Awful!

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2005)

A joke! A mockery! What was good about this? May I remind you of a certain book by Jane Austin, this book was written well and was good for the genre it was aimed at. Highly popular. Well this film managed to cut half of what was in the book out of the film! The Book and award winning novel was wrecked by this travesty of a film. The worst film I have ever seen! No following of the plot, poor acting by most of the stars baring Judi Dench. No emotion, didn't make a big impression with it's target audience or any audience. Just pathetic. A waste of time and space. Rosumand Pike loved herself far too much, Keira Knightly gave a sickening performance and should never be allowed to act again and Donald Sutherland- well, no comment! Acting classes needed for the cast and the part everyone waited for was between Lizzie and Mr Darcy, but any emotion which could have been expressed was simply thrown out of the window when MacFayden and Knightly took the roles. They didn't display and emotion, they ruined a perfectly good novel and I cannot stress enough how dreadfully sickening this film was. Highly unreccomended.
I give this a one-
To improve the film- A new cast who can act well. (This would get it from a one to a four) If it hits it's targets and target audience. (four to a six) If the novel is portrayed in an entertainingly good light for it's genre and target audience. (six to an eight)
The above would get it an 8 if all of it was achieved. It would get a 9 or a 10 if all the above was achieved and outstandingly done well in an amazing way.
