I am looking for film reviews of the new Pride and Prejudice film from my trusted associates on the RS Bennion Blog. I am also interested in the new Harry Potter film. I will see it no matter what the reviews, but the P&P, I would like some input.

Well Anna better get on here because she has seen both (I already know that she liked both but her reviews are much better).
I have seen both and I liked both.
Harry Potter: The strongest movie yet. I thought they did a good job cutting down the story to fit into a 2 hour film. It's more intense than the other films and the kids are becoming better and better actors.
P&P: I really enjoyed it. Lizzy and Mr. Darcy are both played more emotionally vulnerable, which I thought worked. A couple of problems: sometimes the film misrepresents that time period; ie the characters will do things/wear things that would not have been done or acceptable in 18th century England--and those things are portrayed as normal. Not a huge deal depending on how much that matters to you in a Jane Austen film. Also, to go along with Peter's comment, especially at the beginning of the movie the dialogue feels a little shaky--it isn't well delivered--esp. compared to the A&E version. Those things said, it's a fun time--I'd like to see it again.
