Thought I would be bored, as everyone has seen at least three versions of this! But wasn't at all. Performances were excellent and I actually did fancy Darcy (FIRST TIME EVER!) Really got caught up in the plot. FAB
After seeing the BBC version I thought I would never enjoy another version of Pride and Prejudice but I was wrong. The characters are portrayed brilliantly and you feel like your on a emotional rollercoaster as you watch the relationship between Mr Darsy and Lizzy develop. I admit to even getting a bit tearful at the end. If only real love could be that romantic!
Turning a classic book into a movie lasting under 2 hours is a risky business, & of course, this film has to live up to the BBC series as well which was superb. Nonetheless, Joe Wright's film is a worthy version of the film, with enough difference to previous versions that it can stand on it's own. The Bennets & their local village dwellers are depicted in a very rustic way, which contrasts well with the wealthy visiting townsfolk - The Bingleys & Mr Darcy. The story continues apace, with most of the key bits in their rightful place. Keira Knightley is a fantastic Lizzie & gives a spirited performance to the role.
You're bound to enjoy this film even if you have loved it before.
