Reading reviews…

Not difficult to follow and yet complex enough to hold your attention to the end. The music is AMAZING and the cinematography id to die for! This is seriously the best Pride and Prejudice movie out there. The good thing is, it can also be used in classes as the actors portray the era convincingly well and help the readers to the novel visualize the period life and setting. from Amazon.com I ordered the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice along with the Firth/ BBC versions because I love this Jane Austin story and because of "Toomuchtimeonmyhands" review. I have not yet played the Firth/ BBC versions, so I will review them later. from Amazon.com As a child, I was in love with the novel Pride and Prejudice, and the BBC version. I could find almost no fault with either. from Amazon.com This movie has gained a place in my heart. I have read Pride and Prejudice several times. I'm a fan of Jane Austen's books, partly because she seemed to be ahead of her times as concerns the rights of women (she didn't accept the 'place' they were caught in), and she wrote with such a sense of humor. from Amazon.com The story was wonderfully depicted, so real and earthy. I love that the characters' environments are so well lived-in. And I love the contrast between the poorer and the richer settings. Keira Knightley is such a wonderful Elizabeth Bennett. from Amazon.com I was very satisfied with the DVD. It was as described. from Amazon.com They were not poor in the book, but quite well to do. Like Shakespeare such modern adaptations can work, but this one was difficult to fathom. I look forward to seeing another Pride & Prejudice adaptation, but the 1995 version is the gold standard to which they will need to be compared, and not this version. Some positive points: from Amazon.com Apparently an HD DVD is so out of date that nobody even uses them anymore. I was trying to replace a DVD that I borrowed and lost. from Amazon.com I like this version of Pride and Prejudice because it is so unlike the BBC version and also the book. In a word, it's wilder. from Amazon.com this version of the great austin novel is an absolute disaster; one star rating is too much, i wish i could give it less; it could possibly be considered as a very bad parody on pride and prejudice; worst of all were keira knightley's scary grins and mr bingley's clown face; the rest of the cast was just plain bad; i even felt sorry to see judi dench appear in such a bad movie; from Amazon.com
