dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2006)

this film is an insult to the novel. i have read this book over a hundred times and i watched the movie hoping it would do the book justice. it took an amazing piece of literature and butchered it! the cast couldn't act as their characters to save their lives! keira knightly is more Lydia than she is Elizabeth. further more i suggest she learns how to act before taking on a role that involves more than just standing there and pouting! Dreadful piece of garbage! they should be thoroughly ashamed of them selves. The man they had play Mr Darcy no more suited that role than miss piggy for Elizabeth. Mr wickhams portrayal was pitiful to say the least. not to mention the amount of lines they gave to Keira Knightly that belonged to other characters. evidently mummy and daddy helped there. i was mortified as would Jane Austen have been to see her novel so poorly enacted.
