Reviews (3) of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Not as enjoyable as the book - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies review by CP Customer
I thought this was a good film. Having read the book first, I was looking forward to the deadpan humour and I do agree with other reviews that this is lacking. I also agree that the battles with the zombies are not very exciting. Maybe it is because we know the characters need to survive for the story to unfold, but there is no sense of urgency or fear in any of them.
I found most of the actors did a great job with possibly Mr Darcy being the least convincing of the lot.
Despite some weaknesses I thought the film was very enjoyable, and I am looking forward to "Android Karenina" and "Sense, sensibility and sea monsters" if they ever get made into films.

Soon overstays its welcome - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies review by Alphaville
What sounds like a fun concept becomes bland in the realisation. This is a by-the-numbers retelling of P&P with a few zombies shoe-horned in to occasionally attack the principal characters. It needs to be anchored in Austen reality, but the cod-Austen dialogue never rings true. We never care about these cardboard characters so the zombie attacks soon bore.
Charles Dance strikes the right note as the straight-faced Mr. Bennett, while Matt Smith makes a fair stab at a humorous Mr Collins, but Lily James as Lizzy and especially Sam Riley as Darcy never convince. One of those films that seems to have been more fun to make than to watch.

A strange mix - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies review by PT
This film attempts to meld zombie tonge in cheek with true jane austen.
Not a good mix.
It needs humour to meld the two and humour is lacking.
Unfortunately, for the most part, so is strong acting ... it's all a bit insipid.
However, Matt Smith plays a marvelous Mr Colins ... he is absolutely excellent, a joy!
Enjoy the trailer and skip the film.
