I loved this movie!! Definitely in my top 10...

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2006)

I just saw this movie yesterday with 6 of my good friends and we all absolutely positively loved it!! I came into it knowing nothing but what I had seen in the trailer, and I was absolutely enchanted as soon as it had begun. I had never seen any previous versions and had never read the book, and I was breath-taken by the scenery, costumes, and brilliant acting. My friends and I sat in the front row cheering on Keira Knightley as sharp-tongued, witty Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet, swooning over Matthew Macfayden as the snobbish, rich Mr. Darcy, and laughing at Brenda Blethyn's marriage-obsessed Mrs. Bennet and Tom Hollander's awkward and hilariously short Mr. Collins. I was amazed at the insight they put on Lizzie and how they showed their insight (i.e. Keira Knightley standing on the cliff looking out at the positively gorgeous landscape). 4 out of 6 of my friends (including me) came out stamping our feet, pouting and whining "we want a Mr.Darcy" (to which Matthew Mcfayden played an extremely sexy, rugged, and endearing leading man), and 5 out of 6 of my friends by the end of the movie were screaming "KISS HER!! KISS HER!! KISS HER ALREADY!!" at the screen (and getting "shh!"s and popcorn thrown at them for their screaming). An irrefutable 10 out of 10 by far!!
