Title: Overrated!
Product review: I was really eager to watch this film after reading all the praise it has received in the reviews, but I must say I found it quite disappointing.The language sounded either lifeless, as if the actors were just reading aloud from a script, or completely overdone and unnatural. The sets looked like stage decorations and the actors stiff and uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, the whole film seemed more like a theatre play than a movie. The screenplay of Ang Lee's version might take some liberties with the book, but at least the characters are lively and credible!The worst letdown was the end after Episode 8, though: Marianne batting her eyelashes at the Colonel, remarking that she would have to ask him lots of questions - and her mother commenting "Children". And that was all! Am I missing a DVD??
