One of the greatest love stories of all time, Pride & Prejudice, comes to the screen in a glorious new adaptation starring Keira Knightley. When Elizabeth Bennett (Knightley) meets the handsome Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen), she believes he is the last man on earth she could ever marry. But as their lives become intertwined in an unexpected adventure, she finds herself captivated by the very person she swore to loathe for all eternity. Based on the beloved masterpiece by Jane Austen, it is the classic tale of love and misunderstanding that sparkles with romance, wit and emotional force. Critics are calling it "Exhilarating. A joy from start to finish" (Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times).

Summary: Simply dreadful!
Comment: There is no point in trying to list all of the flaws in this adaptation of Austen's classic; I would be here all day! What possessed the makers of this film to cast Keira Knightly as Elizabeth Bennet, or Donald Sutherland as her father? Knightly's Lizzy is a giggling and immature airhead, with no depth of character whatsoever. The language and behaviour of the time is ignored, the dialogue is very clumsy, and the costumes and general appearance of the characters are shabby. Macfadyen's Darcy looked as bored as I was. Did the scriptwriters read the book before setting about writing the script? Was any historical research done? I doubt both. There isn't a scene in the entire film that I can say a good thing about. So badly done. So disappointing.

Summary: One of the Best Movies of All-time
Comment: Wow! I am so glad I made this purchase. I read this book in high school, or was assigned to do so, anyway. High school to me was a blur and I don't remember a whole lot about it, including the details of this book. I couldn't appreciate it then. I picked the book up, again, about a year ago. I loved it from the start and it got better and better, and it had a happy ending. I'm not an avid reader but this book will always be one of my favorites. It's classy, rich, and a must read.
I shied away from watching this movie because I didn't want it to destroy the book like so many remakes of any kind sometimes do. Well, my avoiding this movie was totally unnecessary. This movie is fantastic! It captured all the characters very well, in particular Elizabeth and Darcy. I will say that whilst watching it for the first time and even at the end of the movie it felt rushed, but what do you expect from a two-hour movie based off of a 400 page novel. It's just because I loved the book so that the movie seemed swift; I wanted every line of the book to be developed. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie after having watched it the first time. I love movies and it has become my new favorite. As much as the book is a must-read, this movie is a must-see. You need to own it. You won't be disappointed.
Long live the classics!

Summary: Pride and Prejudice
Comment: I'm a 23 year old male who does not enjoy chick flicks as much as an action movie. I had seen parts of the old Pride and Prejudice and as such was not excited when my wife received this movie as a wedding gift. However, I agreed to watch it with her. Much to my surprise it held my interest the entire length of the film. It was warm and occasionally humorous. All in all a very well done classic. While still not my favorite genre, I do recommend this movie as a must see.
