@julian11gab yours criteria for judging adaptations of austen seems to be symptomatic of large number of self styled austen fans;
casting of attractive('deadly' romantic!)actors, romantic scenery and setting, what some ppl call (and far from real) english look and accents, etc etc
-
even though charlotte bronte is on record expressing her dislike of austen, with such judges,no wonder producers of 2005 version changed austen to a bronte. it included the very things she thought austen lacked
-
this is an adaptation of the successful broadway play. period was deliberately changed.
this is quite good, esp with regard to comedy
austen wrote comedies(or satires) of manners, not romance novels (as some ppl seem to believe).
it is not perfect. but no adaptation is perfect.
in fact one of the good things about this is it doesn't try hard to be like the book, and thus fail, like others.
1979/80, 1995, also good.
2005(more like a bronte instead of austen) really bad.

that's SO not Mr.Darcy LOL

@ch1he1sen 2005 is surely the best version. :D
-
love the colin firth version so much but like all 3 actually- this one was good too
-
Well I was quite surprised at Lady Catherine's approval of Lizzy for sure. :)
-
i liked the 2005 version the best, the whole setting and cast was amazing, while this one does look american and not english. plus keria knightly looks beautiful and a great Elizabeth and mr darcy looks deadly gorgeous in every scene =)

"do you know what ur saying" "yes im asking you to marry me"
geez that's like THE line (and body motion) they always use in movies of that time...very undarcy-like

Pathetic!
it looks so funny and sort of out of time because of the clothes, too american and gone-with-the wind like.
1995 is surely the best version :)
