oe Wright should be applauded for delivering a vividly realised Austen adap -- one which confirms Knightley has graduated from the Jackie Bisset of the '00s to this decade's Julie Christie.
November 15, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Breathes new life into characters and conversations never before quite wholly free from the printed page.

It's a fitfully engaging romance, it's just not Pride and Prejudice.
December 17, 2005 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review… -
Keira's cat-smile suggests such supernal all-knowingness that, with Austen's adapted dialogue (via Deborah Moggach) tripping off her tongue, she comes off as an eighteenth-century Maureen Dowd.

This fresh adaptation shakes the dust off Jane Austen's early 19th-century novel of manners and gives it a good airing out.
December 6, 2005 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Director Wright and screenwriter Moggach have streamlined the author's prose splendidly, and combined with spirited and emotional performances by the entire cast this first Pride & Prejudice of the new millenium is a three-hankie masterpiece.

Sep 01, 2012Before I gave this film a chance, I didn't bother to see it because I thought it was going to be boring, and it would be the same love story like your other average romantic film. After hearing all the good things about this film from people and critics alike, I had to see this for myself. When I did, I was wrong. Pride and Prejudice is a beautiful, crafted movie that lives up to its hype. When it comes to romantic movies, I tend to turn away from it because the majority of them are too cheesy and cliched, but I had an open-mind when I saw it. I felt relieved when I realized that this movie isn't one of them. This is a well-made romantic movie without being too cheesy. What I loved about this film is the production. The visuals looks crystal clear and real, like you are really in this movie. You will be thinking about travelling to England, someday. Not only that, it will make you think about going back to that time and see what it's like to be in that era. The music fits in this film perfectly as it progresses. The dialogue was well-written. They did a good job making this movie clean, without being too vulgar, and that's all I need in a PG film like this. The story was beautiful, and I enjoyed sitting through 2 hours of my life paying attention to what it had to offer. It may confuse you at first, but it's one of those movies where you have to pay close attention to everything to understand it. I wish I could go back in time and see this movie after it first came out. It was a good experience for me. The cast was well chosen, and they deliver everything here. Keira Knightley performance as Elizabeth was amazing. She has been a great British actress since Pirates of the Carabean. Matthew MacFadyen didn't brilliant too, although I've never seen him in any films besides Robin Hood (2010). The chemistry between him and Keira Knightley was perfect, which made look like they really love each other. Everyone else were great with their characters as well. Pride and Prejudice is one of those films where I can sit down and not worry about anything in this society. This is a romantic movie (along with The Graduate, Amelie, 500 days of Summer etc) that I can enjoy without being disappointed. This is one of those films where you can look at with your wife, your significant other,cor with any womon, just to remind her that true love really does exist. When she has bad days, this is a great movie to cheer her up. If you're looking for a well-made romantic movie, I recommend giving this a try.Giovanni C Super Reviewer

Feb 29, 2012This is one of the best adaptations of a Jane Austen novel, thanks in no small part to Academy Award nominated Keira Knightley. Pride & Prejudice has been adapted to film several time, but never as well as it is here. The cast is excellent and includes Keira Knightley, Donald Sutherland, Jena Malone, and Matthew Macfadyen. But, it's Knightley's stellar performance that carries this film and gives it its depth of soul. The film is beautifully shot with elegant costumes and wonderful landscapes. Additionally, Dario Marianelli has crafted an incredible score that's enchanting and immensely soulful. Pride & Prejudice is a wonderful film that captures the spirit of the Jane Austen novel.Dann M Super Reviewer

Feb 24, 2012Sorry but you won't find me going too ga ga over the period pieces unless they really blow me away. How many times do you film this damn story before people get tired of it. No malice to the actors. They did their good job but we've seen this all before.John B Super Reviewer
