Okay, I saw half of the first part and turned it off. I know that screenplays have to be streamlined to fit into a watchable amount of time, but I felt like this one was just marching through the story with no reflection or real feeling at all. Frankly, I think it's my least favorite adaptation yet.

We like the Ciaran Hinds/Samantha Morton one better. None of the versions we've seen are all that we'd like, but Hinds makes a good Rochester and Morton is pretty good (although a bit tough). I think my mother's overall favorite is still the 1944 Joan Fontaine one, even though Fontaine is too pretty and the story line is very severely condensed to make it feature length.
