Rupert was so much hotter in Persuasion.

they make John nice...but in truth john didnt seek her love, he sought only a companion to help him on his travels to serve God...a wife yes, but not for love or SO i read...
Jane wanted love, but not from him even if he could give it her...her Edward is all she wanted...thanks for posting!

HE IS A BEAUTY, BUT he seems far too kind and warm to me in this.... He was supposed to be cold.

St. John is the only good thing about this version....why Jane wants the abusive jerk who never stops yelling (BLLAAAAST YOOUU!!!) is beyond me. ^^

I think Ciaran Hinds playd Mr.Rochester just fabulous and Elizabeth Morton also.The scene where he asks her to marry him is so profound,I really lived that moment....So in my opinion this is the best version.I actually just saw the 2011 version and I was very disappointed...

He is the St John I imagined. Not the one in the 2006 or the 2011 version. He is the perfect handsom missionary Bronte describes in her book. In the other versions Mr Rochester is much more handsome than St John...
But I love Mr Rochester in the 2006 version. Toby Stephens is the PERFECT EDWARD

Omg, Rupert Penry-Jones looks TERRIBLE
-
He's nice, but I think the perfect portrayal of St. John is 006 version. That was St. John.

ehm...
1)When asked her name she was supposed to say "Jane Elliot" and NOT "Jane Eyre"
2)Also St.John and Diana had another sister...
WTF??? This is the worst version!

sorry for multiple posts, youtube wasn't letting me see them
If St. John would be presented in a movie the same way he was in a book - it would take time to reveal his character. From what I see the director had a goal to fit entire story to one- part movie. However he compensated it by hiring very good actors.

The 83 TV version with Timothy Dalton had a fairly accurate portrayal of St.John, but I see your point.
The characters in Jane Eyre are so complex with multiple layers that it's impossible to show the underlying aspects of them in a 2 hour movie
