Great photography, great music, not-so-great script

Rating: 6/10 (9 October 2005)

I thought that the photography of the film was absolutely outstanding, and a combination of some beautiful screen shots and stunning music made some of the moments in the film very memorable indeed - however, the script was, in my opinion, too loose an adaptation of Austen's novel, meaning that much of the original, more subtle humour was lost and replaced by a more contemporary alternative, which I felt began to reduce some of the film's authenticity.
The film is by no means displeasing - although it was difficult as a viewer not to constantly compare to the BBC adaptation during the film - picking out what worked better in one than the other. However, the film is definitely worth a watch - and as mentioned above, the music is absolutely stunning, and i believe the soundtrack is available from Amazon for £8.99!
