More complaints about P+P 2005

What bollocks. Pride and Prejudice is a crock of shite, devoid of any noticable acting, a risible 'modernised' script and a plot incomprehensible to anyone who wasn't already au fait with the book. The characters were poorly developed, the Bennet sisters were little more than a gaggle of giggling girls, Mr Bennet mumbled his lines - and when he didn't you could clearly tell he wasn't from round there. Keira Knightley an actress? Rubbish. She can't act for toffee - look at all the Jennifer Ehle mannerisms she resorted to in the P&P film - she had no idea how to play her character. I could go on. P&P is one of the worst films I've ever seen and I'm disgusted that I was tricked into buying the DVD of it by the ridiculous hype and uncritical reviews.

Keira Knightley's nomination for an Oscar is (in my opinion) not worthy, especially considering the original performance by Jennifer Ehle, which was exquisite. Knightley's appearance and continual sulky expression did nothing to show the kindly nature of the character Elizabeth Bennet. Her omission from the BAFTA nominations was a reflection of her poor performance as that character, although her acting has to be acknowledged as good in general. Having said that, the fact that Munich received Oscar nominations a plenty is testament to the quality of not only the film, but also the acting; it is a superb film well worthy of acclaim.

Keira Knightley is a gem and was perfect in P&P! Lord, I loved Colin and Jennifer a decade ago, but let's get over it folks! Different treatment, different times. Keira shines - she may not deserve to win the Oscar (look at the competition) but she earned the nomination.

Keira's omission from the BAFTAs really is a disgrace. Shouldn't we be showing our appreciation for a truly beautiful piece of cinema? Keira shines as Miss Bennet, in a way that could only come through a reading of THE BOOK, not of past productions. Let us not forget the very different formats the two productions above named are in. Joe Wright does an admirable job with the story, as do Matthew Macfadyen and the rest of the cast. The voters should be ashamed of themselves.

I haven´t seen the film but I agree with you: Keira Knightley is not an actress. I love Colin since I watched P&P, and Jennifer Ehle was perfect there...
I wait for your new reviews of movies!
