Title: I liked the characters but...
Review: The thing that really annoyed me was that the dialogues had been switched around. For example, in the book, if Elizabeth says something to Jane, in this adaptation she says it instead to Wickham. Other than that, it was better than the 1996 adaptation because the characters seemed to fit in more. Elizabeth is not supposed to be more beautiful than Jane and surely she is not. David Rintoul was excellent, he is supposed to be slightly wooden so I am not sure I agree with all the criqitues of his performance. The two miscasts in my opinion were Wickham (I thought he was supposed be very handsome in looks, much more so than Darcy) and Kitty (why on earth was she so old?)Overall, if you are a Jane Austen fan, you must see both adaptations but if you only want a romantic love story, get the A&E; version.
Is the review positive or negative?
