I have watched Pride and Prejudice and I have to say, this movie does to the dull and tedious Victorian era literature what chocolate does to icecream. It makes it better, so so much better.
... View MoreI love this movie! Absolutely one of my favorites ... Though completely different from my other favorites (A Quiet Man, Brigadoon, and Sound of Music). I suppose because this movie is so much fun! It is a wonderful combination of classic (Pride and Prejudice), comedy (Matt Smith), and absolute insanity (zombies)! The actors and actresses play it out so seriously ... Not a smirk among them ... While the viewer is falling out laughing at how straight faced they speak their lines! My favorite scene is when Elizabeth Bennett catches Mr. Darcy's flies ... And then returns them to him ... I love it! I highly recommend this movie!
... View MoreI'm not a big fan of zombie movies, to be honest, but it's OK to see one once in a while. I'm against the idea of messing with classic novels this way. It's OK to make parodies sometimes, but this is neither parody nor a zombie movie. I enjoyed the romantic part of this story but sneered at the zombie part. Not quite sure what the intention of the people behind this movie was or what they were trying to say. If a movie doesn't deliver a message, it has to be entertaining. Other than that it's questionable. This movie is not OK with the zombie part. If we take out the zombie scenes, the movie wouldn't be ruined. Anyway, you will be entertained by the smooth dialogue between the actors and the romance in the story.
... View MoreI love Pride and Prejudice. And I love Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (the book). I love so many adaptations of Jane Austen's work, but this one was terrible! The hilarious thing about the zombie adaptation was that it stuck pretty well to the original story. This was just a random, terrible zombie movie, with some well-known characters shoehorned into roles that were not at all consistent with how Jane Austen wrote them. If they were going to rip the entire story apart, they may have well just made a generic zombie movie. The book included fights with ninjas, Wickham getting maimed, and absolutely none of that made it into the movie. Instead, they invented some random plot that was not thought out well, and just muddled the entire story. Had the writer been stricken by the zombie plague when they wrote this?
