Jane Eyre (1996)
Read the book
I won't say that this is the worst book to movie adaptation, but it certainly wasn't the best. I know there are some of you out there who would rather watch a movie than read a book, but nine times out of ten the book is always better. With books you don't have a certain time limit to get in all the details the way movies do. I felt like the movie didn't have very good transitions, and the movie seemed to be moving too fast. It makes me so sad that the movie didn't focus more on the relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester. In the movie you don't really get to see how their relationship develops and grows into love. I thought that they left out a lot of essential events to the plot that would explain the plot better and make the movie a little more interesting. The characters in the book seemed a lot richer and were full of personality and life than the ones in the movie. I don't know if the actors and actresses actually read the book but if they had then maybe they would've portrayed things differently. I love watching movies, but I'm always weary of seeing the movie version because it's just not the same. Take my advice, read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
