Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition Customer Reviews (112 - 114 of 229 Reviews)

Beautiful and Perfect
This is by light years THE best adaptation of Jane Austen's novel that exists. Of course, no film (or mini series) is ever entirely 100% faithful to the original text, but the A&E series makes such small changes that you hardly notice...and then it flows too well for you to care. Such can not be said of the other adaptations out there ESPECIALLY the newest one with Kiera Knightley...I've only seen the previews of this and even that makes me shudder. The story is utterly re-written and does not have the same "feel" of the original novel. Please, if you plan on seeing the new film version of this wonderful novel, then watch this mini-series first. I guarantee you that nothing else could hold a candle to it. Nothing! And by the way, my boyfriend (an adamant "chick flick" hater) loves this mini series!

terrible quality
I must agree with the other reviewer who complained of the picture quality.The packaging claims this version has been digitally remastered -- I can only conclude it has been remastered to make it look cr*p.

The picture is very washed out indeed -- it seems to improve slightly on the second disc (or maybe my brain was adjusting.) To add insult to injury -- "the special" featurette contains footage from the unremastered version and you realize how lush the colors should be.

Even jiggling with the color/contrast/brightness does not restore the detail you know should be in the picture.The picture quality is so disappointing that I even wondered if I had purchased a bootleg copy by mistake. I urge A&E to recall the discs and do the job properly -- the only reason I give this product any stars at all is because you can still hear the excellent script!

Hilariously Funny
Collin Firth was great! This is a wonderful family movie, I think it is the best Pride and Prejudice ever made( I have not seen the new one ).
