Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good movie but grossly overrated

A Disappointing Continuation

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I admit this story will make the heart of anyone who watches melt. The way Jane Eyre tells the story of a woman who lived in misery all her life and how Rochester is portrayed as a cold but intimidating man, looking rude but caring. If you are looking for sadness in this movie, YOU WILL NOT GET IT. But when you are looking for a classic romance story wrapped with a real problem of a poor woman with a rich man then you are in the right place.The very right story is spent in my spare time or holiday, I really do not regret my day by watching this. Their way of their gazing and the way they express feelings will take you through time, how Jane who craves happiness, turns up in an unexpected time. Always full of what Rochester is thinking.Unfortunately, I did not get too much emotion of grief from Mia Wasikowka, her way of portraying the sadness of lessening my feelings when I saw her

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.

A good adaptation but not the best. I don't know why the BBC funded this when they had their 2006 mini-series version (Ruth Wilson as Jane). I suppose they have so much of our TV licence money (yes it is 2016 and we in the UK are still having to fund the BBC with a compulsory fee of £160), they throw it at any project. Anyway, to the film. It's good with good performances from the leads and Jamie Bell. Unfortunately Dame Judy couldn't make out which accent to use; Yorkshire, upper class English and back again.Not sure why the makers felt the need to chop the story around. We start with Jane leaving Thornfield and arriving at the Rivers' house. It then flashes back to her time at Aunt Reed's house (where the book starts), then to her time at Lowood School and then to Thornfield. Easy enough to follow but unnecessary. It also ends very abruptly. There is much more to tell/show at the end.It was watchable but did we need another version?

Disappointing. I haven't read the book, so had no prior knowledge of the plot, and can't comment on how faithful the movie is to the book. However, for all its potential, the movie ends up feeling quite listless, especially in the latter half. It started well - Jane's background and upbringing was heart- wrenching, giving the movie an edge and the feeling that this was to be a rising-above-one's-background sort of story. However, from a point it stops being a human drama, and is just a romantic drama, dully told. It drifts and when the end comes, it is a relief.Cinematography and costumes are great.Performances are OK. Mia Wasikowska's performance is solid, though her accent seems to vary from scene to scene. Michael Fassbender is intense, maybe too much so. Found him a bit irritating.Surely there are better adaptations out there.
