Oh yeah, ITA -- it was a gorgeous film, and pretty faithful I think (I haven't, uh, rewatched it a lot) but they really didn't seem to have a lot of chemistry. And since most adaptations seem to focus on the romantic pairing and nothing else (grr -- also happens with Wuthering Heights), that part has an extra burden to carry. Wasikowska's gorgeous, but I thought she was one of the few Janes to actually look plain, or convincingly act like she knew she was plain -- altho her costumes were still too nice, from what I remember.

I do remember Fassbender rushing dramatically to a window after Jane's flight and crying out dramatically over the moors, while his ass was showcased in a pair of riding breeches. (Why was he wearing riding breeches before dawn? Why not I guess?)
