Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy it
Review: I read other reviews before buying the DVD, and I was worried about the "loss of color" that was mentioned. However, I have not had to deal with this problem, and so I say it is definately worth the risk. Even with faded color, you still get plenty of Colin. Gotta Love It!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Version of a Classic Novel
Review: This is an amazing, amazing DVD! The acting was superb and now I think I love Darcy even more! If you love the book, you'll love the movie. This is a DVD worth having for any Jane Austen fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: This is an absolutely brilliant adaptation of Jane Austens classic. It follows the story precisely and will make you fall in love all over again with the romantic love story. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle's chemistry is unbeatable. They both bring their characters to life with outstanding acting. It is like witnessing the event. This is a must see if you have read the book. I absolutely love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Faults Whatsoever
Review: I love this DVD! I saw some reviews that said the color was bad and that they had to adjust their television sets, but I had no problems, the color was perfect. Also there are no subtitles on the DVD as an option, but if you turn the closed captioning on from your television, it has the subtitles there. It is 5 hours long, and absolutely wonderful, plus the price difference compared to the VHS version is another huge bonus. I bought mine from Digital Eyes, which is one of the companies that you find when you choose Used or New, and it was only around $20 from them brand new. Buy it! You'll Love It!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Its fantastic, I love this movie
Review: Now:

1. Fix the color.
2. Make it standard, or at least make it fit my widescreen TV.
3. Add Surround sound.
4. Subtitles.

Thanks.

Summary: True to the book adaption!
Review: It is always a joy to find a classic book marvelously acted out true to the book. Pride and Prejudice is a family favorite that even (amazingly) my dad enjoys! From hilarious Mrs. Bennett and her "poor nerves" to Darcy and his "cold manner", this movie is a wonderful production. Starring beautiful Jennifer Ehle and handsome Colin Firth, it is a must see for everyone! Very good.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful reproduction quality very disappointing
Review: After viewing the video version, what a disappointment to see the DVD! All the rich, beautiful colors and details of the video are either washed out to white or lost in dark shadow on the DVD. How A&E can claim this is 'remastered' is amazing when it looks like a bad bootlegged version. I've written to A&E--no response. They are probably tired of the complaints from fans of the original. But I would not purchase any other items related to A&E because of the poor quality and poor customer service. There are some snippets of scenes in the 'behind the scenes' portion of the DVD that have the original high-quality color. Too bad it was lost in the 'remastering'.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could there be a better movie? I think not!!!
Review: I watched this 5+hour movie three times the first weekend I saw it! It is simply amazing! The characters are superb...the writing is clever. The emotional drama between Elizabeth and Darcy... need I say more?!!

It is a 'must have' for any Jane Austen/English/Romance movie collector.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This mini-series is a masterpiece!
Review: This mini-series is a satisfying period fairy tale which the BBC produced magnificently. Once you begin, you'll not want to pause. The acting is superb and the scenery is gorgeous. It's simply a must!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Do I even need to say it?
Review: This film is, indeed, utter perfection. For those who quibble over the minor variations from the book, I encourage you to write and produce a better film from this sparkling book. Every change/addition is justified, every scene luminious, every performance practically perfect. This is as close to being a filmed realization of the novel as one could ever hope for.
That being said, the dvd could be better for such a beloved production. Where is the six hour commentary that all of us die-hard fans would love to listen to? Where are deleted scenes or snippets of scenes? Where are bloopers and outtakes or an exhaustive 2 hour making-of documentary? For a Special Edition, many of us have been waiting for this kind of treatment that lesser theatrical films get all the time. I know this is A&E/BBC territory and their resources are not the same as Warner Bros. for instance, but we fans will continue to wish for more features. All in all, though, the series is a sparkling diamond of exquisite cut; the dvd is competent and serviceable until someone produces the "ultimate" special edition.
