You're quite right that the main problem is that it was a bad piece of film making. The cinematography consisted of endless helicopter shots alternating with steady-cam shots tracking at eye-level (a revelation when it was invented, I was Mesmerized by Kubrick's Shining when it premiered, but it's become so hackneyed since I can't even stand to watch that film anymore). Oddly, almost all the reviews posted on the web are by Janeites who rightly feel betrayed, but one constant theme in them is the concession that the cinematigrpahy was exellent. I suppose they were taking ocmfort in the familiar.
