Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

hyped garbage

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Fantastic!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

What's not to like? All the charm of Sense and Sensibility, plus zombies so the story never drags.

Movie Review: "Pride & Prejudice and Zombies" (2016)Carefully put into Sony Pictures' affiliated branch Screen Gems, a company constantly re-inventing itself since 1933 with mainly daring close to b-roll horror, science-fiction and daring comedy films since enterprising resurrection from December 8th 1998, rarely exceeding production bugdets of 35-Million-Dollar, nevertheless have fairly-expensive genre hits as the "Resident Evil" movie series starring Milla Jovovich under their rooster; here comes along this utterly re-interpretation of a Jane Austen classic love story book, firstly published in 1813, ingnited by film-maker Burr Steers, who had been nourishing industry connections since being part of "A Band Apart" production team days of Quentin Tarantino & Lawrence Bender realizing "Pulp Fiction" in season 1993/1994; a writer/director fulfills his dream of a genre-borderlining motion picture with a capable cast surrounding actors Sam Riley and Lily James as world-literature-inhabited famous soon-to-be fighting and coupling Mr. Darcy & Mrs. Bennett, while here so many obstacles are pushed to PG-13 timid endeavors of killing zombie creatures with no major red blood leaking wounds given, which might have saved the picture from a total brain-numbing experience of sweet-to-look at supplementary cast including short-passed actresses Bella Heathcote, Ellie Bamber, Millie Brady and Suki Waterhouse as samurai sword to short daggers swinging heroines to forget as soon as the curtain calls.FAZIT: Picture rejected (unprepared) © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Ok, sure its a zombie movie, but the adaptation is so well done in making an entertaining story and dialog that I can't help but think the person who wrote the script is quite intelligent. Anyhow, its fun take on Pride and Prejudice. Great story, great dialog, great acting.

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.
