Title: What are they THINKING?!??!
Review: I rented this edition of P&P over the weekend to watch with a fellow Austen fanatic, and we both hated it. We have seen nearly every version of this classic tale, and this one is at the very bottom. The actors are horrible, especially Mr. Darcy, who has the same face and shows the exact same emotion throughout the whole movie until the very end. There is very little chemistry between him and Elizabeth, so it made it harder to believe the ending, unlike in other editions. It is extremely slow-moving, edited very poorly, and very little art or music direction. It was actually very painful to watch the whole 4 hours, and I would never recommend this version to anyone. The A&E/BBC version with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth still reign supreme to me. Despite some problems, it is the most believable, most romantic, most beautifully done production of Pride and Prejudice.
Is the review positive or negative?
