I'll never understand why filmmakers don't make use of actual dialogue in the book. Where it strays, it strays badly, almost completely reinterpreting the characters. There's also an added melancholic tone to the movie that lacks the excitement of the connection I of these two characters. The casting is decent but Rochester is too dour and lacking the wicked humour and deep passion and charm of the character. On the book he's described as being the life of the party and making every room happier. You don't see that here. I won't go through all the characters but it all felt lacklustre. I also think a feature length movie will never be long enough to do justice to the story.
