A less good version of the original BBC one.

Rating: 5/10 (10 December 2007)

How can you do a movie of two hours from the original series of 6 hours? Simply put you cant. All the basic plots are there, but the little things, which make the BBC one inferior to this are not present. Mr. Darcy is much better played by Colin Firth and Elizabeth by Jennifer Ehle. While this movie contains some strong acting in selective parts, its well worth it to watch the series before this one. There might be better visuals in this than the BBC version, but the handwriting is far from satisfactory. As a conclusion i would suggest to read the book rather than see this movie. This movie might be a time saver comparing to the 6 hour series, but for the ones who appreciate literature and Jane Austens work then watch the BBC or read the book.
