Worst Version Ever

Rating: 1/10 (9 February 2006)

i don't think i have ever seen a worse version of one of Jane Austens classics. Not only is this film confused about which time period its meant to be in, but the story has been mutilated beyond comprehension, if it hadn't been for the title at the start of the film i would have thought i'd walked into the wrong screen, and i cant think of a worse actress to play ELizabeth Bennett than Keira Knightley. Pride and Prejudice is not only my favourite book but the Colin Firth version is also my favourite drama and Elizabeth Bennett a strong character with a certain essence and intelligence which Knightley was incapable of bringing to the fore. And as a lover of Jane Austens work i have to say i couldn't be more disappointed with this film and any one who loves Pride and Prejudice should stay well clear of this so called re-telling of Jane Austens classic.
