Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A masterpiece! Comment: This movie is perfection in every way. It is so perfect that I never get tired of watching it over and over again. We really have the impression of living in Jane Austen's time when watching that movie. All the actors are brilliant, above all Allison Steadman who is superb as Mrs. Bennet. Hats off Andrew Davies, Sue Birtwistle and Simon Langton for such a "chef d'oeuvre". Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent version, and had no problem with subtitles or color Comment: This is by far the best version of "Pride and Prejudice". I believe I have seen every one of them and none compares. Laurence Olivier was great of course as Darcy, but Colin Firth has completely captured the character. I doubt that any one will ever be able to portray Darcy better. I am extremely satified that I purchased the 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition even though I all ready had the original DVD of the same produecton. It is definitely well worth the price. I strongly recommend it to every one. The DVDs come in a beautifully designed case, and I thoroughly enjoyed the accompanying behind-the-scenes disc. Even though Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were busy making other movies and could not be on it, the remaining cast members were very entertaining. The accompanying book, "The Making of Pride and Prejudice" gave wonderful insights to the production. It is extremely well written and full of delightful pictures. If you are a fan, even if you have never seen Pride and Prejudice--do not pass up this one. I do not understand the complaints submitted in several of the other reviews about the color of the film or it's not having subtitles. My 50" television was set at the factory suggested controls, and the color in the DVD was superb! The "woods" were so green and lush it made you feel as if you were actually there with Elizabeth. As far as the subtitles are concerned, I simply hit the "mute" button on my television remote control, and the subtitles were there. Customer Rating: Summary: disappointment Comment: Everything that can be said about this superb story, production, acting, etc. has been said. I was so disappointed, however, when I saw that the color in the DVD was really dreadful. Colin Firth had snow white skin, and pitch black hair and eyes, and poor Jennifer Ehle looked like a witch. I had just about worn out my video when I bought the DVD - I guess I'll have to buy the video again. Customer Rating: Summary: Love it! Comment: I rented it before I purchased. Needed it for my collection. This is the 1996 Edition from A&E with Colin Firth. Must have. I am not sure of the video quality because I loaned to a friend. I purchased because I wanted the edition. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautifully made and acted but very LONG Comment: The acting is superb but the plot develops very SLOWLY. The whole thing is about 5 hours. If you like Colin Firth, this movie is for you. If you prefer a faster pace, try the Keira Knightley version. More Reviews
