Summary: All but the color....
Review: As others have stated, the color transfer was not the greatest. But that didnt take me long to look past.

Summary: This is my coke.
Review: This miniseries is my coke. It is the best five hours of my life (well, expcet for maybe hours reading the book). Colin Firth was born to play Darcy; Alison Steadman was born to play Mrs. Bennet; Jennifer Ehle is pitch-perfect as Elizabeth. Sometimes I have to start my day with a 20-minute hit. Call me crazy, but this is good stuff.

Summary: Amazing DVD
Review: This is a great DVD set to own. The acting is great and, of course, the story is a classic. Plus, you'll want to watch Pride and Prejudice over and over again--especially if you're home sick for a day or just feel like spending a rainy winter weekend in bed. There's just something so comforting about the combination of Colin Firth and Jane Austen. I highly reccomend that you pick this DVD up.

Summary: Serious artistic and technical flaws
Review: I am hard of hearing and the lack of captioning makes some of the dialogue difficult to follow and there are language issues. People these days walk on eggshells to avoid offending blacks and gays and Jews and femminists who will have a tempoer tantrum over even accidental offenses against them, but they think nothing of offending God by misusing his name. The use of Blasphemy in this movie is anachronistic, and even if the people making this movie don't believe in God, they don't seem to care that they are offending the people who do believe in God with that kind of language. I bought it because 19th century life was clean, and I am deeply dissapointed because it is another example of what i call "Cafeteria Bigotry," whereby one preaches tolerance and respect for other's opinion, while in actuality they are hypocritically selecting which groups they mind offending, and which groups they don't mind offending.

Summary: Magnificent adaptation of the greatest novel ever written!
Review: 10 Stars!!!! Words cannot express how much I absolutely love this movie. Every time I watch PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, first wearing out my video cassette that I copied from A & E back in 1996 and now with this DVD, I am so swept away by the story, the acting, the costumes, scenery; everything! This movie is PERFECTION! It is so true to the book that whenever I watch this film, I will watch my favorite parts, over and over and over! I do the same thing when I read the book! And having a DVD makes it so much easier. I can watch the chance meeting between Darcy and Elizabeth at Pemberley and, their glance across the room also at Pemberley 10 times in a row! Whenever I watch this movie I am depressed when it is over (like the book).
My only criticism of the DVD is the color on the first disc. Everything is so faded--it's almost like watching it in black and white. How did it pass quality control? The second disc is much better. ...

Summary: Classic family entertainment
Review: Well, this really isn't my kind of movie, but I bought it for my wife who has read the book about 10 times. She loves the movie as much as the book, and I agree that it is a good, wholesome film. The acting is superb and the scenery awesome, but the dvd could use some re-mastering because the colors are a little washed out in some scenes.

Summary: Mary should have married Mr. Collins!
Review: As a loyal Jane Austen fan, I barely decided to watch the A&E-televised "Pride and Prejudice" (the novel was butchered in the Olivier/Garson movie) - but, I've now watched it over and over and can't say enough about it. Every character, with the exception of, perhaps, Charlotte Lucas, is exactly what one should expect from such a well-done production. Please, please - do "Northanger Abbey", still my Austen favorite!

Summary: Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous
Review: I normally hate remakes but this one had to be made. What can I say that hasn't been said already. Colin Firth is a national treasure. Jennifer Ehle is luminous. The great Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson don't hold a candle to these two. As for the two other British television remakes, "feh, pooey!" I doubt this will ever be topped by anyone!
