A Sublime Version of Jane Eyre
I have read the novel "Jane Eyre" many times over the years and have seen many movie versions of the novel. This current version is by far the best in capturing the spirit of the novel and heroine. Mia Wasikowska is sublime as Jane Eyre, a passionate, principled woman taught to repress the former and restrict the latter to the narrow degree of her station. Miss Wasikowska is also neither too old for the part (18, in the novel) nor too pretty; and plays Jane expressively through her eyes and tone of voice--maintaining all the outward forms of respect necessitated by her character's dependent situation while subtly declaring her independence from it. Michael Fassbender brings the right combination of cynicism and haughtiness to Rochester's character; while Judy Dench capably expands upon Mrs Fairfax's. The production values of this movie, attention to period detail of wardrobe and mores, are very high. The music score by Dino Marianelli is marvellous. I purchased the CD and listen to it frequently. Though no two hour movie can capture the entire novel, and story compression will always result in some distortion, the movie follows the novel very closely: excepting, of course, the not so minor fact that the movie begins with Jane's flight from Thornfield and most of the rest of the story is treated as flashback. Still, I feel the technique worked cinematically in that the viewer was drawn into the story immediately.I highly recommend Cary Fukunaga's "Jane Eyre".

lame and weak
This is the worst adaptation of Jane Eyre that I have ever seen so far! There wasn't any chemistry between Rochester and Jane. She was a cold fish compared to what one imagines her character to be when reading the book. The only redeeming aspect was the scenery in this movie. Otherwise I would say it was a total flop!

A Must See!
I savored every word of the book Jane Eyre, it is my favorite by far. I have seen all the Jane Eyre movies and none come close to bringing the book to life as this one does. If you are a true fan of the book this movie will satisfy you like no other and if you have not read the book, well, you will still love this classic dark romance (who doesn't?). Mia played Jane so perfectly I wouldnt change a thing and Mr. Rochester...wow! Great job by bolth actors they stayed so true to the original novel.

A Waste Of Money
This review is from: Jane Eyre [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) I have read the novel many times and have watched every film version of Jane Eyre. This is the worst of the lot. This is one of the greatest love stories written. And yet this film version shows no emotion. I felt no passion between Jane and Rochester. These actors said their lines with no feeling. And to make matters worse someone changed the ending of the story. Do Not waste any money on this film.

Overall Bland
I am a huge fan of the Ruth Wilson/Toby Stephens version. I had highhopes for this one, but it just never really took off. The whole moviefelt underwhelming. Mia's role as Jane was underperformed. There washardly any passion or conviction in her confession of love toRochester. I just didn't believe the two really cared about each other.It felt forced and almost like the acting was toned down on purpose.The only scene you could feel a glimmer of romance was after the firein Rochester's bedroom, where he takes her hand. It was alright, but Iexpect better than an overly done try at purely poetic. It just feltforced and not well done.

Why remake if not to make it better?
I agree with many of the other reviews. Don't fix what's not broken.The 2006 Jane Eyre was the best and most moving adaptation of the book.The two main characters had great chemistry and you could see themfalling in love. In this version, I was actually bored during the movieeven though I adore this book and its love story. I was sodisappointed. I never sensed that they were falling in love and whenthe 'big' scene came I felt nothing. I wonder if they even looked atthe other versions to see what they were up against. If you're going todo a remake at least be daring enough to do something different. Fromthe trailer, I thought it would be much darker, much scarier, muchmore... something! Instead, it was much less... something. As they say,'there's nothing like a good romance movie and this was nothing likea...' you know the rest.

Wonderful!
I've been a huge Jane Eyre fan since I first read it as a little girl quite a few years ago. I've seen countless adaptations of the years. some of them I absolutely loved and quite a few of them I hated, but this particular adaptation is by far the best. The visuals are incredible, the score is eerie, and the acting is superb. For the first time in any adaptation, this film truly encompasses the magnanimity of a very young girl's introduction to attraction and sexuality that is so subtly prevalent in the novel. It is, in every sense, a film adaptation of a haunting English romance that is absolutely perfect.

Great Adaptation!
This review is from: Jane Eyre (DVD) I was really pleased with this version of Jane Eyre. I am very particular about books made into movies. I'm not a fan of directors putting their own spin on things. However, this version was very well done.Everything in the film from the acting to the settings to costumes down to the last detail, gave the very image that Bronte evokes in her book. While not every scene is true to Bronte's work, the film is seamless and believable. The cast was very well picked. The music was perfect. I enjoyed watching it very much and am looking forward to watching it again. I would definitely recommend it.

