*flail and huge grin*

It's not perfect, but I still can't wait. The first (of only two, I swear) time I watched I had a huge grin halfway through it. One rather dull line kind of ruined it, but the rest looks great.

Hmm hmm hmm. I can't help it. No matter how amazing it looks, I can't imagine it being as good as our beloved version. Her delivery of the poor, plain, obscure and little speech pales in comparison to Ruth W.'s. BUT I'll try not to form an opinion too early. That scene could have a completely different tone, I suppose...

I do like how young Jane looks and how not so handsome Rochester is, though I'm sure by the end I'll be swooning over him anyway.

I'm pleased it's from Focus Features. They have a very good track record.

Focus Features gave us P&P, so I can't help but like them. Their P&P is so much more emotional than the BBC version, so it's almost a different story. I wonder how much more dramatic you can make JE, though some people commented that it looks more gothic than other versions.

-Jane looks great
-Hooray for less attractive Rochester (but still pleasing to the eye)

Like I said before, as long as it doesn't suck, I think I'll be happy. P&P worked as a 2 hour film, so I hope JE does as well.
