  A bit late to this party, I've not long watched the film. But I just wanted to say that the criticisim of Jane not being "erotic" enough or appealing is completely wrong. If you'd read the book you would know that Jane was never any of those, she was always repressed, internal, always the 'plain Jane.' Watch some of the other adaptations of the story and you'd see the same pattern in the performances of the central character. The problem I had with the film was it felt like peices were missing, and I wasn't wholly convinced with the chemistry of Jane and Edward. The best chemistry I've seen was between Samantha Morton and Ciaran Hinds.

  'The Train That Tried'...always my favorite children's book. Right up there with 'The Sacrificing Shrub'

  However, I do agree with Korey, the resolution is a little too clean, a little too dialogue-y: could've used a few more minutes of the Jamaican wife or a short, short flashback.

  Cyrus, what the fuck man. You always get it right but not here...Jane Eyre is supposed to be 100% plain, her attractiveness is her personality, her demeanor, her actions. It's not supposed to be sexy or erotic whatsoever...That's why Rochester is drawn to her - he doesn't need some exotic, erotic beauty, that's the whole point of the book! The first time he went for an exotic beauty he got fucked over!

  Jane is not supposed to be erotic - that is not Rochester's obsession with her. Read the book. It's difficult to assume things about the characters just based off of what this movie presents. It's really about her innocence and her youth... At least that's what I remember. Haven't read this for a while myself. She's not supposed to be big-busted and voluptuousness. And Rochester is not supposed to be hot, as he is presented. They belong together because what they are for each other wouldn't really be suited for everyone.

  UUUUUGHHHHHHHH! I'm sorry maybe it was the film was presented itself, because those two were meant for each other, other adaptations probably show this much better especially the 2005 made for TV version.

  No, Cyrus, no, No, Mia is perfect for the role because that's how it is in the book, I've read it a couple of years ago and the way she acts in the movie is totally in line. Every actress who play that role in different versions play it that way. And its the VICTORIAN AGE, FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!! Geez, for someone who thinks who's smart, you sure don't act like it at times.

  OMG thanks SO much for reviewing this! This is one of my fav books and I'm so glad u guys gave it full price. Too bad the only place showing it around here is South Beach. I was gonna rent it but after this its definitely worth a trip

  How is this the adult Twilight? Jane Eyre is one of the prototypes for the feminist movement. Twilight is the biggest anti-feminist piece of shit

  I love how the crux of Cyrus' argument about the 'one flaw of the movie' was that Jane Eyre wasn't hot. Bitch, this isn't Sucker Punch. Go read Maxim for that shit, this is a period piece and for the record, Jane is SUPPOSED to be young, innocent and reserved (and also much younger than Rochester). Like seriously, if you want to get your dick hard there are plenty of other movies that'll do that for you. It's not required in EVERY film with a woman in it, sorry to disappoint.

  I dunno, I kinda liked Mia in Alice & Wonderland, and am looking forward to her career progressing. She is quite young and needs more experience which isn't good for a movie like this which pretty much depends on the acting since it has so much drama. Good review guys.

  Id like to see this

  plus I have a chance to see Michael Fassbender before X-Men: First Class

  and Cyrus, did you not count the number of times Mia lost her clothes in Alice in Wonderland?

  I have never even heard of this book before and I didn't even read it in high school. But this doesn't look like my kinda movie so I don't think I'm gonna bother watching it.

  The music @ :24 sec was used in "Suspria" too right? Does anyone know?

  Dunno Cyrus, I thought Wuthering Heights was a much better book.  I felt like Jane Eyre was too much leap-and-linger at the expense of a story that had any proper payoff.  And I thought Emily's writing style was much more engaging.  As for this movie...if I want to see Jane Eyre I'll just watch it for free on PBS.

  I actually had no interest at all in this movie.  I am not a big fan of period pieces and I especially don't like depressing movies(and I thought this was one) but it seems there is a fair bit of romance as well and you guys convinced me.  I'll try to see this, this week.
