An amazing book adapted to an amazing movie!

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2006)

I just got my copy of the DVD on the 14th of April and have watched it twice already. This film is excellent considering the fact that there were only two hours to fit everything in and yet the movie didn't fell rushed. The entire cast shined particularly Matthew Macfayden and Keira Knightley as the leads. MM lent a certain boyishness to Mr Darcy and was in a class of his own while Keira Knightley took the spirited , lively Elizabeth to the next level. Jena Malone and Brenda Blethyn were especially refreshing and a pleasure to watch. Rosamund Pike lived up to her name and certainly looked like a blooming rose as her Jane was very fresh and innocent.
Director Joe Wright has done a marvelous job in bringing this amazing story to the big screen after the never to be forgotten A and E version.Of course it will be compared a lot to that one but I feel that both are special in their own unique way and should be watched with two completely different frames of mind. Do give yourself the pleasure of watching this and you will not regret it!
