How can anyone even compare this to the BBC version? The characters were not developed, Darcy's heartfelt first proposal to Elizabeth sounded like he was rattling off his shopping list for the day, totally void of the inner conflict you feel in him in the BBC version. Please, don't be duped and sucked in to this two-hour mockery of this beautiful story. Order the BBC version and actually travel back in time and yes, it will take some time, but it is soooooo worth it. This is a must have for your DVD library. Colin Firth is the only Darcy I could ever imagine in this role. It's like someone else trying to play Rhet Butler, it just can't be done.
