disappointing !!

Rating: 6/10 (12 May 2008)

I has a lot of high hopes and expectations before watching this. At the end I was quite disappointed.
I cannot understand why it had won so many awards and nominations. I have read the book and seen the TV serials by Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth many many times and fell in love with them. Maybe I expected too much.
To me, in order to fully appreciate 'Pride and Prejudice', it must be thoroughly read and watched. It cannot and should not be simplified into a movie. This is none other than a remake of the 1940 movie by Greer Garson and Lawrance Olivier. Simplicfication and deletion of some of the actual scenes and events simply did not work.
Keira Knightley acted well but she was no match with the lovely and attractive Jennifer Ehle.
