Jane Eyre (2011)

Last night I watched Jane Eyre, which if you don't know the plot you need to get the book from the library.

I went into this movie expecting it not to be too good.  The story is a little too complex to really fit into 2 hours of film.  But this movie did a good job of getting the main points.  Unfortunately, you never really get why Jane Mr. Rochester fall in love, the movie more tells than shows that they are in love.  Plus it makes the characters mostly one dimensional because you don't understand what there motivation is.  But for all that I actually liked this adaptation. It was realistic, especially in the age difference between Mr. Rochester and Jane, which has always been a little sketchy.

I would recommend this movie to people who already know the  story and want to watch a realistic adaptation.
