pride and prejudice film

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2005)

I did see both the versions of Pride and Prejudice and I must say that they were both good. I saw a comment on here that was very bad on Matthew MacFadyen. I must say that he's a better cast than Hugh Grant as proposed. I think that Matthew didn't get a chance to show the true Mr Darcy as he had to try it in 2 hours while Colin Firth had almost 6 hours. I also think that the film can't be compared to the series. the film is a bit more modern when it comes to the setting and the costumes. I think that they did a great casting in this film. It is always hard to make a remake of something that was a big hit but in my opinion the film makers did a good job with this film. Keira Knightley showed she can carry a film. I loved the small parts from Donald Sutherland and Judi Dench. She is the right person to play Lady Catherine. That Lizzy and Darcy don't kiss at the end didn't bother me at all. I thought it was a lovely romantic version of the novel.
