Another of my favorite moives.<br /><br />I reviewed the BBC version as part of this challenge... had never seen it before. And I HATED it. People always carry on about Colin Firth and how the BBC version is so wonderful. I couldn't stand it.

I liked Colin Firth a lot, but Macfadyen was just awesome. And finally a truly lovely Jane!<br /><br />I like the "new" Bingley, too. He's sweet and funny.Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975960610448561082.post-11231369344736484522009-12-08T17:00:52.039-08:002009-12-08T17:00:52.039-08:00I LOVED this movie as well.

This is one of my desert island movies...you know where you could only bring 5 movies with you to watch forever. I loved Matthew Macfadyen and think he is a perfect Mr. Darcy. I am happy to see we have yet another thing in commom Kathy:).

Breathtakingly beautiful. Didn't like Mathew Macfadyen's portrayal, but it was alright. The only other actor I didn't like was the one who played Mr. Bingley - I've seen him in a movie since though and I really like him in it. All the other actors were an improvement over the one with Colin Firth(love him) - except for Mary E Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13119298615414367828noreply@blogger.com
