Pride and Prejudice (2005): Pride and Prejudice (2005): More Visual Poem Than Adaptation

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:28:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author befus - Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen never met. They're both now remembered as great English novelists who created complex heroines, but if you put them side by side on a time line you would see that they just barely overlap. Austen died in 1817, a year...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Pride & Prejudice (2005): Jane Austen Lite

Sun, 11 Mar 2007 12:46:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WulfsDen - The 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightley, is the latest in a long string of attempts to bring Jane Austen's 1811 classic love story to the screen. Charles Dickens may well have been reviewing this movie when he wrote, "It...

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:08:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author WhtdoIKnow - OK. Had a few of these to get off my chest from recent outings to the picture show. Thinking about how good Children of Men was I was reminded of “Pride and Prejudice” and just had to say something. It’s...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Pride and Prejudice: The Book Deserved Better

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 19:49:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jsindygirl - Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen book. I have read most of her major works and have always found that it is the story of Elizabeth and her Mr. Darcy that draws me time and time again. I have watched other adaptations of Jane Austen movies...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): "Pride and Prejudice"- A movie you can fall in love with.

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 01:52:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thompsonblue - Do you believe in love at first sight? Well that’s exactly what happened the first time I watched this movie- I was completely blown away by the drama and emotion in this movie, and fell in love with each and every character. Originally...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Abomination with Austen's name.

Sun, 28 May 2006 17:12:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author oakborn - I have mostly avoided watching this treatment of Pride & Prejudice for fear of what evil butchery that might have been done to it. Mind you, I'm a fan of the book and the 1995 mini-series, which is a nigh unreachable benchmark. I don't know so much...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Pride and Prejudice ~ 2005 ~ didn’t live up to my expectations

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dramastef - I debated with myself for a long time about whether or not to watch the latest film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. I’m often hesitant to watch adaptations of my favorite books, but this one especially, since I thought it had...

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 01:06:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author telynor - Recently I had the opportunity to sit through this film about three times on a very long flight. Having been a fan of Jane Austen's work ever since I was an impressionable young teen, I was looking forward to taking in this adaptation of what is probably...

Thu, 9 Mar 2006 14:34:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bilbopooh - A few years back, I was introduced to the Jane Austen classic Sense
and Sensibility. It quickly became one of my favorite books, and Emma Thompson’s masterful adaptation one of my favorite movies. My...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): What A Delight!

Tue, 24 Jan 2006 16:36:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avidaustingirl - Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice was an absolute delight. The characters could not have been better portrayed. They transported you right alongside them into Jane Austin's world of lonely walks through scrumptious grassy fields, longing glances across...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author loveydovey25 - In this version of Pride & Prejudice Keira Knightley plays "Elizabeth" who meets Mr. Darcy at a ball slowly but surely she starts to fall head over heels for him. By the time her 2 sisters marry she finally sees the light & professes her love to...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): When Good Should Have Been Great, Even Pretty Good is Damn Awful

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 22:19:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - This "yet another" adaptation's biggest accomplishment is coming in at just about 2 hours. It does okay but misses enough of the key notes to leave the end product tepid and without real passion. I don't think anyone will be falling in love with this...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): A Beautiful Film, Well Made

Sat, 17 Dec 2005 17:30:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kevinbailey - This movie was surprising. Surprising in that it surpassed the expectations I had for it. I expected the movie to be simply a "chick flick" with little emotional depth. I am not so proud as to refuse to admit I was wrong. Pride and Prejudice was...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): I Am Proud of Pride & Prejudice

Thu, 8 Dec 2005 20:50:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - A friend and I indulged in some coffee after viewing Pride & Prejudice. We discussed how she'd told her ex-boyfriend, "We were never in love, it was all fake, what you were feeling wasn't real." Hours before that, I would have said, "Eh. Big...

Mon, 5 Dec 2005 21:35:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seatuon - Welcome to the new age of movies, where all older removes are recapped with newer versions. I'll admit I was a bit worried that this movie would be all that wonderful. After the older version, I thought there could be no better. But surprisingly they...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Oh No Darcy, Don't Start Crying... We Got Keira Knightley as Elizabeth... Oh! Charming

Mon, 5 Dec 2005 13:12:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - Novelist Jane Austen has been known for creating witty and fantastic romantic novels during the 19th Century. Several of them had become films like Sense & Sensibility in 1995 by director Ang Lee that starred Emma Thompson who won an award...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Can't hold a candle to the 1995 BBC version

Sun, 4 Dec 2005 10:50:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mom2adog - I hadn't viewed the P&P BBC production until 2004 and I was blown-away by that version. So I was eager to see what all the hype was about for the movie. After all, a movie has a huge budget, isn't constrained by television production schedules, etc...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): fun to watch, even if not historically accurate

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 17:58:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author glowny - When I saw 'Pride & Prejudice', the audience reacted viscerally to many scenes, with drawn breaths, laughter, and other appropriate signs. This version of the classic story has some elements that are not historically accurate. The ending, where the...

Tue, 29 Nov 2005 05:26:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author metalluk - At my house, the release of a new adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a big event indeed. We linked up with another family of "Austenites" and made it a party event. The weekend preceding the big event, my youngest daughter, Alina...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Jane Austen is rolling in her grave

Mon, 28 Nov 2005 17:14:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author uptownchik - This blasphemous movie succeeded only at failing in its weak attempt to portray Austen's complex characters and situations in Pride & Prejudice. The movie does absolutely nothing for Lizzie, stripping her from an intelligent, witty, self-assured woman...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Class Dismissed: Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Sun, 27 Nov 2005 05:07:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trust12345 - There are several things about which I have some measure of expertise, but Jane Austen’s late 18th Century novel Pride and Prejudice and its many TV and film adaptations are most definitely not counted among them. I have the faintest memories...

Fri, 25 Nov 2005 03:26:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virtuelle2 - The latest on-screen reprise of Jane Austen's eternal classic, 'Pride and Prejudice', wastes no time in thrusting you squarely into the unromantic part of the late 18th/early 19th century English countryside, replete with free-ranging poultry and...

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 02:12:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skyrydr - Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is by far and away one of the best films in the past three years. The acting and the casting are perhaps some of the best suited to the story and the scripting. However, there is a magical mixture in this film of a...

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 04:48:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author quidrock - I was fortunate to see the early, limited release version of “Pride and Prejudice” the other evening; the film opens in America, widely, on November 23. Joe Wright was cast to direct the latest version of “Pride and Prejudice”...

Pride and Prejudice (2005): Not So Bad - if You Don't Watch the Last Scene

Mon, 14 Nov 2005 17:36:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pedsgirl06 - As a seriously devout fan of the Colin Firth version of Mr. Darcy (and the novel in general), I had grave doubts about this film. Especially with Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennett - don't get me wrong, I enjoy her acting, but she just seemed too.....
