OK, i went into this movie wanting to not like it. for a start isn't keira knightley just too perfect? and also i'm not he romantic period drama type.
But, i have to say i surprised myself. not only did i enjoy the movie but, i actually wouldn't have minded watching it again.
As for Keira Knightley, well i have to say its probably the performance of her career so far but, it does leave me wondering when she will get a role that she doesn't stand there pouting most of the time.
Matthew MacFadden (darcy) also impressed me but, the whole thing seemed to lack something. however, the TV version with Colin firth did fill all the gaps and left me rather satisfied. the ending on this film left a rather nasty taste, it was all too abrupt but, all in all its a good film and i would recommend it to anyone but, at the same time i would recommend the TV version so that you have something to compare it to.
