Summary: Awsome movie!!!!
Review: If you love Jane Austen or movies such as Sense and Sensibility and Jane Eyere you will love Prid and Prejiduce with Colin Firth this movie is the book word for word they leave nothing out! They chose the actors and actresses perfectly you will fall in love with this movie and its characters. I give Colin Firth ten stars for his acting in this movie and you will also love him in Bridget Jones' Diary where he also plays Mr. Darcy.

Summary: Hooray!
Review: This is a great movie! I would like to comment specifically on this edition. I have had it on VHS(the 6 tape version), the first DVD release and now this release. This release is highly superior in every way to the first DVD release. The last release looked like it was copied directly onto DVD from the VHS tapes; the picture quality was not at all improved, there were no special features and the credits still ran at the beginning and ending of each of the original six episodes. It was easier than dealing with six tapes, but otherwise a disappointment. I'm so much happier with this one! The picture quality is so much richer, there are only credits at the beginning and end of the entire movie and there are some very interesting special features. I wasn't sure if it would be worth it to buy the newer release on DVD since I already had the first one, but I'm so glad I did!

Summary: Best film adaptation ever, but DVD quality is flawed
Review: Okay, I am a big fan of this movie and could rave on and on about it. I have watched it endlessly on my VHS tapes and thought the DVD version would be the answer to my prayers. I'd give this DVD version five stars if I could, but unfortunately the quality of the picture is flawed. Unlike other reviewers, I have no complaints about the colors or the color-contrast. My complaint is about the last three seconds of the final scene just before the credits on the first disc: the image turns grainy and mottled for those three seconds. In the final seconds on disc one, Darcy has just proposed marriage to Elizabeth Bennett, been rejected, and left the room in a huff. Now, a close up on Elizabeth's face registering shock and anger, but this all-important close-up of our heroine's face in a most important scene is marred by sudden graininess and mottling!...

Summary: Flawed transfer of a great entertainment
Review: I've never seen a better (or more complete) adaptation of a classic novel than this version of Pride and Prejudice. The costumes, sets, and music are all first rate. The acting is uniformly terrific, from leads Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, all the way down to the smallest characters, such as Mr. Wickham's fellow officers.I do have a criticism of the DVD, however. I had taped the original American A&E broadcast, and watched it several times over, and the DVD, thankfully, eliminates all of the annoying breaks and even includes additional snippets of scenes here and there, some of them significant. The color and contrast, however, are very poor. All of the lighter colors, particularly the faces of the actors and the dresses of the women, are very bright and washed out. In contrast, the darker images are too dark. As a result, much of the richness and the detail that I can see on my otherwise poor video is absent in the DVD. Otherwise, however, the DVD image is clear and steady, and the sound excellent. Despite this criticism of the DVD, this version of Pride and Prejudice is probably the best television production I've ever seen, and, therefore, well worth the money.

Summary: Pride & Prejudice Colin Firth perfect
Review: This was the best Jane Austen production of all time and that is really because never has there been a better Darcy portrayal.Who could not fall in love with this man? The cast gave new meaning to their characters. Perfect performances all around, but I must say again that no one has ever done Darcy as I imagined him to be until Colin Firth, goreous!

Summary: DVD - SPecial Version Review - Not a review of P&P
Review: After owning the original DVD version since it was released, I
was ready for this release, no more annoying breaks every hour
with the same listing of actors. I really wanted to view the
extras that were with this version. But what a waste of money,
I now watch the original,. and the new one is collecting dust.
The picture quality was/is horrible, all the colors washed out
in the scenery and the faces/clothes of the actors. This is the
last DVD purchase I will make that comes from A&E Entertainment. What a shame, because I was a satisfed customer until now. BTW - The movie no matter the picture quality is awesome and well worth the money.

Summary: Perfection of Character
Review: I was ecstatic to find that this Miniseries was put on DVD. Although, quite a lengthy tale, it is one that is most sufferable. Some people find English movies and tales a linguistic obstacle. Words carry great depth and there is a forte for which the English have when carrying out their feelings and convictions. I love the mystery found in English period pieces. The word-play can literally send you into a frenzy to figure out the next tidbit. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth play the title characters - Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth is frank, sweet, intelligent, playful, free-spirited, witty, and loving. Mr. Darcy is brooding, interferring, cold, sarcastic, and blunt. Firth really makes you hate Mr. Darcy. He is as friendly as jack frost. These two seem born to play these roles. They reverbate off one another. When the pair are in the scene together, you can feel the intensity. You'll find that Mr. Darcy isn't all bad, but he has been conditioned much by his station in life. Elizabeth teaches him a lesson or two. He gets a huge reality check from her heart! Firth and Ehle are supported by a wonderful cast of characters. Some of these include an overemotional self-centered mother, a complacent and witty father, an bungling cousin, an earnest and loving sister, and 4 other sisters wild in character and temperment... plus many other entertaining supporting characters. It is a Romance to rival all others as well as drama and comedy of words. A masterpiece. I dare to say that another remake would fail to surpass the eloquence of this production.

Summary: Fabulous! Buy This Title Now!!!!
Review: I rented this movie after watching 'Bridget Jones' time upon time. After seeing Helen Fielding's comments on Mark Darcy being directly based upon Colin Firth's portrayal of Mr. Darcy, I had to give it a viewing. While many of the period pieces I have watched over the years were dry and overacted, this one is a true gem. Upon renting it, I stayed up until 4 a.m. because I could not tear myself away. I have watched it five more times since and currently have the DVD on order so I can magically zap myself to my favorite scenes. Oustanding. All of the characters are beautifully portrayed and the cinematography brilliant. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle take my breath away. I feel like one of the Bennet sisters now. You really MUST buy this movie. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Best Austen Adaptation
Review: The measure of how good this production is can be shown by the fact that despite having seen it three times previously, my wife and I stayed up until two in the morning to watch the entire film. Much better on DVD, without those artificial commercial breaks, and low-quality image on television, the film is superbly acted all around. Jennifer Elhe walks walks away with the honors here; her Elizabeth Bennett is perfect. Colin Firth's inarticulate Darcy is an excellent foil for her. Simon Langton's direction is good, straightforward, letting the actors speak Austen's one paragraphers (as opposed to one-liners) with all the impetus required to deliver such well-constructed prose. Even the divergances from the novel are welcome; there is nothing overly arty or disruptive to upset the narrative. Too bad nobody has the guts to reshoot this film with this cast with Hollywood production standards. Compare the lighting to "Sense and Sensibility" which is filmed in equisite light. Still, this is a better film, despite the absence of any name stars.

Summary: A "Must Have" version of P&P
Review: I can't remember ever enjoying a mini-series as much as I enjoyed this one. It is a flawless production with a brilliant cast that you will grow to love every time you watch it. Jennifer Ehle is marvelous as Lizzie as is the rest of the cast. I was excessively diverted.
