Movie Reviews of Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)

Movie Review: BEST ADAPTATION
Summary: 5 Stars

This is definitely the a best adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice. Very entertaining.

Movie Review: The best P & P adaptation!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is, by far, the best adaptation of P&P! And,... it's fun! It truly keeps to Jane Austen's spirit of the story and every character is played with authenticism. Costumes, sets, and manners are true to the period. I was surprised at how amusing the story was! Even my husband laughed!

Colin Firth steals the show as Mr. Darcy. What an actor! He simply smoulders! His portrayal is so true that one can no longer picture Darcy in any other form, once seen here. Darcy is a complex man, and not all as confident as one assumes at first. Firth brings out both Darcy's strengths and his shortcomings in a very appealing performance. Thank you very much, Mr. Firth!

Best scenes are Elizabeth's refusal of Darcy's first proposal and her confrontation with Lady Catherine. His second proposal and their reconciliation is also done perfectly. And, yes,... Mr. Darcy emerging from the lake.... need I say more?

This is the best by far!

Movie Review: Relationships and Relationship Savers
Summary: 5 Stars

How many of us were ruined for real men by Jane Austen's creation - Mr. Darcy? This adaptation of the world's most popular book is the best and far superior to the movie of a few years back starring Keira Knightly (although that did have a few bright spots, namely Matthew MacFayden). Of course, this six hour mini-series has more time to develop the story and is closest to the original book than any other adaptation. And, unlike other British versions, the two main characters are actually attractive! If you haven't seen this or don't own this version, buy it. You'll be glad you did.

Movie Review: Outstanding-The Best
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best version ever made & well worth every penny. A must for any Austen fan.

Movie Review: best version
Summary: 5 Stars

I believe that this is the best adaptation of Pride and Prejudice to date. It's true to the novel, and to the period without sacrificing a realistic interpretation of the characters that rings true to life. My mother loves this story and between us we own five different versions so I know of what I speak :)
