Good job but the ending....

Rating: 7/10 (16 August 2006)

I saw this film only few weeks ago and fell in love with it, though I've got some objections to the ending (and even greater to the alternative US ending) which I consider too sweet....Compared to the 1995 miniseries Mr Darcy melts too easily :-)Though both Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen did a great job (especially Matthew must have touched every women's heart I guess:-)) I would say that some changes made were a bit misleading - I mean for example Mary, whose character seems to be much more prim in the original or Mr Collins, who I considered more spiteful (in the book and in the 1995 version) than he was in the 2005 movie. Anyway, as a whole the film is greatly pleasant way of escaping the severe reality of our time:-)and as far as the DVD, I highly appreciate the bonuses which give a even better insight of the Austen's times. If you are a romantic soul be sure to see this film and be sure to see the 1995 miniseries as well - and of course enjoy yourselves!!!:-)
