Pride and Prejudice (2006, DVD)

I was unsure about how I would like this version of the classic. There have been so many and some have been very good. I was pleasantly surprised by the great acting and scenes. Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen were a great couple and Jena Malone added a great touch to the role of Lydia.
This was an excellent version.

I bought this wonderful dvd from a wonderful seller. They shipped the package immediately! I was very surprised and pleased to notice that I didn't have to pay for shipping and I was even better pleased when the package arrived soon after the purchase was made.

A wonderful movie. For the female romantic...a must see! I rented it and then decided it had to be part my collection! Love this movie!!

Pride and Prejudice is wonderful movie with romance, humor, and a bit of mystery. I'm thrilled that the language and subject content were clean so that all my children could be in the room while the show played. The copy I purchased was a foreign copy so the end was different than the U.S. version and that was disappointing. But, especially with the U.S. ending, it is a delightful movie.

Kiera Knightly was a shade too giggly and far too lovely to portray accurately the vivacious but plainer Elizabeth Bennett. Darcy was far more interesting (and barbed) in the novel than in this film. Donald Sutherland was delightly understated and woefully underused as Mr. Bennett. Still, this film would stand up to multiple viewings (for me the real test of whether to purchase a DVD or merely rent).

This is one of the oldest love stories! This is the actual getting to know the heart of someone and falling in love from the inside out! What an amazing story! We may all have experienced a Mr. Darcy.

Though the story line differed from the Jane Austen book written so long ago and from the 2 other versions I have seen on VHS/DVD, it turned out to be a very good adaptation. It moved very fast, and background music was too loud at times, but no one could doubt the actors abilities. If you have only seen this version of P&P you should take the time to read the book.

I recall reading several books of this era in High School but nothing does this era any justice as this film does. The actors are absolutely brilliant when portraying their characters. They make you feel as if you were there with them and you can't imagine a life with out such passion and love for another person after watching Mr. Darcey and Elizabeth! This is one of my favorite movies now. I watch it very often and I see things differently each time. I recommend watching it at least twice in order to attain all of the beauty of this classic film. However, the more you watch it the better understanding you recieve from this film. I love the scene where Elizabeth & Mr. Darcey Dances together alone. That is awesome! Actually the entire movie is awesome! Highly Recommended if you are love classic romance films. It is a most ardently love film for two complete but similar people who find themselves at first appalled by each other and their pride and prejudice rises in both of them each time they run into each other leading them to fall head over hills in love with each other! AWESOME! The best version of this film ever made!

I first saw this movie as a video store rental and decided right away I wanted it for my personal collection. It is currently my favorite movie, and I'm sure will continue to be one of my top favorites for a long time. This says a lot about it since I enjoy a wide variety of genres, including drama, action/adventure, horror, comedy, and anime, to mention a few. It is definately a chick flick, and would be enjoyed by those who like romantic or period movies.

What I like about it, besides its classic story line, is the scenery, the musical score, and the general grandeur of it. Many have criticized this version of the movie, 1 - for what they perceive as poorly casted roles, and 2 - for not strictly adhering to the actual dialogue of the book and cutting out too much of the story. In my opinion, the acting is very good, and Keira Knightly's performance as Elizabeth Bennet is right on. Matthew MacFadyen does a more than passable job as Mr. Darcy, and the supporting roles are portrayed reasonably well. In response to #2 above, the script writers did take a few liberties with the dialogue, not so much in what was said, but with which character said it. However, I found that this did not interrupt the flow of the story. As for cutting out too much of the story, this was a necessity in order to make a reasonal length mainstream feature film. Compared to the 6-hour 1995 A&E miniseries, which I consequently checked out from the library to make a comparison to the new release, they did leave a lot out, and I must admit that those extra few hours did make the story flow a little more smoothly. But, those extra scenes didn't make me enjoy that version more. After seeing the two, I still like the shorter 2006 version better. And I'm sure that hard-core Jane Austin fans would argue vehemently with me on that.

The only thing I disliked didn't so much have to do with the movie as it did with the particular DVD I purchased. Be sure to get the version the was released in the US. I got a version that I think was an import. There is some Asian writing embossed on the label and the box is slightly different than others I've seen, which I didn't notice until after I got it. The only difference between my version and the one I rented from the video store is the ending. My version does not include the final scene, about 1 minute, that I saw in the rental. In fact I probably would not have even missed it except I expected it to be there and, thus, was disappointed.

I highly recommend this movie to most women - I did say chick-flick - and even a few men.

I needed to own this movie after seeing it once. Ah, what a celebration of love. I watch the movie EVERY DAY! A+ on all account.

There is know profit to be made on ebay.

It is a copy that was made and is all jumpy and doesn't work on the DVD playerI thi8nk the copy was made and then sold.

I can´t give you any review about this product because i never recieved it. I´am disapointed because i tried to comunicate with the seller and i also gave advise to e-bay without any results. I only trew my money to the street. For te moment i don´t feel like trying again this experience again!

