Terrible movie, an insult to Jane Austen

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2013)

I wasted 3 hours of my life watching this movie. I don't know where to start, seriously it was so, so bad. If Jane Austen was alive, she would have had a cardiac arrest. Firstly what on earth were they thinking casting Kiera Knightly as Lizzy? She is the worst actor IN THE WORLD and just didn't know Lizzy's character. That's my first complaint. Next it's the story itself. Pride and Prejudice is, personally, one of Jane Austen's best novels. The characters are deep and have real personalities that you can only see if you know the story inside out. This is where all the actors fell flat. They didn't know the characters well enough and they didn't act them well. The movie did the book no justice at all. Not only is the acting atrocious but they miss out vital parts of the story and they change bits of the story that shouldn't be changed. So don't waste your lives people! If you want an honest to goodness adaption of P&P, watch the BBC version. All the actors know their characters and the acting is good.
