"A wonderful film, i give it five stars!"
The movie “Pride and Prejudice” is a wonderful replica of the book by Jane Austen. There is a strong resemblance between the way the characters are in the book and the way that they are portrayed in the film. The movie is a perfect example of a classic and real love story without too much “Hollywood magic.” Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are set apart in the beginning because of social stature, and hate each other because of bad first impressions. By the end of the film, they realize that they belong with each other, and make that very thing happen. This movie surprised me because the title makes you think that it will be very dull, but it is a pleasant and sweet story with a little bit of humor mixed in. “Pride and Prejudice” reflects both the neoclassical and romanticism eras in its sophisticated wit, common language, nature and emotional experiences shown through its characters and scenery. If you are a sap for a good love story without too much “love,” this film is a must see for you. This is a wonderful film and I give it five stars.

End Me Please
When I express my opinion about Pride and Prejudice. I just want to castigate the movie crew. When people are in love in a movie they always have them going in a maze before they really get together. Elizabeth Bennet is in the 1800’s era is living with her parents and four other sisters’. Mrs. Bennet, the mother of the five girls is searching for them a husband that is rich and wealthy. Mrs. Bennet is not letting them give their opinion about what type of husband they want. Elizabeth the smart and open minded one. On the other hand there is Jane who is the pretty “ I’m so innocence one”. Getting deeper in the story Jane and Elizabeth start to encounter with Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Jane and Mr. Bingley start to show more emotion and feeling towards each other. Elizabeth and Darcy are at first of opposites than they start to show there to feelings towards each other. Time pass over than Mr. Darcy comes back one more time than he walks through the fog and him and Elizabeth comes together and lock lips. Basically this movie is for romantic

I feel Like I've Just been Notebook'd
Full of class barriers and formalities, a person could expect this movie to be as boring as the title suggests. This person should be slapped. The Pride and the Prejudice is a love story above all else, but the classic characters help keep the story from being a typical cliché romance movie. I found the movie splendid in picture quality and overall movie presentation. The movie and book are similar right until the end, allowing readers to watch the book they’ve read. The interactions between the characters feel real to the viewer and help bring one into the story. You’ll be booing as characters split and cheering as they’re reunited. Showing signs of the neo-Classical era with the irony of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth’s relationship and the manners of Mrs. Bennett, the Pride and the Prejudice is also showing with the emotions and country life of the Romantic Period. With all the realness of life and the feeling of my heart strings being plucked by a master harpist, Pride and the Prejudice gives me the feeling like I’ve just been Notebook’d.

I Might Need Some More Pepto-Bismol
Pride and Prejudice is a classic book by Jane Austen made into a movie starring Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen. The two fall in love with each other through a rough first impression. Elizabeth (Knightly) is a low class sophisticated woman with sharpness and wit that Darcy (Macfadyen) a rich bachelor who comes out from the shadows to reveal to Elizabeth about his love for her. This movie takes you down from the beginning and spins you around with complete nausea with all the drama that takes place. If you don’t mind that at all, then you can skip the pepto and enjoy the ride. Anyone who enjoys movies with romance and a lack of realism would surely take pleasure in seeing Pride and Prejudice. With both elements from the Neoclassical and Romantic era, it takes place in old time England in the 1700s. Elements of nature move from scene to scene while still keeping the romance alive with passion and manners. I give the movie two out of five stars.

Jealous Love
Pride and Prejudice was a wonderful movie as well as the book. However, in the end of the movie a lot of details that were included in the book were taken out of the movie, which affected the realism of the movie. This movie and book is the complete opposite of the neoclassical era, but a wonderful example of the Romanticism era because of the feelings in the movie and human like experiences. The story was about a family; husband, wife, and five children all of which were different in personality. The mother wanted all of her children to marry someone rich so that their family would inherit a good wealth. One of the daughters had all signs of not getting married to anyone. She met a wealthy man, Mr. Darcy, she fell in love with him and eventually got married. However his aunt was highly upset because of their love. I would recommend everyone to watch the movie and read the book, especially if you like the romantic period.

Pretty Darn Good
Pretty Darn Good This movie really wasn’t that bad at all. The acting was pretty descent and it was very similar to the book. Pride and Prejudice is a good romantic movie without a massive amount of kissing or all of the lovey dovey things that are usually found throughout love stories. In fact the only real love scenes are at the very end of the movie. The fact that the movie is so close to the book makes it even better because movies based off books are often butchered up and totally changed for the sake of entertainment, but this movie is fairly accurate until the last scene which is the only scene that is totally different from the book and also the only kiss in the movie. This movie actually kept my attention, which isn’t something easily done. Lady Catherine is an unexpected antagonist, whom I found myself badly hoping would not get her way. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are two wonderful who reject society and are two people you just want to see together. This is an excellent movie with a few surprising twists and a sweet ending that leaves you with a warm feeling inside.

