A poor representation of a beloved story.

Rating: 1/10 (11 June 2013)

I have watched numerous versions of Pride and Prejudice trying to take on the book which many of us adore. I have enjoyed nearly all of them (Yes, even including the modern 2003 one.), but this movie left me with not one good thing to take from it. The conversations were slurred losing the heart of the story: It's great conversations and wit. They seemed to just focus more on random imagery such as statues. The actors have talent. (McFayden) but the director did not seem to get any great effort out of any of them. All of the performances were underwhelming. Keira Knightly isn't in the least like the Elizabeth Bennet in the book. It is a shame this is what many people think of when hearing about Pride and Prejudice. There are so many other great versions. (Watch the 1995 one (Colin Firth) for a masterfully done job or even the Laurence Olivier one)If you are a fan of the story skip past this, it only pains true fans to see it squelched like this.
