Movie Reviews of Pride and Prejudice (10th Anniversary Collector's Set) (A&E, 1996)
Movie Review: Beautifully made and acted but very LONG
Summary: 4 Stars
The acting is superb but the plot develops very SLOWLY. The whole thing is about 5 hours. If you like Colin Firth, this movie is for you. If you prefer a faster pace, try the Keira Knightley version.Movie Review: The best of all the versions
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are going to purchase a copy of Pride & Prejudice, there is no doubt that this is the version to buy. It is spectacular in its scope and depiction of Regency England. The sheer length of the production allows it to do more justice to Jane Austen's book than any mere 2hour movie could do. With that said, it has one very serious drawback - there is not enough about Darcy and Elizabeth. Instead, the movie is awkwardly tilted to focus on Mr. Collins. The movie leaves out many thoughts and interactions of Darcy and Elizabeth relating to each other and yet these are the main characters of the movie and the main characters of one of the most amazing love stories ever written. Consequently, it helps to have read the book at least once if not more times so that you can fill in the missing encounters, thoughts and dialogue. Nonetheless, after repeated viewings, I simply fast-forwarded through most of Mr. Collins' scenes which really highlighted how much of the movie disproportionately focused on him. But because of the resources that went into the film, the quality of the actors, and the attention to the detail of the period, this production still remains the best. The "extra" material is useless (as it is in the anniversary version so buy this cheaper one).Movie Review: PRIDE & PREJUDICE
Summary: 5 Stars
Just what I ordered. Fast delivery. One copy in the house was not enough. Movie Review: The best
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the movies that have been made of PAP, this is by far the best and hands down the most thorough. I give the credit to the marvelous, Colin Firth who is the quintessential Darcy. Better than the movie with Keira Knightly. It's worth every penny if you are a die hard JA fan.Movie Review: The Ultimate Love Story Series
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, who doesn't love Colin Firth? I owned the tape version of this series and so love that I don't have to rewind each tape. The segments flow smoothly. This movie is well done and the best, hands down, at capturing the book. I have already gotten a second copy for a Christmas gift!
