Colin Firth is still Darcy to me!

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2005)

I saw the latest version of Pride and prejudice and although Keira Knightley is a fine actress, I'm sure - I was not as drawn into her Lizzie as I was Jennifer Ehele in 1995 - Keira was a bit too silly for me...she seemed too much so where as Jennifer left much of that to the sisters. I also much prefer Colin Firth although Matthew did a fine job....it just wasn't as powerful.
I love the storyline but 2 hours didn't do it justice. I still prefer the 1995 version as the one to beat. I could watch the 1995 BBC version over and over and never get bored. This current version I would not consider seeing a second time.
Again, no problem with their effort...just that they had big shoes to fill...and they just didn't fill them.
