The music was too loud, the dialogue was too fast and the entire pace of the movie was too fast. I didn't hear one word uttered over the loud music. Since I know the story well, I was able to follow it but much of the best of the book is left out. The plots and costumes were good that's all I can say good about it.
This movie is a true gem. While staying true to Jane Austen's book, the dialogue is incredible. Kyra Knightly is Lizzie reincarnated. I've seen the BBC version which is good, but the chemistry here is much better. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Keira Knightly looks constipated during the whole movie. Not an ideal actor to play the role of Lizzy Bennet. Let's not start about. No character does justice to the book. It actually deserves just 1 star but the background score made me give it a 2.
I watched this with my 6-year-old daughter and we had a great time, laughed a lot, mostly at the same things and found it very entertaining. It's a more frivolous, less faithful version, with little sense of the social repression of the time it's supposedly set in, and some of the incongruities are a bit difficult, but it's funny and there are some good performances (Tom Hollander's Mr Collins stood out for both of us for sheer comic value and we found ourselves rewinding his bits). It will inevitably meet with criticism from some Austen fans (of which I am one), but it has its niche; I would probably only watch it again under similar circumstances but would do so happily.
