A Beautiful Novel Come To Life

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2005)

OK, OK, I admit i haven't actually read the novel but just from watching the movie I could tell it would be beautiful. I'll keep this short and sweet: Keira Knightly was lovable and, well, fantastic as Elizabeth Bennet. At first I though Matthew MacFadyen as Mr Darcy wasn't quite as 'spunky' as he should be, but as a big strong man, brooding all the time, he did become quite appealing in the end he he. **SPOILERS** The only problem i had with this movie was the ending. I mean YAY we realize that they will be married but the final scene is focused on the father. Where's the big pash fest that should have followed?!?! I wanted to see them marry or at least kiss. Although maybe that never happened in the book so i ca't really complain. Either way it was a gorgeous film and a must have in the DVD collection.
