I loved this movie with so many subjects covered quite well. Keira Knightly was really good. Rosamund Pike and Donald Sutherland also good. Matthew Macfadyen was mysteriously entertaining. The setting and back story are all very interesting and engaging. Refinement and impropriety has never been covered so well as in this film. It was hilarious to see Jena Malone and Carey Mulligan play the silly younger sisters. Excellent performances all around, good music, excellent scenery. So much to like.

An incredibly watchable telling of Jane Austen's classic that only gets richer with repeated viewings. Somehow this film does not feel stale or rigid - as period pieces often can feel - but it has a large degree of vitality and life running throughout it.

Great filmadaptation of some 19th century literature. However the book is 200 years old, the story is still as romantic as it could be. Characters are true and believable and the whole scenery is mesmerizing. Of course very clichéd and predictable but still, this film defenitely outmatches other films in its genre.

Perhaps the most beautiful film I've ever seen. I was gasping for breath at the light. Yet I hope there's a better P&P adaptation out there. Additionally, there's some hilarious camera moves that remind me of Indian soap operas. ----- just rewatched in 2018. it's still fucking lush

My recent viewings of these types of films (European period films?) have all been melodramatic; either a mistress and wife bickering or a sudden death that shocks all involved. This does away with the 'norm' and tells a simple, yet elegant story of love. As with most of her films, Keira Knightley gives an excellent performance.

Brilliant stuff. A fantastic performance by Knightly. Actually, by everyone really (though the youngest Bennet's are a pain in the arse. I believe that's meant to be though).
Sure, this is essentially the stuff of a million Mills and Boon books, but when its this well written and acted who cares?

The story of two head strong jerks who finally realize they're just headstrong and jerk enough for each other. Quite pretty, solid performances all around, and the light comedy does translate well hundreds of years later. Maybe all it takes for me to enjoy a silly romantic comedy is period costumes and a slightly too serious tone, because I liked this one, and I usually hate the things.

A most delightful film - Keira Knightley makes the most wonderful Elizabeth and Donald Sutherland has absolutely captured Mr. Bennet. If you are a fan of the book, this movie has captured the book so wonderfully.

Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightly) is a proud, but penniless woman in the class-conscious times of!8th century England. This classic Jane Austin tale reveals the misunderstandings of the heart in a time of a condescending society.

I love this movie an unhealthy amount. I read the book a bit in High School, thought it boring. the movie, and 15+ years on me, brought me back. I've not seen the BBC production _yet_, but I admire this movie for making the core of the story work in a standard movie timeline, even if they cuffed up the ending for a more standard "Hollywood" style.
Plus, Keira simply rocks. Perhaps I'm biased by seeing the movie "first", but her tomboyish-yet-pretty girl looks seem tailor-made f

I'm not one to shy away from a good, subtle and preferably British romantic comedy, and this Jane Austen adaptation didn't disappoint. The film is as well acted and visually lush as you would expect from the kind of people who are always involved in these adaptations, so if you can just get your head and heart into the story you should be set for two hours of enjoyment.

Keira Knightley and an exciting directorial voice from Joe Wright make this something more than another P&P rehash and instead a Moulin Rouge!-esque tribute to the legacy of the Austen romance and what has made it so loved by people ever since.

It would have been better if Joe Wright had been trying to show off so much. After a while, you just want the camera to stop moving and the visuals to just calm down. S&S is Austen done correctly, P&P is Austen done well, but flawed

Pride and Prejudice is a difficult film to rate. While I didn't particularly love it, I still couldn't take my eyes off of it. While it wasn't exactly my cup of tea, it still managed to totally engross me. And I couldn't wipe the damn smile off my face when it was over.

As a male of the human species, it is nearly impossible for this film to not leave my stomach feeling a little unhappy, but for the most part, the quality acting, classic story, and surprisingly unique cinematography, make it an above average romance. The beautiful landscapes and subtle humor make is stand out as well. Really good!

With its excellent performances, terrific costumes, and skillful camera work, Pride & Prejudice has enough going for it to more than justify giving it a viewing, although it may not supplant a favorite previous version you may have enjoyed in the past (the 5 hour 1995 miniseries starring Colin Firth appears to be one that can't be bested).

BEAUTIFUL! This is one of my favorite movies ever! When I read the book, I was absolutely enchanted with the relationship of Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy, but this movie concreted my love for Jane Austen. I'm not one much for sighing & feeling like a girl when watching a movie, but every time Mr. Darcy appeared on screen, I could feel my heartrate increase twenty-fold. Keira Knightly is the perfect Elizabeth, just enough snark & beauty to completely charm anyone in her path. Tom Hollander was the perf

Having seen (and loved) the BBC miniseries, I thought for sure that this adaptation wouldn't make the cut. How wrong I was! This 2 hour version was far superior, with beautiful chemistry, wonderful acting, and a sense of life that will leave you feeling uplifted. My wife almost didn't watch this movie, but I forced her into it - and she ranks it as her favorite romantic movie! If you're at all a romantic, then you really must see this movie.

Visually sumptuous, but it manages to miss the spirit of the book almost completely. Most of the characters are so poorly fleshed out that they almost all come off annoying instead of sympathetic (very un-Austen), and the badly enunciated and recorded dialogue doesn't help. Judi Dench, though, has a great bitchy turn as the Lady Catherine de Bourg. The soundtrack features the most annoying piano music in a movie since "The Piano", and you hear it over and over and over again.

Like many movies based on novels, it doesn't quite follow the book (but that's expected). But then again, there are many good things about it, such as the fact that acting was very well done.

Dazzling cinematography with vivid nature shots, beautiful art design, detailed costumes - all this made me want to visit the places shown. As for the story, well, it is for women, you know. I have not even read the source novel, but it seems like a good adaptation, because I enjoyed every minute of it. Cast is well picked; the credits include most of the British stars. Joe Wright is someone I would like to see directing more classic British novels.

Ah, I have such a crush on Mr. Darcy. I detest romance stories but this actually feels awfully realistic. Jane Austen's caustic wit, combined with excellent performances, visually stunning cinematography and a beautiful soundtrack, tells the story of two people so unlikely to tolerate one another and yet with such intertwined traits that, amidst their flaws and misconceptions, find affection and attachment. At the end, I couldn't help but grin like a kid with a lollipop. Still - a mere romance.

Yet another Jane Austen film adaptation about poor girls of the English countryside marrying their way into the upper class. Sure, we've seen it all before, but a solid script, high production values and a likable cast make it fresh and enjoyable. Somehow, this familiar tale of unspoken passions and ridiculous politeness is weirdly engaging and the insight it offers into an era when everything was so by-the-book and conservative, is undeniably fascinating.

Keira.K is a great Lizzy, but there's a serious lack of onscreen-chemistry between her and the Darcy-dude.
The story feels rushed in some parts - it seems more concern about the first P than the second one; I haven't read the novel so I don't know what the source does though. Anyway, for the non-purists amongst us this is a good-looking and enjoyable peek to the past. *Preview*: #12#, re-4*, liked, story, actresses, rewatch(2), R4 }*{ #00s(m)#, reviews, story, Keira.K!

It's not as detailed as the 1995 miniseries with Firth, but the beautiful cinematography and score makes up for all the missing parts of the book. Knightley and Sutherland portray the roles of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy true to Jane Austen's version.
