1995 or 2005?

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2005)

The Keira Knightley Show!
If you've got nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon, watch P&P (2005). I'll definitely recommend it! Great movie!
If you haven't seen the 1995 version, you'll find this movie a pleasant sort of thing. You definitely won't get bored.
Keira Knightley does justice to her role - she's subtle enough in her performance that nobody ought to doubt her being cast as Elizabeth Bennet. Nor would anybody doubt Rosamund Pike being casted - she portrays an excellent Jane Bennet.

If you have seen the 1995 version, you'll be heartily disappointed with this one:
Mr. Bennet is pictured far too un-lively. There is no tension/chemistry between Mr. Darcy and Lizzy Bennet. You couldn't care less about Mr. Darcy. Mr. Bingley is non-sensical. SOUNDTRACK missing!

My fault was that I found myself comparing this feature with the 1995 mini-series all the way through. "Capital" mistake! I would probably have a much more positive impression if I saw P&P 2005 first and P&P 1995 second.
