SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

loginasintija I really thought that this version is gonna be better... But only the visual effects were better. Performance worse than in 2006th movie of BBC. Many details are gone. But the difference of age were noticeable, really, as it has to be.

blumdeluxe I am one of those viewers, for which "Jane Eyre" was the first time they got in contact with this story. That said, I cannot judge the film in comparison to other versions. Nonetheless a good movie should always provide enough background to be understandable for new viewers as well.From all that I can say, "Jane Eyre" is very thoroughly made and achieves greatness in terms of filmmaking. You instantly see that a lot of thoughts and heart was put into the film to create a somewhat authentic atmosphere and a setting that makes it easy to enter the historic world the plot is settled in. Those preparations are met with skillful and empathetic acting and thus it is right to say that "Jane Eyre" is a good movie.Unfortunately, the story itself is kind of average. Without doubting that from a personal point of view it includes big drama, it relays on a setting already dealt with in many movies and books. Although "Jane Eyre" is probably one of the earlier attempts to deal with this in art, there are tons of similar plots, including modern adaptions like "Pretty Woman", that more or less ground on the same presumption. Unluckily, Jane herself is a hero free from failures and thus an extraordinary boring figure. Her manner of being gentile and empathetic from beginning to the end are honorable but also highly unrealistic and make the movie a bit foreseeable.All in all, "Jane Eyre" depicts an average story with average characters in a high-quality way. I respect that. But still there are better or more relevant movies.

SnoopyStyle Jane Eyre (Mia Wasikowska) runs away from Thornfield Hall and finds shelter with St John Rivers (Jamie Bell), and his sisters Diana (Holliday Grainger) and Mary (Tamzin Merchant). As an orphan child, she was mistreated by her aunt Mrs Reed (Sally Hawkins) and her son. She was sent to Lowood School for Girls ruled by the cruel Mr Brocklehurst and branded as a liar by Mrs Reed. She leaves the school to be a governess for French orphan Adèle Varens at Thornfield. Mrs Fairfax (Judi Dench) is the housekeeper. Edward Fairfax Rochester (Michael Fassbender) is the often absent owner.Cary Fukunaga brings a haunting cinematic brutal beauty to this Charlotte Brontë classic. The script has been stripped down to the needed scope. Mia Wasikowska has her sense of fragile determination. The acting is impeccable. This is less a costume romance and more a Gothic theater. It is really a painting of mood and deep feeling.

Pragha Kanthakumar Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre provides a catharsis for love and romance in its pure and concentrated form. It is nearly impossible to portray it fully in a movie of 2 hours. Cary Fukunaga (The Director) has done a very good job considering these difficulties.The casting of Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre) and Michael Fassbender (Edward Rochester) are appropriate. Mia's subtle expressions of yearning, love and despair are beautiful. I cannot think of a better actress than Mia to play the role of Jane Eyre. Though Michael Fassbender does not fit Brontë's description of a manly and not-so- handsome figure, he does a perfect portrayal of Rochester's character otherwise. Jamie Bell's performance seems to be dwarfed by the acting of the two lead actors, which is otherwise a decent performance.The ending of the movie, in my opinion was a bit abrupt – considering the way it is narrated in the novel.Overall this movie is one of the best adaptations of classical literature I have seen.10 out of 10.
