Different to the series but better for it

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2005)

I've the read the book many times and watched the series more then a few and love both. The film ant either but thats the joy in it, the director has given us the "love scenes" but made a real attempt to make them fresh and new, I'm glad we don't get the wet shirt Darcy cos it could never be the compare to firth. Another review thought they lacked any sexual attraction, I'm really surprised, in the rain scene they were so hot they sizzled. I thought Macfadyen was a great Darcy and perfect for the way the film choose to develop him, he managed to go from the stern pompous prefect to a proper love interest by little changes in demeanour and behaviour. Keira shone too although perhaps a bit toothy.
