Amazon.co.uk Review:
Rightly winning wide acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, this latest take on Jane Austen's classic Pride & Prejudice is a real, all-round triumph. The age-old story still holds real resonance, and it follows the tale of five sisters dealing with love, and the many trials and tribulations that brings.
There are so many delights to director Joe Wright's take on the story, and his direction is a strong place to start. In spite of having to condense the tale to fit a movie running time, he nonetheless injects a real energy and intelligence to his retelling, and he's served supremely well by his cast. Backed up by strong support by the likes of Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland, it's Keira Knightley in the lead turn who's a real surprise here. Her performance is a real joy, and very much at the core of the film's success.
The film inevitably draws comparison with the superb 1995 BBC adaptation, and while arguably it doesn't quite scale the same peaks, it's to the credit of the filmmakers that their version still holds strong. For this is a tremendously enjoyable drama, and one that should continue to find an audience for a long time to come. An excellent film.--Simon Brew

- Beautiful vision
At the time of writing, I am the 315th to review this DVD, so here's my twopennyworth. There is no need to relay the story, for if you don't know it by now ...
There is an amazing long opening take in this film. In fact there are a number of several long takes. On a technical level, there are a number of fresh and exciting scenes to ponder, such as Lizzie twirling on the farmhouse swing as the seasons pass around her. Or the window-work of Lizzie's own home as the family settles down ... Read More

- Disappointing
Having watched the BBC serial and been an avid fan since it was produced, I was intrigued to watch the film. However, it was really disappointing. The most frustrating thing about it, is it doesn't stay true to the book. There are so many parts which are totally inaccurate. It does get better as it progresses with some beautiful scenes, although these are totally fabricated to appeal to the viewer, rather than tell the true story.
Rating: - Brilliant!!!!!
how can people possibly say this is better than the bbc version??!! having seen both many times i can safely say that this movie is a real treat, with all characters (except maybe georgiana and mr collins) played true to the novel. keira knoghtley gives a great performance as the spirited heroine and matthew macfadyen- the true darcy! he gives a subbtle performance that melts the heart. we are left with feeling that darcy really has brought down his barriers and is no longer the rather popous chap ...

Rating: - absolute hogwash
I'm not going to mention the acting etc - it was utter tripe but everyone else has already said that. And the casting was truly uninspired. But it was the screenplay itself that really deserves the full wrath of mankind for its woeful inadequacy.
Everyone knows that condensing a full size novel into a relatively short film is not an easy task. It will require considerable imagination and lateral thinking. Now Emma Thompson's Sense & Sensibility isn't like my fave film ever but she had ... Read More
Rating: - It is a truth universally acknowledged that this film is terrible!
Anyone who has read Pride and Prejudice would know how inaccurately this film portrays Jane Austen's finest book, and to me what is literature's greatest love story.
The casting is terrible, the language has been inelegantly simplified, the plot rushed, dialogue and scenes altered (some even completely removed), and many characters expelled altogether. Some of those that have been included in this film seem nothing like they do in the book (for example Georgiana and Mr Bennet). How this ... Read More
