Rating: 3/10 (14 December 2011)

The script does not match the book because many passages were changed, which diminishes the quality of the entire film...and what bothers me the most is that almost all of the actors fail to highlight the qualities of their character. In my opinion, Mrs Bingley, Mrs Darcy, Ms Elizabeth, her mother, Mrs Collins and few more, simply can not live up to the requirements that the interpretation of such a character demands. This version of the "Pride and Prejudice" movie it doesn't even compare to the BBC mini-series, not to mention the 1940 masterpiece, when Sir Olivier Lawrence did a great job with the male lead role. I'm disappointed that nowadays they no longer make movies as good as in the '30s and '40s. It's a shame.. I advise you (after you read the book of course) to first watch the older version (1940), and after that you can watch this one. Pay attention to the details and make you're opinion based on the comparison between the 2 movies.
