I'm sorry to say I agree...
Completely disappointed (even though I didn't have such high hopes)...
Interaction&communication like cavemen(&women), authenticity none, it was fake &flat&empty&annoying.
Nice images though! Beautiful shots, and costumes... (Some of her dresses even looked worn!)
As a movie however...
To me, it was even funny sometimes, but generally just eye-rolling.
But then I have unpopular tastes in JE adaptations.
I've read the book 5 times and seen numerous adaptations and I enjoyed this one the most. It's also the most true to the book. ******spoiler *****
This is the only adaptation I've seen that show her almost starve to death and where The Rivers are her cousins.

I'm puzzled. Are you sure you have the right adaptation? Jane Eyre 2011 deliberately chose NOT to portray the Rivers as Jane's cousins.
If there aren't any skeletons in a man's closet, there's probably a Bertha in his attic. share
My apologies. I still think it was a truer adaptation than any of the other movies. I thought it was excellent.
shareEven though Mia and Michael did a very nice job, this is not my favorite version of JANE EYRE either.
My favorite version was the Franco Zeffirelli version from 1996 with William Hurt, Charlotte Gainsbourg,& Anna Paquin, etc.
