Summary: Good but...
Review: First let me say that I really enjoyed this version of P&P. I liked all of the production elements within this movie. It is very good and any fan of Jane Austin's work will probably enjoy this. My only points of contention are with the casting (the aunt & does Colin Firth ever smile?)and occational "dumming-down" of the original text. If you want a alternate version check out the 1982 version from the BBC. The sets aren't as nice but the casting and language are much more in line with the book.

Summary: A must for any Jane Austen fan
Review: A great BBC production of one of the best known works of Jane Austen. Wonderful locations and period buildings contribute to the regency atmosphere of this drama. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy is undoubtedly the best, he exactly represents the dark and broody hero with a heart of gold. Jennifer Ehle is perfect as the sensibile Bennet daughter. All the cast are superb living upto Austens representation of them in her book.A timeless classic.

Summary: Pretty good movie
Review: My wife has been trying to get me to watch this movie ever since we were dating. She has read the book about 20 times, and seen the movie about 30 times. She finally got me to watch it about a week ago. It was a good movie. It is not the type of movie that I would go out and rent myself, or that I would have watched with my roomates back when I was single (we would have given noogies and called eachother sissies at even the mention of watching a movie like this), but I enjoyed it. On the other hand, at home with my wife, it was a pretty good movie to see. THe acting was really good, and the story just sort of kept getting better and better. Also there were some really memorable lines in it.In any case for the guy that likes action movies, well, this movie is probably not for you. But if your wife or lady-fair wants to watch it, well it is a pretty good movie to watch together. (I am sure that there are some people who are going to hate me for my comments, but that's what I think).

Summary: One of my Favorite Mini Series of All Time!
Review: This 1995 BBC adaption of Jane Austen's novel is an absolute Feast for the senses. The costumes are magnificent, the music divine and the scenery is perfection. When I first saw this on KPBS in 1995 I did not want it to end; and couldn't wait until the next evening came so I could watch the next part. Colin Firth is excellent as Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle is equally as Wonderful as Elizabeth Bennett.The rest of the cast was very well chosen as well, from Susanna Harker as Jane Bennett, Elizabeth's older sister, to the actress who played the flighty Lydia Bennett. The Music in this mini series was also so fabulous that I also bought the CD. I loved this BBC version of Austen's novel so much, that When it came out on DVD about Three years ago, I bought it; and have watched it in one sitting many, many times since then. The quality of My DVD version of this mini series is excellent, so I can only assume that some other reviewers just got unlucky with theirs. Buy this movie and you will be watching it over and over again too, it is wonderful!!!

Summary: I beg to differ!
Review: I have to disagree with Mr King - the technical quality of this DVD does no justice to the production. While its excellent content completely overshadows comparative trivia such as picture quality, I fear that people expecting a visual treat to match the artistry will be disappointed. We have PAL tapes of the original BBC broadcasts(which are not that old!)and they outshine this DVD, even accounting for technical differences between NTSC and PAL formats. I fear this disc has suffered at some stage from a very poor PAL to NTSC transfer - other NTSC US discs have fared far better on our TV.

Summary: This adaptation changed the course of my life! (seriously!)
Review: Can a miniseries based on an old book instigate friendships, inspire hobbies, and influence one's vocabulary? It is a truth universally acknowledged!!! :o) This adaptation has achieved cult-worship status online and beyond, evidenced by the birth and growth of a major Jane Austen discussion site originally conceived in its honor. In the eight years between my first reading of Pride & Prejudice and my first viewing of this wonderful adaptation, I built up a good many mental images as to what the characters should look like, how the scenes should be blocked out, and how the various locations should appear. Amazingly enough, this miniseries duplicated almost PRECISELY every detail I'd imagined! It really makes you fall in love with the story...whether you're an old P&P fanatic or a complete Austen 'virgin,' you'll stay up all hours of the night to finish watching the whole thing!!! Before long, you'll find yourself quoting the characters and using "Austenspeak" involuntarily! On a more personal note, my obsession with this production got me involved with a myriad of other fans from all over the world, and reignited my latent Austen fascination. It also got me interested in historical costuming and Regency history and dance. Happy thought indeed!

Summary: The Best of Pride and Prejudice Captured on Film!
Review: This 6 Tape mini series is the closest that film has ever come to the actual novel. Following the story practically perfect, it stars Colin Firth as the silant Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Etle as the outspoken Elizabeth Bennet. Also if you have seen the A&E version of Emma, the same woman that plays Augusta also portrays one of Mr. Bingleys sisters Mrs. Hurst. With wonderful acting and excellant scenery especially Pemberly these tapes are a must for every Jane Austen Fan.
