I have seen many versions of Oliver Twist and have been in the show. This movie is very good to watch. Every one of the actors or actress plays their roles to where they thought it should be. Its a very well done movie and is worth seeing it.

Let me start of by saying that my title line is not prompted by any fan girlieness!
I borrowed this movie from a friend and found it much better then I had expected. Visually it was easy to look at, but not so much as to be unbeleivable. Dreyfuss was wonderful and very fun to watch. Elijah Wood lived up to what I've come to expect from his films. His portrayal of the Artful Dodger was both funny and heart breaking at same time. And his accent managed to stay in place rather well. My biggest qualm is the kid they got to play Oliver, he comes across as pretty shallow and unemotive or whiny at best. The character of Oliver was surprisingly badly written as he came across as a rather selfish little boy who cared for no one except himself and his mother's necklace. While Nancy and the Dodger both go unhappy fates ultimatly, for him.
I'd reccomend it as a fun watch, so long as you can ignore the title character!

It's not quite Dickens' classic novel, but then again, I ask you; what is? "Oliver Twist" is a brilliant film despite the fact that the story is not quite the way old Charles Dickens wrote it. When viewing this film one must remember that it was meant to appeal to a great number of people and not just to those who love literature. It was also meant to be a family film, which is why it is not as dreary or complicated as the original novel was.
One must also remember too, that this film was originally created for television.
The cast is great, especially Elijah Wood who played the Artful Dodger and Antoine Byrne who played Nancy. The young boy who played Oliver could have been a little better prepared for the part, but still he did a wonderful job. I have also never seen anyone portray Fagin in such an amusing manner as Richard Dreyfuss.
Overall the film is fun as well as funny and is sure to be an enjoyment to the entire family. For those who want to see a film that is based more closely to the novel I would suggest trying another version.

I love Charles Dickens Oliver Twist story and I have seen some movies based on his book that were exceptionally good but this movie was horrific. Have you noticed that most of the positive 5 and 4 star reviews seem to be by girls who have major crushes on Elijah Wood. Sorry but I don't think they can be objective as they are extremely biased! I like Elijah Wood and I generally think he is a superb actor but I'm sorry but he was badly miscast as the Artful Dodger. His British accent was horrible and he looked too old for the part and in his costumes he looked like some kind of sissified dandy instead of a streetwise pickpocet. Sorry but this movie is a clunker!

First of all, I don't understand this widow Corney having a locket belonging to Oliver (a locket than can lead him to his family), telling him about it and not doing anything to find them. In the book, there is also a locket which is an evidence of Oliver's identity, but Oliver doesn't know anything about it till the end of the story.
So we have this Oliver travelling to London, but he looks a happy boy. The true Oliver is sad.
But I find this Oliver able to move around almost free, while he is suposed to be a menace to Fagin's gang. and at the end he can make Fagin give him his locket, telling him he would peach. I think that even the most evil characters are comical.
A film to spend your time, but as the topic says: "The book is better".
