True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

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.

After a woman with a tortured childhood but with exquisite education finds work as a governess for a young French girl, she meets the master of the mansion where she was supposed to live, a man with a troubled past of his own. Although from opposite social positions, a bond begins to form between the two but their respective pasts are about to play a decisive role in their near future.It's a dramatic story which shows two apparently different people whose destinies collide for the good or the worst. The story is fascinating, although slow paced, being presented in a series of intertwined sequences from the past, present of future, drawing you into its old world, with magnificent scenery, making you care about the characters.The actors' performance is also noticeable, excellent I must say, making their characters credible. The only drawbacks are represented by the slow course of actions and some questionable decisions made by the main characters, but they are not significant enough to spoil the overall impression left by this movie.

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.

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.
