Fabulous

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2005)

I LOVE the BBC version of this movie and own it. I've watched it over and over, so I was skeptical of this new version. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find it wonderful. The lead is phenomenal as well as Mr. Darcy, too. They are entirely different than Firth/El. and make this version fresh and brilliant. The filming is spectacular with breathtaking views of the English countryside as well as the grit of the "poorer" folks homes and barns/livestock. The actors compliment each other very well, although the goofy cousin is better in the BBC version---the newer version actor is not quite as odd and strange, although he plays his part very well. Go to see this movie, you won't regret it and IT IS NOT A CHICK FLICK--my husband thought it was well worth the $9.50 ticket price!
