Amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2006)

I thought it was a great movie, hands down. It's been criticized for not being as good as the 1995 series (which I didn't see so this might not be a completely reliable review) but I think the recent movie holds its own. The cinematography is amazing, really drawing on your emotions and making you feel the intense passion and scenery of the book and the setting. The cast was amazing, yes they didn't portray Mr. Darcy the same way as he's portrayed in the book, but it was still done beautifully and I think along the same thread as the book. I read the book a few years before watching this movie, and it successfully brought back all the wishful thinking and romanticism that the book conjures. If you're not a purist and you don't mind a little condensing of the story for movie purposes, then you'll love this movie.
