Leofwine_draca PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is undoubtedly a bad idea for a movie, a blackly comic misfire that misses the mark time and time again. The story is to take the essence of the Jane Austen novel and add a zombie apocalypse to the mix. I thought this was a ludicrous idea when the book came out and now, having seen the film version, I can confirm that I was right.The film's idea is to basically play out the plot of the original story but add zombies into the background of every scene. The zombie effects typically incorporate cheap-looking CGI while the action sequences are mishandled by the American director, who has no feel for his material.The only decent thing about this film are the presence of a handful of supporting actors such as Charles Dance, Jack Huston, and Lena Headey who do their best to make the whole thing bearable, but their efforts are in vain. Whether it's the miscast lead - Lily James, one of those pretty faces with nothing behind it - or Sam Riley's weirdly gruff accent, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is an embarrassment all round.

dothancore I had very low expectations before I see this film, mainly because of the raving bad reviews, 5.7/10 puts this movie in between bad and horrible. When I was watching it, I kept expecting the movie turn bad or boring ... never did, I mean, it is not Oscar worthy, but fairly entertaining and at times convincing. The visuals are beautiful, action sequence decent, even dialogue was made in "Pride and Prejudice" fashion ... I really don't understand where such low rating comes from. This makes me wonder how many of the reviewers have actually seen the film. IMO truly one downside of this internet age is everyone just blindly follows everyone else. No one seems to have his own opinion, or it is subject to be influenced easily at any given time.

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?

nantiape1997 This movie is just a parody of someone who just watched the 2005 movie in a hurry and never bothered to read the book or something. The emotions were delivered "in a hurry" for the sake of action. Seriously, it made Pride & Prejudice look like some romantic old thing with no substance really and the action was so forced. Last but not least, the scene with Darcy's proposal to Elizabeth it's supposed to be heartbreaking in a way, not "vase-breaking".