Love love love it
This review is from: Jane Eyre (DVD) Best movie I've seen in a LONG time. By far the best adaptation of the book. It made me want to go read the book again! Absolutely beautiful. It left me in tears. Perfect!

Not the Best Version
I was really looking forward to this as people had been raving about it. With such a deep and well done book as the template, how could it go wrong? Well, I wouldn't say that it "went wrong", but it's definitely not the best version out there. I think this one failed to show a budding romance, which is the key to the story. Nothing else works if there is no angst and love. They SAY they love each other, but the actors never show this. It's a good modern interpretation for someone who doesn't like long movies (the best one is much longer and more detailed), subtlety, or traditionally English movies. That, however, was NOT what I was looking for in Jane Eyre.

Hauntingly beautiful film.
Slight spoilers... Nothing major... As with many films nowadays I simply rented this because I have little time to see everything I want to in the theatre. I was floored by what I saw. I knew nothing of this story and, thankfully too, as this film has some dark secrets. As I was watching I was even wondering if this was about to become a vampire film. This gothic style film comes about as close as possible to being a horror film without actually being one. It was gorgeously photographed, well acted, and had a beautiful score that I grabbed the very same night I rented the film. The main character Jane Eyre is a fully realized and entirely complete character. Her past history is shown along the way, as most of the film is a flashback. Despite her harsh upbringing she manages to retain her integrity along the way. So often I expected her to snap and take revenge on some witch of a character along the way but instead she retains her composure and remains true to herself and beliefs. She does snap once as a kid. This film has a religious undercurrent and subtleties regarding love that may not be for everyone. This is a love story but it is also a film about our stations in life and how just being true to oneself is all we need ever be. I watched it twice in one night and think this is one of the best films I have seen all year. It is one of the best period films i have seen in a very long time and right up there with Barry Lyndon and some Merchant Ivory films. Also, for anyone who loves films with strong, well realized female main characters this is the film for you.

Riveting!
Jane Eyre is among my top favorite novels. To catch the yearning gloom in the story on film is a feat. This production does that. Capturing the intensity yet restraint without overacting or over-sentimentalization is a challenge. This film pulls it off. The dialogue transfixes you and the music haunts you. Rochester is how I imagined him and Jane is plainly beautiful. Of course, Judi Dench always belonged in this film as the housekeeper. The landscapes take your breath away at times....you feel as if you are there. If you love historical interiors, you want to freeze scenes and just study the rooms. This is a film worth watching over and over.

Handsome adaptation
This is a really first class film: nicely adapted and acted, and withsuperb costuming, design and location all well shot. I'm only vaguelyfamiliar with the book and other screen adaptations, although I foundMia Wasikowska (and her younger self, Amelia Clarkson) well-matched tothe character that director Cary Fukunaga has in mind, where self-pityis snuffed out by determination and a sort of nervy fearlessness.Michael Fassbender is very good. I felt that his Rochester might almosthave been a shade soft, but then one realises that this isn'tHeathcliff - Rochester's secrets are buried in the house, not his head.Judi Dench was an extra surprise - she's great, predictably. I questionthe casting of the beautiful Jamie Bell though...Above all I couldn't get over just how wonderful Adriano Goldman'scinematography is. The tenements both grand and lowly are set in hugelandscapes that render them isolated. This then become an importantpart of the tone, that an orphaned school teacher and a wealthy lordcan exist in the same isolation. The quality of the picture is alsoravishing, whether they be shots of muggy windswept moors or thebright, dappled sunlight in trees that coincide with the loveliermoments of the story. A familiar tale then, but when told succinctlyand competently, it needs be no more. 8/10

Alex Popp's Eye On Entertainment: Jane Eyre
Well, I had fair warning.My mom and dad saw this movie in theaters. My mom liked it and my dadfound it extremely boring. I probably wasn't as bored as my he was, buthe and I had about the same opinion.This is definitely a chick flick. While I'm a 17-year-old guy whodoesn't generally mind chick flicks, there is nothing really in themovie at all. The storyline is dull and drab, though it may have beenconsidered good back in the days the story was written. People andcritics were enthusiastic about it mainly for how well it determinedthe original story. Females will enjoy it because this is the kind ofmovie that will appeal to them. And it has.The plot has to do with a "dark" secret a man hopes to keep hidden froma woman. When we find out what it is, you just go "Big whoop." I do praise the movie, however, for Michael Fassbender's performance.Excellent work on his part, in fact Mia Wasikowska is pretty good to asthe lead role.Though this film isn't rubbish, it's still a thumb down.5/10 for the well-acted, but flat and uninteresting "Jane Eyre."

