all!!!!!
The movie itself is not that good. But Gary Oldman is, as he always is, amazing in his role (and, in this particular one, oh-so-very-sexy). Has no chemistry with Demi Moore, though.

I just loved that movie - all of it! Yeah, maybe some scenes were totally inappropriate and maybe the hair stylists didn't like the cast ... but Gary Oldman makes up for all that and in fact it didn't bother me anyway. ^.^
Freely adapted film after a Novel from Hawthorn.Gary Oldman's performance is great.Wonderful film about a big love story between a priest and a married woman.
