It is 20 times better. Although Edmund's character in the recent adaptation is just as good. Billie Pipers jaw is distracting.

Man, this looks 20 times better than the Billie Piper version, sure it was enjoyable, but a bit bland. This looks great, I want to see it!

very true, the 2007 remake was painful to watch, billie piper didnt do the character any justice in her dreadful portrayal of fanny.the 1999 movie was a pleasant suprise and with great performances by all the actors.

This adaptation was SO MUCH BETTER than the recent one with Billie Piper. Actually, there's no comparison! It's almost never mentioned anywhere and it's one of my all time favorite Austen adaptations. Just Beautiful!!!

Thanks for that. I've actually watched it since. Really enjoyed it. Thought it was a million times better than the Billie Piper version. Billie was far too wild and tomboyish to play a heroine. Really appreciated the way this one had all those witty one-liners: "selfishness should always be forgiven because there is no cure". Cinematography was fabulas and Fanny and Edmund had alot better chemistry. Haven't read the book. Would you recommend it? In your comment you don't sound too pleased with i

Both take artistic liberties, which is tricky because in the book Fanny, to be frank, is really boring: she's sickly, never rises to the occasion and doesn't really make any mistakes. Unlike Elizabeth or Emma, the heroine doesn't have a journey. Purists to the novel think the adaptations are wrong, but I think it makes her more engaging.And this version is FAR superior to the Billie Piper version, which is dreadful even if you haven't read the book.
