All the wit, sparkle and wry humour of the book has been leached out of this film version. If you think Pride and Prejudice is just a romance then you may be satisfied, especially as it often looks very lovely. But for me it mostly missed the point by cutting almost everything which didn't concern the Darcy/Elizabeth dynamic. Even that seemed to lack any fire. Personally I found it rather dull and struggled to watch till the end.
