Title: overly dramatic, untrue to the book
Review: Not only does this movie not adhere to the book in the least, leaving out such details as Jane's cousins, it also makes her determination to leave Rochester after learning of his wife seem paltry. An over-use of mist (every three scenes or so) where the mist-machines are all too visible, and thunderstorms every other scene add to the lack of realism. Rochester's crazy wife is only seen once, for about 2 seconds, where she jumps out at Rochester and tries to (as it seems) bite his neck. The characters are one-dimensional. The fact that the entire movie is dark, gloomy and gothic makes is almost funny, especially once you've seen (for the third time) Rochester, wearing a long black cape, leave his dark gloomy castle with a scowl on his face, mount his black horse and ride off with a yell into the darkness with mist swirling in his wake.
