No Words Can Describe This Movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2007)

No words can describe this movie and still give it justice. While it does cut a lot from the novel, I never read it so it doesn't bother me.
I watched the 1995 mini-series and thought it was a complete bore. It almost turned me off to seeing this movie. Almost.
When I did see this movie I was treated to laughs, characters I could watch and believe and a story that was not only easy to follow, but pulled me in. I could see that Darcy and Elizabeth really liked each other, and I was left screaming at my television while watching how they interacted. It was like "What is wrong with you, you like him, so tell him!" Keira Knightely did an amazing job as the softer yet still tough Lizze. Most of the rolls Keira takes seem to be showing a more rougher and bad ass version of women, but she pulled this off amazingly well. Matthew Macfayden was exactly what Darcy should be, he was stoic and proud and rigid, yet he still was able to show how he felt for Lizzie with real emotions. Rosamund Pike (Jane) is a timeless beauty. Nobody in today's era could possibly pull off Jane the way Rosamund did.
I can find nothing bad to say about this movie. I loved the chemistry between Keira and Matthew as well as Rosamund and Simon. I hated Mr. Whickham, but at the beginning when he was first mentioned I found him charming and likable. And he was actually attractive, which is more than can be said about the '95 Wickham.
If I continue this review it will take up two pages, I loved this movie. If you wish to see a version of Pride and Prejudice with emotion and likable characters, I strongly suggest you see this movie. It is a beautiful and amazing adaptation.
