Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
ritu_ruch I Love BBC Dramas and films,they are so brilliant with great sets,acting,costumes and background scores.I am a period films n Dramas fanatic,I have seen so many of them and all of them are a delight to watch and my favourites.Northanger Abbey is another feather in the cap for BBC as it is a great TV film though I wish it was a little longer because I loved the film and the chemistry between Felicity Jones and J.J field.BBC just are so good at adapting the novels that even if you haven't read the book it will still be a enjoyable watch.I haven't read any Jane Austen books but I have watched all the miniseries and films based on her novels,they are just so brilliant and enjoyable.Northanger Abbey is no different and the story was very good and the acting by the main lead and Mr Tillney sister was really good.The costumes were beautiful so was the jewellary and sets,dances.BBC just do a fantastic job in recreating the Victorian era ,love u BBC.
TheLittleSongbird I didn't think much of ITV's Persuasion or Mansfield Park, but I really liked their adaptation of Northanger Abbey, much more so than the 1980s adaptation. I did think though that the scene between Isabella and Frederick towards the end was rather jarring with the period, and the ending was rushed and abrupt.On the other hand, as you would expect with a period piece, it does look absolutely beautiful, I'd say especially in the scenery it was the best looking of the 2007 ITV adaptations of Jane Austen's wonderful books. The music has a pleasant lilt to it with a soothing quality to it. The story moves quickly with some decent dream sequences, if a little rushed at the end and maintains the book's spirit, and the dialogue is mostly in keeping with Jane Austen's style while also being fresh and funny.The superb cast are also to be commended. Felicity Jones plays her role of Catherine Morland with wide-eyed innocence, naivety and above all charm, and JJ Field is equally wonderful and just as charming as Henry, the fact he is very like how Austen describes Henry in the book is a good if not always important advantage. In support, Catherine Walker's dignified turn stands out, and Geraldine James as the voice of Jane Austen is suitably understated and Carey Mulligan is a surprisingly subtle Isabella.General Tilney mayn't quite have the depth of his novelistic counterpart, making him one-dimensional at times, but Liam Cunningham does do what he can to make the character interesting at least. Speaking of the characters, of the adaptations of Northanger Abbey, Persuasion and Mansfield Park, this was the only one where I actually did care for any of the characters, the characters in the other two were either underdeveloped or unconvincingly played.Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this Northanger Abbey. Considering the disappointments that were Persuasion and especially Mansfield Park I was not expecting to say or think that. 7.5/10 Bethany Cox
stormygail50 i truly loved this movie. i thought it was done and carried you along with Catherine as she fell in love with henry. i wish that it had gone into a little more detail at times, but i am sure that time restrictions played a big part in that. the actors did a good job in portraying their characters, although i found some of this disjointed as well at times, such as when henry, Eleanor and Catherine come back from their walk and the general comes down the stairs to invite her to northanger Abby, it is as if Eleanor and henry have disappeared instead of standing beside Catherine as they would have been normally, i must say i loved the way that Catherine backed henry into shrubbery as she was kissing him, although i wish they had gone into Eleanor's romance a little more. but overall i am glad i bought this movie as well.
helenaa-beee I loved this adaption of Northanger Abby. I keep pretty close to the book though it wasn't exactly the same but none of the movies are. I loved JJ Feild as Henry Tilney he was perfect for the role and Felicity Jones did an excellent job as Catherine. And loved Catherine's fantasy scenes they fit really well into the story. The only thing is that i felt it was rather rushed i mean add an another 30 min to an hour and it would of been even better. I loved the ending scene out of all the rest. It was more romantic then in the book(heres the scene) HenryTilney: Let me instead tell you what I said to him. I told him that I felt myself bound to you, by honor, by affection, and by a love so strong that nothing he could do could deter me from ... CatherineMorland: From what? Henry Tilney: Before I go on I should tell you there's a pretty good chance he'll disinherit me. I fear I may never be a rich man Catherine. Catherine Morland: Please, go on with what you were going to say! Henry Tilney: Will you marry me Catherine? Catherine Morland: Yes! Yes I will! Yes! (they kiss, and she backs him into a wall in her passion). Over all VERY GOOD Adaption.
