After the A&E (BBC) mini-series this version is like remaking “Casablanca” or “Gone with the Wind”: simply useless and inferior. The mood of the movie was all wrong; it looked more like “The Weathering Heights” than “Pride and Prejudice”. Matthew Macfadyn is bad imitation of Mr. Darcy which was played to the tee by Colin Firth. And, Kira Knightly seemed too precocious to be Elizabeth Bennet (Read the book and you`ll know what I mean). The A&E (BBC) mini-series is and shall remain the last word on this book!

Absolutely fabulous. I have seen the Greer Garson/ Lawrence Olivier version as well as the BBC miniseries and Keira Knightley is by far the best Elizabeth. Brenda Blethyn does an excellent job of balancing Mrs. Bennet`s penchant for hysteria with her tendency for indiscretion. She isn`t as over the top as the characterization in the BBC series. Matthew McFadyen does a great job of playing Mr. Darcy. I particularly like those moments when he is less dower and smiles. The scene where they meet on the moors in the early morning was very powerful. I look forward to seeing it again. I highly recommend this version.

If you think this is the worst adaptation ever then you obviously missed last year`s "Bride and Prejudice." This adaptation is VERY good when you put aside feelings for the mini-series (which obviously will never be topped). Mr. Darcy was very sexy ;)

This was the worst adaptation of Austen`s novel ever. The acting was way too overdone and trite (with the exception of Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennet and the actress who played his wife). The directing seemed exceptionally cheesy and melodramatic, which made the entire movie laughable. The original BBC version with Colin Firth was so much better. Although this version did have all the important scenes from the novel, the connecting plot line was disregarded, making it seem choppy and superficial. I don`t know what everyone else is thinking.

It was GREAT! At first I didn`t know how they would scale a 500 page book, or an 8-hour miniseries into two hours, but they did, and they didn`t lose anything. Fantastic job!