The 2006 production of Pride and Prejudice is a work of photographic art. Breathtaking scenery, creative and graceful camera movements, and smooth transitions make this film a visual pleasure. A romantic and sweeping score carries you along through the classic story.

The actors in this film, provided that they had a limited amount of time to develop their characters on screen, did a remarkable job, although sometimes some spoke too quickly, almost rushed, as if trying to get it over with. There is, however, a wonderful chemistry between all of them. Two thumbs up for the casting director, as well as the actors themselves.

I personally love Jane Austen's classic story, and while I am a huge fan of the BBC version (starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle as Darcy and Elizabeth), I can say that I really do enjoy this new film. It certainly is much shorter and easier to watch in one sitting, although bits of the storyline are lost in the shortness of it.

Overall, I highly recommend this film to anyone. If you haven't seen it, I recommend renting it, to see if you like it. If you end up liking it as much as I do, you just may end up purchasing it like me, too.

The seller was not telling the truth about the location of the products or the origin. The DVD was shipped and duplicated in India, when the seller clearly stated it was and original located in Canada. Once we received the DVD it did not work so we asked for our money back. I immediately returned the DVD and never heard form the seller again. I turned them into E-Bay for being unethical. They have since stop selling on E-Bay and I am out the $12. I must say that I have bought and sold many items on E-bay and this is the only bad experience I had. It is not an E-Bay issue it was all the seller.

What a beautiful movie this is! Every frame in this film is picturesque. The actors are superb. Widescreen for this dvd is a must! Absolutely delightful.

very very good movie please send me more movies like that to see. I like the movie from begin to end.

My review is about the movie, NOT about the service I received from an eBay seller. I thought that was what feedback was for! As a huge fan of everything Jane Austen I found this movie to be excellent--not perfect maybe, certainly not exactly by the book--but so very delightful. I've watched it several times now and purchased the soundtrack, which is very good to read by as well. The departures this movie makes from the novel are actually very creative and not at all distracting, or in my opinion damaging to the author's intention. I enjoyed the warmer, more casual, livelier, and perhaps less genteel attitude of the characters too, though also a slight departure from the book. The cinematography takes you away in era and area. Matthew MacFadyen (also starring in the BBC series MI-5) stole my heart (I nearly swooned!), with his fluttering lashes and breathless confession of love for the bewitching Lizzy, played by Keira Knightly who was just great (I'd love to be her). Brenda Blethyn, though just as flighty as the other actors I've seen play this character, is far more loveable than any Mrs. Bennett I've seen so far, even more than the character in the book--but then I adore all of Brenda Blethyn's acting. Donald Sutherland gave a wonderful performance as Mr. Bennett too, but this story is more about the girls and I thoroughly adored them all. Plus, since this version is a only 2 hours and 9 minutes long, you can get your fix of Austen and not have to dedicate a whole day to get it. I highly recommend this adaptation. It's just beautiful. I relax in my comfortable chair with a hot cuppa tea, some dark chocolate candy and escape.

I bought this movie because I love it! However, the product that I purchased via ebay turned out to be a burned copy of the orginal. There was no indication that this product was a copy on its description page. It only said that it did not come with a case. I returned the product because I was disgusted that I was tricked into buying a pirated copy. I have strong feelings against piracy since it is a form of stealing. I notified the seller that I was sending the product back to them and why I was doing so. I demanded a full refund and I received it.

Simply one of the Best! If you liked, loved, or just cleaned house while "Sense and Sensibility" was on - you're in for a treat with "Pride and Prejudice". Filmed in the same atmosphere and attention to detail, this somewhat more complex storyline (mainly because of the large cast of characters) lights up your heart with unbelievably beautiful scenery and costumes, not to mention fantastic acting. Keira Knightly fans will be thrilled with her perfect performance - and the dashing men will melt your heart. The ending is so good that you'll bawl like a baby with joy every time you see it. This is also a fantastic soundtrack! Overall - if you enjoyed Sense and Sensibility, you'll LOVE "Pride and Prejudice"!

One of best versions of P&P. Amazing cinematography, smart, funny and of course romantic. Both Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFayden are amazing. Keira brings fire and youth to Elizabeth, and Matthew is a great Mr. Darcy, perfecting that smoldering, understated longing for his true love. I absolutely loved this movie. An defintate must-see.

One of the few "chick flicks" I truly enjoyed! Jane Austin's Masterpiece is beautifully brought to life. The chemistry between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is spellbinding. A wonderfully romantic Movie with shades of refreshing period comedy!

I was not aware that it would take 4 weeks to get my DVD. Plus, It is a foreign DVD that will not play in my DVD player; I can only watch it on my laptop. More information should of been provided

Dreadful revisionist treatment of the Austen classic. Darcy is in particular unrecognizable, while the Bennett family seems to have been just out of rehearsal for Little House on the Prairie. Director and producer should grind their axe on some other work!
