Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Finally, what we've been waiting for! Comment: It looks like the same reviews appear for all the versions. I'm writing about the blu-ray editions, which have been remastered from the original. The blu-ray version of this favorite P&P is absolutely gorgeous. It's impossible to exaggerate the improvement in the color and detail. Every minute you'll notice details you never noticed, like embroidery in clothing and colored jewels. My wife and I had watched the DVD version many times, and when we saw this we commented continually on things we were seeing for the first time. I could go on and on with examples, but I'll just say that if you love this series, it's worth buying a blu-ray player just to see it. If you already own one, then buying this version of P&P is a no-brainer. Throw those washed-out DVD's in the trash! New blu-ray extras to boot on the 29-dollar version. Customer Rating: Summary: Wow! Comment: I've been watching the regular DVD of P&P for years. When I first watched the Blu-Ray version, I was glued to it. Every scene is clear, not muddy. You can see the details in the dresses and, more importantly, Darcy in his wet shirt pops right off the screen! ;o) Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Adaptaion Comment: After reading some reviews I was worried about the DVD quality. I was pleased to find that the color in the DVD was not washed out and looked very good! This A&E presentation was a very good representation of the book. The acting and costumes were phenominal! I thought that Lydia and Mr. Bingley were cast perfectly. This DVD is a must for any Pride and Prejudice fan. It was well worth the money. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Austen Adaptation Comment: I have to agree with many of the other reviewers in that this is the best screen adaptation of a book I've ever seen. The cast is perfect to play the roles, and the acting is solid. The characters on screen look as I picture them while reading the book. I had to shell out a lot of cash to get my hands on this back when it was a special order vhs box set years ago. Very glad to have it on DVD. If you're an Austen fan or someone who enjoys period pieces, you have to check this one out. Customer Rating: Summary: The one and only Comment: What can I say? This movie is the absolute best. No one, and I mean no one, could possibly play the roles better than Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. Ladies, you want a rush....buy this CD.
