a5c7b9f00b The five highly trained Bennett sisters in Georgian England must try to protect themselves from the growing zombie threat, find suitable husbands for themselves, battle marriage proposals and unlikely suitors, and save the country before it&#39;s too late. Five sisters in 19th century England must cope with the pressures to marry while protecting themselves from a growing population of zombies. Pride and Prejudice…or and there&#39;s Zombies in itwell.<br/><br/>The story is about a zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land in Jane Austen&#39;s classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England.<br/><br/>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is justridiculousit sounds. Just the thought of taking a classic novel and adding whatever monsters you can put in. It&#39;s been done before in movies, TV shows and novels. Now we&#39;ve got this movie and you would expect a film like this to be a fun, gory and just a good time, but sadly that&#39;s not the case here, because Pride and Prejudice and Zombies isn&#39;t that good or fun.<br/><br/>The problem that I had with this movie is that I had no fun at all watching it and the film takes itself way too seriously. A couple of times it dose lose focus on what it&#39;s doing and at one point completely forgetting that it&#39;s a zombie movie. I know the &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot; thing is in the title so it would be like that, but zombies are in the titlewell.<br/><br/>The movie has a lot of interesting ideas (mostly with the zombies), unfortunately those ideas gets brush aside and what we get is less of a zombie movieit adverse. Yes the movie dose deliver on Pride and Prejudice, but not that much on zombies. Another thing that I was really disappointed with is the lackluster fight scenes, I mean it wasn&#39;t anything that special or exciting. Lena Headey and Charles Dance are in this movie and both of them don&#39;t do anything. It was a complete waste of their talents and time.<br/><br/>There are good things in this movie such as: the make-up was pretty solid, the performances for the most part were good and it was well shot at times.<br/><br/>Overall Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was a massive disappointment for me, because it had a chance of being great and enjoyable. As I said before, it had a lot of things going for it with the cast, the director and the fresh ideas for the zombies. This is another movie that couldn&#39;t live up to it&#39;s title. I have to admit that I&#39;m somewhat disappointed to see the average rating of this film not climbing above 6. I would&#39;ve expected it to be above 7.5 at least. Having said that judging by the box office receipts, many people disagree with me. So here&#39;s my take. I have read Pride and Prejudice and I&#39;ve seen most of the TV and film adaptations. And of course the 1995 BBC adaptation is by far the best in my opinion and there is no finer Mr Darcy than Colin Firth. I believe that Sam Riley comes a creditable second to Colin in exuding the prideful, arrogant nature of Jane Austen&#39;s hero who falls to the conqueror of all of us, love. Lily James is an excellent Elizabeth Bennett again only second, in my opinion to Jennifer Elhe. Lily like Jennifer brought the strong, independent and fiery nature of Jane&#39;s Elizabeth to life. So why the poor reviews and box office receipts? The answer I suspect is that people could not accept the classic horror crossover. But I insist that it works. Mr Darcy being a respected soldier works, Elizabeth being a martial artist that can kick ass works. And has England been subject to a plague in its history. So I highly rate this movie, I&#39;ve watched it about five times now and a fully believe that in a few years many will be looking back and saying hey this is a good movie. To put it in Austen terms: They will not have the pleasure of understanding what Steers is trying to do here.
