Lack of good storyline.
Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreKeira 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.
View MoreHonestly, this is one of my all time favorite movies. Love the story in both book form and movie. The actors portray their characters very well whether it is their reserved personality, over zealous, annoying, shy, quirky, etc. Mrs. Bennett is one of my favorites besides the main two characters, her constant nagging and banter with Mr. Bennett are sure to entertain anyone.
View MoreThis is one of my favorite movies ever. I may be biased because I'm a sucker for romance and have not yet read the book, but this movie was done well. The soundtrack fits what is going on in the film and you can definitely tell what songs go with what characters. The sound track also helps connect the parallels throughout it's entirety. They really give some interesting perspective. I have watched this movie many times and each time I notice something new. For instance all of the little scenes between Darcy and Elizabeth that hint that they are attracted to each other without being super blatant. I love the portrayal of love and hate between the two as well. There is also something that goes unsaid in the movie that I noticed. The scene where Elizabeth and her Aunt and Uncle are visiting Darcy's house and Elizabeth stares at this marble statue that is veiled women, I believe that she really relates to it and is captivated. Then she sees Darcy's marble bust and realizes that he is kept to the impossible standards that she is. There are many scenes like this in the movie that I just adore. The director really used the full range of movie making tools for this movie. There is a scene where the lighting is just excellently used. Elisabeth has just had this big fight with Darcy and denied his proposal and she is staring at a mirror and the light changes through the scene implying a time change but also a lot of thought and reflection. Then Darcy comes in and leaves her a letter and there is a voice over of him reading the letter. The lighting really showed her thinking about it and her opinion changing of him. I know that this movie greatly diverges from the book, but the movie aspects of it were done right. It might not have been historically accurate or exactly like the book in every which way, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. It's a well done film, just different from the source material, like all other film adaptations of books.
View MoreAlmost not watchable. I AM a fan of Keira Knightley however, she is a silly and shallow Elizabeth Bennett! I don't know why as I've seen her be quite good in other period roles but she is TERRIBLE as Elizabeth Bennett. Makes her a very UNlikealbe character - you don't even root for her to win at the end. And Mr. Darcy in this...OMG. He literally possesses TWO emotions. Vapid and slightly less Vapid absolutely horrible. Does not inspire thoughts of romance and love! Do yourself a favor and catch the 1995 version with Colin Firth. THAT is the way it should have been done. If you can't find the 1995 version - then catch Becoming Jane - that's very good too. This version of P&P is truly not watchable - both the acting and the interpretation of the story/script are just terrible.
