I recently saw Pride and Prejudice (the 2005 keira knightly version) for i dunno...the millionth time maybe...
The book is my all time favorite and the movie is a darn good adaptation of it IMO. The era was recreated perfectly and all the scenery in the movie is gorgeous. Its just how i imagined when i read the book and it adds soo much to the whole romantic feel of the story.
Matthew is gr8 as darcy..sometimes i thought he was a bit stiff but other than that, he makes a good Mr darcy. The pride, the ego, the sensitivity everything was there. Same with keria knightly..she made an awsome Elizibeth and her chemistry with Matthew is just perfect. The guys who played supporting characters - The benett family, mr bingely, mr wickam, georgina, caroline, charolette are all wonderful and perfectly cast.
My fav scene in the movie is the one in the rain which is perhaps the most romantic scene ive seen in a looong time...it has no kissing, infact matthew dosent even touch her...but therz just so much sexual tension in this scene its amazing.

In short, one of the best book adaptations ever...and yes, its bone meltingly romantic.
LOVE it..
a perfect 5/5
