Summary: Excellent movie, appalling transfer
Review: Of course this movie was one of the best I have seen, but the sound and video quality was horrendous. It looks as though they copied it right off a VHS tape. I guess, just because it is a DVD doesn't meean it's a clear picture after all. Be Warned.

Summary: The most wonderful movie I have ever seen!!
Review: I love (though such a word is an understatement) this movie. After reading Jane Austen's book, I was entralled and enamored and desperate to get more of what has become my favorite story. I found satisfaction in this movie. It is, simply put, the best adaption of a book to the screen that I have ever seen (due in no small part to its being adapted by A&E rather than hollywood). The casting was excellent, (I love Colin Firth and think he must gain admirers with each viewer) and the acting superb. The scenery and costumes were so authentic and the six hours seemed too short. One small fact that discontented me was the ending. while it was good, it seemed a bit rushed after the time taken with the rest of the story and it left me wanting. Even so, I've still given this movie 5 stars (and would have given more) so obviously the ending did not decrease the value of the movie by much. If you loved Jane Austen's magnificant novel, you ow it to yourself to watch this movie. it will truly take you back to regency england and make you wish to stay.

Summary: SO GOOD. I'm completely addicted.
Review: I bought this DVD set when I heard that the Bridget Jones' movie was based on this BBC adaptation. I have to admit that I like Pride and Prejudice even more than Bridget because it provides many more hours to watch and admire Mr. Darcy. Jennifer Erhle plays an absolutely exquisite Elizabeth Bennett. The movie is done with fine detail and is an excellent adaptation to screen. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a classic love story.

Summary: A MOVIE YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS
Review: By far the most accurate, filmed and acted version of Jane Austen's novel that I have ever had the privilege to see. There is a reason why this A and E home production was and is still their most successful production. The cast could not have been improved upon, and it is true, you will be longing for your own Mr Darcy by film's end. Jennifer Ehle brings the character of Elizabeth Bennett to life and is so believable, you will wish it never ended. You actually want to be her, transported back in time, to experience her courage, wit and growth as a young woman yourself. I won't go into a synopsis on the movie, for there are far too many already and I could hardly improve on them, but I cannot say enough about this film. If you see any version at all, make it this one. Even the most cynical who do not enjoy classic novel or movie period pieces will fall in love with this classic.

Summary: Fantastic Series, but Awful DVD Quality
Review: This production of Austen's classic is truly terrific. It's my family's favorite show and we watch is all the time. With 154 glowing (and well deserved) reviews on Amazon, I won't waste time rehashing how wonderful this series is.HOWEVER, the quality of this DVD conversion is TERRIBLE (hence the four stars)! The color is worse than that of the VHS tapes (I have them, too) and the picture is very grainy. The DVD appears to have been hastily thrown together. I would recommend the VHS tapes over this DVD. It is a shame that the effort and talent that went into the production was not represented better in the DVD format...

Summary: A Work Of Pure Art
Review: This is my favorite mini-series of all time. The acting, cinemaphotography, script, and sound track were so incredible, that I felt like I was put under a magical spell. The cast and crew should be so proud of themselves for creating such a Masterpiece. You literally feel every emotion of love, longing, heartbreak, hope and dispair conveyed by the actors. The on screen chemistry between Elizabeth (Jennifer Ehle)and Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) is so intense and believable that you'd swear they loved one another in real life. Somewhat a Cinderella story, this beautifully adpapted Austin novel will have you watching this bit of heaven, over and over again.

Summary: Brilliant!!!
Review: I'm a young reader, and also declare myself an unconditional Austen's fan. When I first read one of her books (usually I repeat) I only feel discontent in one particular way: I want to meet the characters, SEE THEM! With P&P I felt the same, so I borrowed the DVD from a friend. It was amazing, they just where there, in the real world. I first thought the characters had come to live in Colin Firth's and Jennifer Ehle's bodies! I never saw a film so much according to the original book, I could say even improving it! If you watch that film you won't feel deceived, I promise!

Summary: A truly entertaining video
Review: I was a big fan of the novel Pride and Prejudice. A lot of times when I like a novel, I do not enjoy the movie adaptation. That is not the case with this one. It is a very well acted rendition of the novel. Previous movie adaptations were shorter but they cut out scenes from the novel which were important to the story. I found this adaptation it to be humerous, sad & moving --all in all extremely entertaining.

Summary: Pride and Prejudice Rocks
Review: This movie is great. It's true to the time, and there's no sex or yucky stuff, if you know what I mean. Sometimes in these movies, they make the movie more modern, and it makes it unrealistic. The production of this film was very accurate and hardly missed anything in the book. The dialect is taken directly from the book. Right away, I fell in love with Colin Firth. He's handsome, and plays the part of Mr. Darcy exactly the way I would expect him to. Over the weekend, sometimes I like to splurge, and I watch all 6 episodes. It takes alllll day to do, but I love it. I would recommend watching one episode each night, that way it won't be too much at a time. Over all, this mini series was GREAT! A&E are great producers!

Summary: Great!
Review: I loved Pride and Prejudice! The movie focused on the main bits without losing too much of the non-essentials to the story. It was a very magical film with very authentic buildings, props and costumes. The acting was superb and all of the actors and actresses portrayed their characters very well indeed. To understand the story even more I suggest you read the book.
