Those old P&P suck big time due to anachronism issues, wardrobe issues, casting issues and so forth. For a long time I only liked a 4 hour BBC version of it and that was my favorite. Now I like this 2005 version very much. At first I was put off a bit by Kiera Knightly, I am sorry to say. I just felt that her looks were not quite what Austen had in mind when she envisioned Elizabeth Bennett. Jane was fine and the other girls too and Mr. and Mrs. Bennett. I have no grievance with any of them but I felt that Kiera looked too modern (and sloppy). Now though I have seen the film a few times and it has grown on me admirably. I think they did a fabulous job with the costumes and it was really mostly true to the book. I can't imagine a much better version.
