Review of Jane Eyre (2011) by Benjamin K — 12 Sep 2011
"Jane Eyre" is one of those films where you want to praise the film as a classic, but in fact it is not as good as you want it to be. Before I explain the reason why, the positives of this film is the cast.
Mia portrays Jane very well and is a great watch, also Michael as Mr. Rochester plays the mysterious character who has a hidden secret very well as well. The visuals of the film is brilliant, very bleak and beautiful.
Yet even though there was a story there it didn't feel like much of a story, even though it's not a weak story it just felt like there was not much to it. Also the romance of Jane and Mr. Rochester felt quite rushed despite the fact that both actors had a good chemistry.
At the end of the day it all depends on taste, I like stories like "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility" etc.. but Bronte's "Jane Eyre" didn't do it for me.
Not a bad film, but not my favourite film.
