Great

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2005)

As a real fan of the novel and of the BBC TV series, I went into the theater totally expecting to be disappointed by this movie. But I came away thinking that this movie is just as good, in it's own way. The shorter format made it accessible to a wider audience. Loved the period change (earlier, right?). Loved Knightly as Elizabeth.
The only complaint is that they made Mr. Darcy a bit of a lovesick puppy. Where are his struggles? Oh, and what's with the marble statue scene? I thought the man was supposed to have good taste!
This is a much earthier interpretation and I think it gained a lot by it.
