Jane Eyre

*Warning: may contain spoilers for those who haven't read the book*

Last night, I watched the new Jane Eyre, starring Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell, and Judi Dench and was directed by Cary Fukunaga. The many reviews have been very different,from loving it, to warning you not to watch it. I do admit that it was crammed somewhat( having to fit it into a 2 hour limit) but they followed the book(which is always an A+). There are also deleted scenes that are wonderful, and should have been included.The interesting thing about this version, it's not in chronological order, as it starts when Jane leaves Thornfield Hall(which is more than half way through the book). All of her childhood is in flashbacks, and I won't say anymore because it is rather hard to explain.

But Mia Wasikowska was the perfect Jane, and Michael Fassbender was a excellent Rochester, and St.John(acted by Jamie Bell) they finally got him right! And, of course, Judi Dench is as awesome as ever as Mrs. Fairfax. I loved the little girl who played Adele Varens(she was adorable),and I thought the Rivers sisters were rather hysterical. I also have decided to make a list of worst-to-best Jane Eyre's:
5.1996 version with William Hurt
4.1997 version with Ciaran Hinds
3.1983 version with Timothy Dalton
2.2006 version with Toby Stephens
1.2011 version with Michael Fassbender

But I know everyone's opinion's differ.

This version was hardly creepy, and I think it would be appropriate for ages 10 and up.

And if you haven't seen the trailer, here's the UK theatrical trailer. As it is MUCH better than the US one.
