Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

a_chinn I read this book and it was a pretty good one-joke concept, taking a prim and proper piece of English literature (that also happens to be in the public domain) and inserting zombies. In movie form it's also a pretty good one-joke idea, but outside of that one joke, it doesn't sustain itself, same as with the book. The actors and production values are all of Downtown Abbey quality, though I may have enjoyed the genre mash-up more if the zombie action had gone for a hard R-rating instead of a tepid PG-13. Seeing Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy drenched in blood, as if they'd stepped off of set of "Martyrs" or "The Descent," would have given the film a far more jarring of effect and possibly would have carried the concept for it's almost 2-hour running time, particularly if the violence and zombie action had gradually built to a wild "Dead Alive" type of over-the-top climax. The film either needed to hook audiences with the romantic tension of whether Ms. Bennett and Mr. Darcy will end up together or hook audiences with zombie action and suspense, but in only doing both partway, in the end, in film does neither and never hooks the audience.

Artur Machado Just another adaptation of Jane Austen's novel but this time with zombies on the mix. The plot does not vary much from the original novel but contains these changes: instead of the bubonic plague, we have the zombie plague; the aristocrats, in addition to having a literary education, are also sent to China or Japan to learn martial arts due to the zombie threat; and the Bennet sisters, besides being beautiful and educated, are also fierce warriors with more childish than aristocratic ways. There is a part where Liz Bennet, instead of pushing her suitor away with the cynicism and coolness worthy of her social class, does not: they go into physical confrontation as if she were a ho discussing with her pimp in one of Bronx ghettos, only with refined language.The plot where zombies can talk and organize in community is poorly explained and could have been better explored. They should have put more emphasis on the zombies, as they have very little screen time. There is a part where one of the sisters sees the supposed 4 horsemen of the apocalypse facing back, but it is only this scene for a second or two; where do they fit in the middle of it all? We do not know because they never show up again. What purpose then has this scene?This film is only "Pride and Prejudice" in a zombie universe and nothing more, just to captivate more female audience to the zombie lovers wagon. As a final note I admit that production, costumes, direction, cinematography and performances are of very good level and in the end fulfills its function: to entertain and pass some time and then move on to better things.

theblackdragon-25700 I love Pride and Prejudice. And I love Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (the book). I love so many adaptations of Jane Austen's work, but this one was terrible! The hilarious thing about the zombie adaptation was that it stuck pretty well to the original story. This was just a random, terrible zombie movie, with some well-known characters shoehorned into roles that were not at all consistent with how Jane Austen wrote them. If they were going to rip the entire story apart, they may have well just made a generic zombie movie. The book included fights with ninjas, Wickham getting maimed, and absolutely none of that made it into the movie. Instead, they invented some random plot that was not thought out well, and just muddled the entire story. Had the writer been stricken by the zombie plague when they wrote this?

Russell W Well I had planned to see this at the cinema....I'm glad I didn't.Some of the lines are just delivered rather lacklustre and it tends to drone on and in some scenes the players look very uncomfortable with each other.I do not know if he meant to play it this way but I felt the need to want to feed Matt Smith to the zombies and he greatly ruined any scene he was in.There were a couple of chuckles.I'd say watch on Netflix or DVD if you can but only free or rental.Action scenes are well done though and the visual effects and makeup are great.Sadly not enough to save it from slightly bombing.
