Pros: EXCELLENT CAST

Cons: COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE LONGER

I JUST LOVED THIS MOVIE. THE CASTING WAS EXCELLENT AND THE ACTORS WERE VERY PASSIONATE IN THEIR ROLES. THIS GAVE A LITTLE MORE EXCITEMENT TO THE STORY THAN THE 1995 VERSION. THE 1995 VERSION WAS A MINISERIES SO IT COULD DRAG OUT THE STORY IN MORE DET...AIL, BUT BEC THIS VERSION (2005) WAS ON THE SILVER SCREEN, THEY HAD TO SHORTEN IT, THEREFORE, CUTTING MINOR DETAILS OUT... OR PUTTING SCENES TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE INSTEAD OF 2 OR 3 PLACES TO SAVE TIME. THERE WAS NO WEDDING IN THIS FILM BEC JANE AUSTEN DID NOT WRITE OF THE WEDDING DETAILS AT ALL. THEY WENT FROM BEING ENGAGED TO LIVING AT PEMBERLY IN THE BOOK, UNLIKE THE 1995 VERSION. SO THIS 2005 ADAPTATION WAS CORRECT. I THINK THEY COULD HAVE MADE A LITTLE LONGER MOVIE ON THE SCREEN LIKE A GONE WITH THE WIND AND THAT WAY MORE OF THE BOOKS LITTLE DETAILS COULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED OR AT LEAST 30 MIN. MORE THAN IT IS NOW. I GUESS THEY WERE AFRAID THE GUYS WOULDNT GO SEE THE CHICK FLICK IT LOOKED TO BE TOO LONG..??? BUT LENGTH DIDNT HINDER THE AUDIENCE FOR GONE WITH THE WIND.... MAYBE THESE DAYS ARE DIFFERENT BUT TITANIC DID WELL AWHILE BACK AND IT WAS OVER 3 HOURS...I HOPE THEY WILL ADD ANY SCENES THEY DELETED TO THE DVD VERSION... FOR US ROMANTICS. ROMANTICISM STILL EXIST IN THIS WORLD, I AM HOPEFUL. ANYHOW, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH MATT AND YOUNG KEIRA, THEY PULLED IT OFF. ALL THE AMERICAN AND ENGLISH ACTORS DID EXCEPTIONALLY WELL!! BRAVO! IN MY EYES. Read more Less
