 - The Ultimate Chick FlickI just love this version of Jane Austin's story. The book was amazing, but I believe this is very good and true to the story. Of course, the details of the book can't all be included, but this includes quite a bit due to the amazing 5 hour duration! They did add some things not in the book, but I thought they were good additions. The acting is wonderful, inspiring the full range of emotions. I also love the Kyra Knightly version, and Bride & Prejudice, but this is the one I chose to purchase for my video library. It's a MUST HAVE for Chick Flick lovers! Rating: - The Best Production of Austen ever done!There has never been, and never will be, a better production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were perfection! I have watched this dvd over and over again and was inspired to reread the novel with each viewing. Mr. Darcy and Lizzy could not have been better portrayed and Firth now will forever be Mr. Darcy in my mind each time I think of his character. Every now and then we are given a true gift in life, and this beautiful version of my favorite novel is it. It has brought Jane Austen back into the limelight to be viewed and loved by the world once again. A masterpiece for sure. Timeless! Wonderful! Brilliant! Rating: - An all-time favoriteI absolutely love this video. I always have, since I saw it as a teenager. The actors are well-picked and portray the characters of Darcy and Elizabeth well, not to mention the supporting cast's amazing contributions in depth and attitude. A definite must for any classical movie-lover. Rating: - Great movie!This is such a great movie! Watched it several times. Would highly recommend it!! Rating:  - Finally, a production that makes Darcy 3DYou can always trust BBC in excellence in costume drama, both the 1975 and this version are the most authentic adoptation I've seen. What I particularly liked about this production is that unlike the 1975 production, the '96 Mr. Darcy is no longer just Elizabeth's beau - but a character with substance, commending its own place in the story. ......and to the skeptical men readin this review, I AM preferring to the famous Colin-Firth-walks-out-of-the-lake scene.............. Before Elizabeth's visit to Pemberly, Mr. Darcy was just one of her suitors, created to give Austin a chance to show off Elizabeth's quick wit and acid tonge. Pemberly is the real entrance for Mr. Darcy. From here on, the author began to concentrate on him, giving him life, voice and presence. So what's wrong with emphasising this grand entrance by making a bit of splash?! ^_^
