Jane Eyre (1997)
Easy Watching, they miss a load from the book though....

This 'Jane Eyre' on the whole is quite a good adaptation for those who do not fuss if a few chapters are missed out. Samantha Morton's sweet voice is perfect for innocent Jane, yet she is slightly to pretty for her in my opinion. Her acting is on the whole is great though the kiss scene with Rochester should be avoided when you have just eaten because some might find it a put off to see to people literally chomping on each other's faces.
Hinds gives quite a strong performance until the last hour or so, the only problem I have with him is that when he is unsure of how to deliver a line he just shouts it.
Overall I think it is relaxed viewing for those who have not read the novel and it is quite a charming version...
