Fabulous adaptation

I've watched this movie at least a dozen times, and always enjoy it. This adaptation was extremely well done, and sticks pretty well to the book. I did not like the 1999 movie version of Mansfield Park at all, so I was pleasantly surprised by this adaptation. There is nothing shocking or un-Austen about it, as was the case in the 1999 movie. The current version has great acting, music, and beautiful costumes and sets, as well as a lot of heart. If you like the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice, you will enjoy Mansfield Park. They were both adapted by Andrew Davies.

Ho - Hum!

This was the most boring production of a Jane Austen novel that I have ever watched. There is no real action throughout. You never get a real sense of who the characters are and why they act as they do. Fanny Price barely says a word for the first half of the movie. The scenery is gorgeous but other than that, I can not say anything positive about this movie. If you want a good movie version of Mansfield Park, get the 1999 version. It is more in depth and true to the Austen novel and the acting is vastly superior.
