Orgullo + prejuicio + zombis

Si esto alienta al menos a una parte de los jóvenes a leer literatura clásica, no me ofende en absoluto esta idea de zombies. Verifiqué esto con mi mamá, quien leyó y vio la versión clásica innumerables veces, y cómo esta adaptación difiere de la original y los autores no se pasaron demasiado, aunque por supuesto tuvieron que adaptar la trama de alguna manera. Y luego, todo mi respeto, no es precisamente una combinación fácil: algunos combates entre Drácula, Frankenstein y zombis serían mucho más sencillos y coherentes. Lily James está para comérsela como siempre. (23.07.2023)

"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" has its interesting elements, it also has certain qualities, but in the end, it's just an action film with zombies that is not particularly scary, but - and that is the problem - not even that entertaining. The screenplay is ultimately shallow, even though the fusion of disparate genres works reasonably well. The characters are boring and uninteresting, and not even the captivating Lena Headey can save it. (10.03.2016)

I’ve heard so much negative criticism about this film that I was almost starting to believe it would be as bad as everyone had said. Having seen it, I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. What I liked most was how it managed to keep the original basic storyline in such a wacky plot. That must have been a superhuman feat. I was pleased with the cast. You don't get to see so many Lannisters these days even in Game of Thrones. Overall, I enjoyed this Victorian romantic zombie slasher film. (11.07.2016)

Such a great sacrilege and not only because of that, but also such great fun. The romantic storyline is so strong in nature that it manages to move you, and on the other hand, the action storyline is sufficiently absurd and visually attractive that, in combination with the bombastic soundtrack by Fernando Velázquez, it works almost just as well. Moreover, when the annoying Mr. Collins, who is always present in the original or previous adaptations, is added to the mix, and Matt Smith elevates him with his rubber face and playful grimaces to irresistibly selfish naiveté, I must almost applaud. It's not perfect fun, but unexpectedly unfailing romantic adventure, definitely a yes. (01.12.2016)

I was very pleased to see that the script is not an outright parody of Jane Austen, but actually considers how the plot of “Pride and Prejudice” might unfold during a zombie pandemic. So the story of the Bennet sisters, Mr. (Colonel!) Darcy and co. actually remained serious, "only" there is more blood, brains, dead and especially undead. Yes, it's mostly goofy fun, but not stupid.
