A love story between different classes of people

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2006)

I was rather disappointed when I watched the movie. I have read the novel many times; over and over again and it's one of my favourites of all time. I guess I was expecting a lot but for me I feel the movie failed to deliver to my expectations. I found the storyline rather choppy; jumping from one plot to another without warning. People who have not read the novel would find it rather confusing. I watched the movie with my sister-in-law and I ended up having to explain to her the plot because she couldn't make head or tail of it. The movie which had Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy was better; in terms of storyline and acting. I am surprised that Keira Knightley was actually nominated for and Oscar for her role as Elisabeth Bennet. The storyline never really truly allowed her to shine.
