I gave it 2 chances...

Rating: 4/10 (16 April 2010)

I love the book and I read it a few times until now. I also liked the BBC version from 1995 because in my opinion it really respected the story and the characters. When I first saw this version I was shocked to hear lines of one character in the book...said by another one in the movie. Some times the whole meaning was completely changed... After a while I thought that maybe I did not give it a fair chance...that could be a nice movie even if the story and lines are not just like in the book...so, last night I watched it again but I was still disappointed. Most of the movie I had the impression that the actors were in a hurry to say their lines in the 2 hours limit. No feelings, no emotions...just lines. Mr. Bingley has a lot of difficulties in talking. Why? There is no mention in the book of him being retarded... Nevertheless Keira is quite cute. With a better written script she could have make a great role...
