Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition Customer Reviews (190 - 192 of 229 Reviews)

Wonderful movie - VERY POOR recording!!!!
I love this movie and watch it all the time. I have a copy of the original recording both on VHS and DVD but it is wearing out so bought this version and can't believe how horribly it is! The colors are completely washed out to the point of there being almost no color at all. What in the world did they do to it?! If you can get your hands on a copy of the original get it instead.

Truly wonderful
Five flawless hours of wonderful television, makes you wish that the BBC could take charge of Hollywood. Fabulous characters, locations, costumes and acting, it's funny, and moving, and has some of the best, smouldering on-screen chemistry I've ever seen. Forget recent efforts like Sense & Sensibility and Emma, this version is in an entirely different league.

Best Ever
The hardest part in reviewing this film is where to start for it has succeeded in so many levels. This 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is simply outstanding. It excell in essentially every aspect. It is faithful to the book and the sincerity to the time and place is geniunely thought out. The costume, sets and scenery are exquiisite, it is a visual feast. The music is absolutely superb. The choreography is outstanding.

The whole cast has a class I had never seen before, the characters are perfectly put togerher, they come alive in a way that I have not seen equalled by any other production. From the main stars all the way down to the most menial of the servants.

Some characters may not look like what you have in mind but everyone did their part extremely well. Although Jennifer Ehle in my opinion looks a bit heavy, in physical sense, for the part of Lizzy who was described as having a light and pleasing figure, she captured the spirit of Miss Elizabeth Bennet to perfection. Susanah Harker as Jane I think is not five times prettier than the rest but she is wonderful as the sweet and good natured Jane Bennet. The rest of the cast I believe pretty much look how they should look.

Colin Firth as Mr Darcy, what can I say, no one admitted to the priveledge of watching him could think anything wanting. He is spot on as Mr Darcy

The entire film is full of excitement and drama, the wit and humour of Jane Austen really shines, it is truly a sparkling comedy of manners with a spice of passion and romance. The scenes that are supposed to be powerful and dramatic are passionately and perfectly portrayed. The whole cast delivered their lines and acted their parts with feelings and intelligence.

At last, a film has finally done justice to one of the greatest love stories in literature.
