A Splendid Effort

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2005)

Pride and Prejudice is not only my favorite book of all time but I am also a die-hard fan of the BBC mini-series. Having said that I have to say that I loved this movie! There were a few incidences when they messed up some of the most important and iconic lines but on the most part they did a very good job and I was giddy at the romance in the end. I have seen every version of Pride and Prejudice that has been made, from the 1940 version with Lawrence Olivier and Greer Garson to the 1985 BBC version and I have found something to love in all of them. The mini-series is above-all the best version ever made but you have to remember that it is 5 hours long and the average movie is around 2 hours. For the time they had to work with this movie is absolutely wonderful and a must see for all Jane Austen enthusiasts. Go see it and enjoy the wonderful filming as well, because not only is this movie a good adaptation it is also a beautifully filmed work with wonderful colors and camera work.
