overall very good, however the director shouldn't have taken so many liberties with this true classic

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2006)

Very good considering the fact that it would be physically impossible to do real justice to what is easily one of the greatest literary masterpieces of all time. My biggest complaint was the fact that the director seems to have taken it upon himself to alter the work of the great Jane Austin. The prime example is in the personality of Mrs. Bennet, who in the book is a rather unpleasant, superficial sort of woman and who in the movie (while keeping with the original personality for much of the film) is given several moments in which she comes off as a down to earth and overall entirely tolerable sort of person. I would have preferred that in this and several other aspects the director had stayed true to the original work.
