FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
vanyadolly Whatever story the filmmakers were trying to tell here, it had nothing at all to do with Wuthering Heights. I can't even review it as an adaptation because this film is as far removed from Emily Brontë's book as the moon is from a wheel of cheese. Sadly, it also made for a numbingly boring film experience in its own right. It was, for me, a colossal waste of time. Squandering the two hour runtime on pointless navel-gazing was perhaps the biggest crime when other adaptions have made do with less to wrap up the story of both generations. I wouldn't say Heathcliff being black was true to the book, but in my mind it's neither more nor less wrong than Ralph Fiennes or Tom Hardy, who are about as far from 'dark' as anyone can get. It would have been a nice change if they hadn't insisted on changing the entire focus of the story because of it. Viewers who enjoy pretentious art films with shaky camera work, lack of dialogue and gratuitous zoom-ins on random objects may get a kick out of this one, but anyone who came for Wuthering Heights better steer clear.
sapphire I couldn't see or here anything in this film. The lighting was so bad it was like the studio must of spent the budget on other prodjects, the horid camera work when Heatcliff covers his eyes, the wind that blocked out all sound probably because the sound crew realised the unintellgible filth coming out of the actors mouth was not worth hearing and the child nudity the actor of young Heathcliff was barley 14 at filming I hope this edition fades from public memory as the infinitely better 1978 version did, I gave up ten minutes before the end after exepting this was not Emily Brontë's masterpiece that I know and love.
jelencesb So I already warned you about my review could bee containing spoiler of some type. Therefore be aware!I know every artist should enjoy the artistic freedom, but am sorry I couldn't enjoy this movie ... First of all the movie is too long. Those two hours of nothing happening made me sleepy. It is more of a documentary type of a film than some real film genre. The characters are nothing like the original Wuthering heights characters and it is such a shame that Hitcliff was turned into love sick boy turned into a necrophiliac. The story is just some dark version of Romeo and Juliet. I haven't seen a picture that could resemble Wuthering Heights.Honestly speaking I am not able to recommend this movie to anyone. Maybe I may be accused of not understanding artistic freedom and such, but the movie did not fulfill my expectations.
Job Habraken i haven't read the book yet. this means I wasn't able to follow the storyline at all. also I couldn't empathize with all the characters. The filming was way too rough, torturing animals? really? Also 70% of the movie was almost completely dark and they should have added more lines. it would have made it more easy to follow and to watch. the only things i liked were the beautiful landscape, the accents and the end of the movie that took way to long in my opinion.i have to read the book for a school-project and i hoped watching the movie would make things clearer for me, but i am afraid it didn't.let's go and read it again!
