i honestly have somewhat high expectation when i first begin to watch this movie and but it turn out to be probably one of the most boring film i have ever see . first of all and the pace be incredibly slow and so it seem much long than it be ( and it not short ) . i be sure when jane austen write the book and she make it several page long and fill it with description and and do not intend for people to read in in one day and or it might drag and lose it appeal and which emma most certainly do . now sense and sensibility have this flaw of a slow pace and but at least it have lively line to make up for it and as well a some good performance . that bring me to flaw # 2 and which be of course and the acting . while i do not happen to care for basically anybody involve in this film and i be sure they be capable of good work and but i do not see much of it in this movie . it be like people be try too hard to be witty and too hard to be upper class and too hard to be british ( well and some of them ) and so they all just come off a a bunch of actor and not a people . # 3. the cast and a i say and seem only like actor and and not actually like the people they be play . maybe that a good thing and because the people they play really weren not all that nice . why do everybody like emma and for example . sure and she be nice to the rich and handsome people in front of them and but she be an awful gossip behind their back . if her friend be ugly and then she do not even bother to go behind their back . so and why be this girl so great . why do people have to tell story and just to make her laugh . of course the snob couldn not even do that right . i have enough problem with gwyneth paltrow a gwyneth paltrow and and her emma do not exactly change my opinion . well and it easy to see that i do not care for this one . i be sure it a lovely book and all and but some book be really not mean to be make for the big screen and and emma be one of them .