All's well, but doesn't end well
"You would rather drive me to madness than break some mere human law."Thank goodness for high school literature. That which was tedious and compulsory back then certainly came in handy today while watching this version of Charlotte Bronte's classic dark love story.Although the screenplay required some basic knowledge of the original to sort through the flashbacks and shortcuts, and to fill in the blanks for the many omissions therein, the settings, costumes and Gothic creepiness were right on target. Well cast and acted, Mia Wasikowska and Dame Judi Dench were up to the task, while Michael Fassbender seemed to be a tad cranky and rude at the times when he ought to have been going for "cold and unapproachable." Never-the-less, he plays a reasonable facsimile of his character, despite looking more like Captain Von Trapp from "The Sound of Music" than Edward Fairfax Rochester.The only disappointment for me was the amended, truncated and abrupt ending, which totally ruined one of the best parts of the book, and where I actually could have quoted some of the dialogue, except it wasn't there.Recommended for fans of the classic looking for a good cinematic experience, but not for students looking for a visual CliffsNotes to help pass an exam.Amanda Richards, July 10, 2011

Good, But Not My Favorite
I love the story of Jane Eyre. An orphan who grows up to be a woman of means. I enjoyed this adaptation in parts, but through most of it I couldn't help comparing Michael Fassbender to Toby Stephens and Mia Wasikowska to Ruth Wilson. I mean as an overall movie it was quite good, but as a fellow adaptation of the wonderful Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte it pales in comparison. The 2006 version had 4 hours to tell the story of Jane Eyre. If any viewer never watched another adaptation or read the book they would be completely lost....!

delicious...
This is a fantastic rendering of the classic novel! Very steamy but in a chaste and classy way. I love this Jane and Mr. Rochester. Great casting!

A dark and glossy snorefest
I rented this because of all the rave reviews. They were highlyexaggerated. Is the film beautiful? I suppose so, what you can see inthe gloomy sets, whole rooms lit only by a small fire. Is Janeenchanting? Mia W, is so sedate, sitting ramrod straight and neverraising her voice even a half tone, that I found it difficult tobelieve Mr. Rochester had been o'erthrown with love.And what about Mr. R? He was textbook handsome, not craggy andtortured. He so obviously had a Good Heart beneath the sulks andtantrums, that he was nothing (and Jane agreed) to be the least afraidof.How about Judy Densch as the housekeeper? Agreeable but a waste oftalent. The young Adele? Adnoidal but adequate.What had me giving up fairly early in the film was the glacial pacing.It's a slow moving story in essence but to drag it out with woodenperformances in the dark was just too much for me. I love the book andother adaptations. Even if this were the first film version I ever saw,I think I would have thrown in the towel out of boredom.

beautiful - a true and interesting account
Jane Eyre is at the heart of the novel, it bears her name and it's read through her eyes. Although I was a fan of the fresh way this was filmed, the interesting filmography and such, I was not a fan of Rochester. For as much time as they spent developing so many other things in the film, they did not develop him. He was cold and empty and two dimensional. Unfortunate because I was looking forward to seeing such a creative and youthful approach to one my favorite books. The film focuses on Jane Eyre, she is very thoroughly developed and I could sympathize with Mia and her portrayal of Jane. But Rochester - if you don't know the story at all - would be nothing but a distant, strange man. It fits too closely into the overused realm of chick flicks - where the male part is developed only in relation to his love for the heroine. The real Rochester is so freaking complex and dark and sadistic. A man desperately yearning for salvation and mourning each day that lags on in his empty life without it. I have a hard time believing anybody who knows nothing of the Jane plot would understand and love this Rochester. If they do, it would be a shallow sympathy because the only thing we know about him at all is how desperately he's in love with Jane. And no real person's life and desires can be summed up in their affection for another.

My Favourite Adaptation of Jane Eyre
I was encouraged to watch the movie based on the extra clips on Focus's YouTube page; the depth of the language in the conversations between Jane & Mr. Rochester gave me hope that it will not betray Charlotte Bronte's book. It is a true adaptation of the book by all means and I actually thought the 2 hours length did not do it justice. I am praying the DVD version will have a director's cut version in it that includes all the scenes taken out to fit into the timescale for public viewing. Michael is indeed the best Mr. Rochester ever, Timothy Dalton comes next.
