If you're a big fan of the A&E Jane Austen films, then you're going to want this as part of your DVD collection.
This one is the Kate Beckinsale version which was released the same year in the one Paltrow starred in. I must say that this is a much better version of the story though clearly with a lower-budget. The other version has a more modern-ish look to it that would've made this one the perfect adaptation of the novel.

I chose to watch this version first because for some reason I'm not drawn to watch Gwenyth Paltrow's Emma. Kate's portrayal was good. She seemed to play the immaturity card very well and her character was quite annoying at times but mostly I wanted to see Mark Strong's performance and I believe he delivered nicely.
