Mr Darcy Mr Darcy

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2005)

I enjoyed this movie, even having been a huge fan of the '95 version.
If you are a fan of that, you have to totally push the version of CF's Mr Darcy and the JE version of Jennifer Ehle.
Matthew MacFadyen did a good representation of Mr Darcy, I loved the stutter at the end when he was telling her he loved her.
I loved Donald Sutherland, although Benjamin Whitfeild was great too. I think all the actors did excellent jobs in this adaptation. I can't say that any of them were better then the miniseries. This version is good for those who cannot deal with sitting thru the six hours that the miniseries was.
I did notice that some of the movie was expediated and they seemed to cut out some of characters. I am assuming in the end that they were married, since Mr Darcy(in that day) was scarcely dressed. All in all I would say this version can stand on its own legs away from the mini series, I will say though that Colin Firth will always be the perfect Mr Darcy.
