DVD Reviews of Pride & Prejudice (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: Pride and Prejudice
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved Ms. Knightly but I have fallen in love with Mr. Macfadyen. Gosh he is believable in this role. I also purchased the Pride and Prejudice with Mr. Firth, and I must admit I like it but not as much as I love the one with Mr. Macfadyen. Don't get me wrong both are wonderful, but Mr. Macfadyen is wonderful.DVD Review: Not Pride and Prejudice
Summary: 1 Stars
Wow, what can I say that hasn't already been said by so many disappointed viewers. Knightly plays Lizzy like some rude, self-absorbed teenager. I think a majority of the people that loved this movie must be under the age of 21 or something (Note that I said a majority and not all). This is really nothing like the real Pride and Prejudice--why did the director even bother--just to make a name for himself by directing a classic in his own stylized way? Wow, I am still in shock at the liberties the screewriter and director took with this novel--it's really quite awful! Please read the book before you defend this film as being an accurate adaptation of P&P!DVD Review: Mr. Darcy and the Fair Elizabeth
Summary: 4 Stars
What a treat to view this wonderful Jane Austen tale on the screen! Having read the book more than 40 years ago, the details have become fuzzy to me so I won't worry too much about the movie closely following the book.
Kiera Knightly was an absolutely perfect choice to play the role of Elizabeth. Headstrong, opinionated - Ms. Knightly does these well. The dark and brooding Mr. Darcy was also played to perfection by Mr. MacFayden, keeping his good deeds under wraps and bearing the brunt of Elizabeth's scorn.
I thoroughly enjoyed the romp through the English countryside of yore. The settings were believable and seemingly accurate. Supporting performance by Donald Sutherland as the father of five marriageable young ladies was a touch of delight.
I give this movie four stars because it is so obviously a 'chick flick'.
Recommended for PG audiences everywhere.
DVD Review: one of our favorites,
Summary: 5 Stars
we love this movie, along with you've got mail and sense and sensibility and emma we watch this over and over again, especially my 3 teen daughters.DVD Review: Personally... I loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
Many people didn't like this because it wasn't truly a "real" Pride & Prejudice remake, and because it really wasn't "period".
I personally liked its airy, lighthearted feel. Extremely easy to follow and it isn't filled with things that shouldn't be there. It is perfectly shot.
It is the only version of Pride & Prejudice I like enough to where I don't have to fast forward through parts I don't like. I like it in its entirety and while Keira Knightley was, MAYBE, miscast, I adored Rosamund Pike (Jane). Maybe she would have made a better Elizabeth. I don't know.
I also liked Matthew Macfadyen in the role of Mr. Darcy. Of course, I know him better from MI-5, but I was able to put that role aside. He played Mr. Darcy very well. I liked him a lot.
I do believe that Jenna Malone's (Lydia) "British accent" was a very bad one. She was definitely miscast in this role.
Description of Pride & Prejudice (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
The greatest love story of all time lives on in the Pride & Prejudice 2-Disc Collector's Edition! The Academy Award?-nominated film based on Jane Austen's masterpiece novel has been repackaged and expanded to a 2-disc edition with all-new bonus features. Academy Award? nominee Keira Knightley stars as heroine Elizabeth Bennet, who upon meeting the handsome Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), believes him to be the last man on earth she could ever marry. But as their lives become intertwined, she finds herself captivated by the very man she swore to loathe for all eternity. And now, their romance shines brighter than ever before in this must-own collector's edition of the film critics said, "Makes you believe in true love and happily-ever-after" (Stephen Holden, The New York Times).Literary adaptations just don't get any better than director Joe Wright's 2005 version of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. The key word here is adaptation, because Wright and gifted screenwriter Deborah Moggach have taken liberties with Austen's classic novel that purists may find objectionable, but in this exquisite film their artistic decisions are entirely justified and exceptionally well executed. It's a more rural England that we see here, circa 1790 (as opposed to Austen's early 19th century), in which Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) is one of several sisters primed for marriage, with an anxious mother (Brenda Blethyn) only too desperate to see her daughters paired off with the finest, richest husbands available. Elizabeth is strong-willed and opinionated, but her head (not to mention her pride and prejudice) lead her heart astray when she meets the wealthy Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), whose own sense of decency and discretion (not to mention his pride and prejudice) prevent him from expressing his mutual affection. They're clearly meant for each other, and as Knightley's performance lights up the screen (still young enough to be girlishly impertinent, yet wise beyond her 20 years), Austen's timeless romance yields yet another timeless adaptation, easily on par with the beloved BBC miniseries that has been embraced by millions since originally broadcast in 1995. Individual tastes will vary as to which version should be considered "definitive," but with a stellar supporting cast including Judi Dench and Donald Sutherland, this impeccable production achieves its own kind of perfection. --Jeff Shannon
