the best version of the book I think...casting was more age appropriate than previous versions and Micheal Fassbender was brilliant as Rochester...i would have liked to have seeen a little bit more of Janes life at the school and her friendships within but the movie captured the essence of what Janes life quite well..
Funny and well shot but this movie is so truncated and Mia is not up to the acting job so it's a middle of the road rating for me. The book is much more powerful. Read it first before seeing it.
How can an idiot give this movie one star without even watching it. Biased moron!!!
this version is quite pleasing to the eyes, no new or amazing touches, but adequately done.
The only reason I am giving one star rating is because I have not actually seen the movie therefore I cannot really make a fair judgement as of yet. But I would like to make a response to one of the user reviews below that Jane Eyre was a "Hum drum" book. I hardly believe that Jane Eyre was a hum drum book. It is a true classic and it is a very complex and rich story and Bronte clearly put a lot of effort into it. And I think that the fact that somebody considered making a film on it (and for that matter that so many people have made tv adaptations in the UK) says a lot about its lasting impact and sensation on people till this very day. The film looks promising and I hope it will stay close
Hard to drum up a hum-drum book, but this movie did a decent job.
very believable performances. Riveting drama!
I really liked this version of Jane Eyre. Nice casting, well acted and the setting/scenery is breathtaking. It covered most of the important elements of the novel, no real complaints as to what was left out. Totally enjoyable. Much better than the William Hurt version.
