Movie Reviews of Jane Austen Collection (Sense & Sensibility / Emma / Persuasion / Mansfield Park / Pride & Prejudice / Northanger Abbey)
Movie Review: Fairly Pleased....
Summary: 4 Stars
I was fairly pleased with this collection of Jane Austen's works. However, I believe the Charles Dickens' collection: Volume 1 was better produced. While I enjoyed Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma, I thought Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion were weak, boring, or too compressed, - leaving out much of the action.
I was able to purchase this collection for $35.00. However, at some stores (including many Borders bookstores) the collection would cost more than $35.00. I would not recommend purchasing the collection for any amount of money more than $35.00. This way, when two or three of the films fall short of your expectations, you still have three or four films that made the purchase worth your money.
If you are considering purchasing this set simply for Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion, I would advise purchasing them individually and buying the newer BBC version of Persuasion along with the Masterpiece Theatre version of Northanger Abbey.
(Note: for more information on why I disliked BBC's Northanger Abbey, see my review on Northanger Abbey.)
Movie Review: Jane Austen Videos
Summary: 5 Stars
These are my favorite of the many video renditions of the Jane Austen books. After viewing them, I understood the stories clearly for the first time.Movie Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a big Jane Austen fan. I have read her books and watched her movies. I was very excited about this collection, but when I received it was very disappointed. The filming seemed more like a home movie than an professional film. I was hoping for something a little more professional.Movie Review: product was received in excellent condition

This is not the good version of the classics by Jane Austin, you want the masterpiece not the BBC version.
