Hated It.

Rating: 2/10 (25 April 2006)

Sorry but this movie did NOTHING for me. I was quite excited to see it, despite the fact Kiera Knightly was starring in it. My apologies but I have an issue with the fact that she seems to play the SAME person in every role...a la Julia Roberts. It's like, Kiera Knightly as Kiera Knightly in every film she does. And this film, to me, was no different. She ruined this film for me. I should say that she was ONE of the things that ruined this movie for me...but the main thing, nonetheless. What the hell is that thing that she does with her mouth? Is that a pout? Did someone tell her that she had a sexy pout and that she should pout throughout the whole film, and indeed, throughout all of her films? It made me want to stab puppies. And the fact that they feel the need to pan in for a close up every time she smiles is nauseating. Now, for Darcy. or rather, Matthew McFadyen's failed attempt as Darcy. As big of an ass as Darcy is, there is something appealing about him. Something that makes you WANT Lizzie to have him. But McFadyen's Darcy is such that I wanted him to go away. I was not at all attracted to him. Two thumbs way down for this movie.
