Great Film!

Rating: 9/10 (24 September 2005)

Having just been to see the film...i am totally surprised by it! As a very big fan of the bbc version i thought i would not enjoy this film so much, especially without colin firth!
However, i actually enjoyed this film so so much! Matthew Mcfadyen had been criticized for his role as Darcy but i thought he played it extremely well! A sweeter Darcy the colin firths...maybe even more real..i was charmed! and Kiera was excellent but i though she would be! Chemitry between them worked and was totally believable.
The ending ruined it for me! As a it of a romantic, and come on...this film is the ultimate love story, i thought having no wedding and/or no kiss was terrible! My friend hardly dare look at my face! Even the more 'proper' bbc version had a kiss, if be it a very awkward one! However i hear the Americans got there kiss! so i can only hope its on the DVD!
A very good film...hugely recommend even for die hard bbc fans like myself...the film will surprise you and may even equal the 'original'!