Romance in Romantism
Romance in the Romantism A pride and prejudice review By Daniel Ray White Pride and Prejudice is about a young woman named Elizabeth who upholds a responsibility to parents and her sisters. In the movie she meets a man named Mr. Darcy who at first didn’t care much for at all. The film contains countless emotional moments that will make the viewer feel the intense drama. In my opinion I believe that the movie shows how life in the romantism era is like where everyone expresses emotion yet at the same time think logically. This film is very unique and can’t be compared to any other movie. This movie also expresses and depicts the author, Jane Austin. If I were to rate this movie I would give it four out of five stars for the raw emotions and expressions observed in this film. One thing I liked most about the film is that it stuck to the events in the novel and the only differences were at the end. Overall the movie was great and was really romantic and the only negative thing I can possibly say about this film is that I thought they should have kept the original total, First Impressions.

The Perfect Movie
Pride and Prejudice is a classic love story between many young people from two different classes. I unlike some people thought that the movie was much better than the book. The movie had all of the qualities that a good movie should have. The movie had the villain Lady Katherine, the mother who just wanted her daughters to marry well, and a father that couldn’t let go of his little girl, then there was Mr.Wickom the man who lost all of his money and was paid of to marry the youngest daughter Lydia. The language of the movie came from the neoclassical era around the 1700’s. Elizabeth was my favorite character of the movie because she spoke her opinions about everything and she wouldn’t be forced to marry someone that she didn’t love. But Jane, Elizabeth’s older sister was very soft spoken and didn’t really say what she felt. Jane married Mr. Bingly because she loved him and not because she was forced too. I honestly thought that Elizabeth still would have not been married at the end of this movie because of who she was. In my opinion this movie was a great movie and everyone should see it.

Pretty good typically love story!
Watching Pride and Prejudice this first thing you notice is the main characters ability to stand out from the rest of her sisters. I find Keira Knightley the perfect component for Austen character, Elizabeth. Her acting skills are on key with Elizabeth’s persistence and stubborn attitude. You can tell right in the beginning that Elizabeth is different from the rest of her money hungry sisters. Elizabeth looks for more that money or land, as she refuses Mr.Collins hand in marriage. When first meeting Mr.Darcy she finds him dull and nothing special. Right away you can tell Mr.Darcy is intrigued by Elizabeth’s beauty. Mr. Bingely, Mr. Darcy’s counsin falls for Elizabeth’s sister, Jane. Mr. Darcy does not see Jane’s love for Mr. Bingely so, he drives Bingely away from happiness. Soon as Elizabeth hears the news of what Mr. Darcy has done she is outraged. They meet up to discuss the crisis. You can see the temper in Elizabeth’s face as she is disgusted by Mr. Darcy. He tries to explain and confesses his love for her. Elizabeth being the strong person she is tries not to at shocked and ignores it. Elizabeth is too hard head to see that she is in love with Mr. Darcy. She does not want to admit that she is in love with this man that drives her insane. Nevertheless, she finally lets her guard down and falls in love with Mr. Darcy.

Austen Is Amazing. . .
This movie is a wonderful take on the book. Emma Thompson did a superb job writting some of the script, especially where Charlotte makes her speech to Lizzie about marrying Collins. It was well thought out, and wonderfully executed. A MUST SEE!!!!

Sweet and chaste
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite movie, with expressive acting, lovely cinematography, an exquisite score, and an examination of the harsh realities even amongst people of plenty. As an additional enticement, parents will have little to object to in this innocent love story, as opposed to many other so-called ‘romantic’ movies of today.

Look at the scenery if you don't like the plot
I loved it. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I absolutely loved it. The filming was superb and one scene where Elizabeth is standing on the edge of a cliff is breathtakingly beautiful. The song everyone keeps playing on the piano gets to be a it repetitive, but it's a lovely song so I didn't mind. If you can't appreciate a nice love story, then you've been watching too much violent TV.

Beautiful!
This was such a good movie. It was very clean and could be watched by a child most any age (though younger children may not understand what's going on). Fabulous!

Not for me!
The first few minutes of the movie turned me off, you couldn't understand what the characters were saying & what they did say wasn't worth hearing. maybe i never got into the gorgeous romance part...but i didn't care for it much-and I am, yes, a sappy romantic 17 year old.

perfect....
This movie was one of the best movies i have ever seen!!! It was full of love and romance and it was just simply wonderful!!!! If you are the type of person who likes romance and isn't bored by it then you will love it!!! it may be confusing in the beginning because of their English accents and you may not understand whats happening but if you just wait and watch the whole thing it will all come together. You actually might have to watch it 2 times in order to completely understand every thing and thats ok because you aren't wasting your time!!! and this movie has no disturbing content whatsoever and is perfectly fine for anyone to watch. However i don't recommend this movie for younger kids because they won't understand everything and will get bored. so this is a great movie for a bunch of girls at a sleepover who are craving a romantic movie!!! :)
