It's never going to help when you cast Nick Cage and Penelope Cruz as the leads, neither of whom could act if their lives depended on it. And then you have all the characters (Greek, Italian and German) speak English in an identical cod "foreign" accent regardless of supposed nationality.
It's quite pathetic really. Anyone who hasn't seen it should seek out the British wartime comedy "'Allo 'Allo", which has a splendid long-running joke about characters speaking French or German whilst actually speaking English (or, indeed, switching from French to English whilst speaking English the whole time). I can't explain, you need to see it, but it skewers the notion that characters supposedly speaking their native language need to affect a stupid accent whilst actually speaking English.
Louis de Bernière's delightful novel ain't exactly "War and Peace" but still this movie trivialises and cheapens the material. The book is often comic but ultimately melancholic. Unfortunately this production swerves both in favour of pure Hollywood schmaltz.

As a huge fan of Hardy's bleak oeuvre I have to say that I found this adaptation slightly disappointing.
Granted it hits all of Hardy's social, religious and philosophical buttons but the protracted, grinding tragedy of Jude's life is mostly not apparent. His rejection by a Christminster (Oxford) college is over and done with in a couple of minutes despite this being one of the most formative factors in Jude's descent into misery.
This rejection soon forgotten, Jude and Sue seem to generally have quite a nice time, at least until the last 15 minutes. Kate Winslet is incongruously delightful in a succession of extraordinarily pretty, colourful frocks, which sets quite the wrong tone for this bleakest of Hardy's tales.
I am also a huge fan of Hardy's Wessex so it came as a huge disappointment that not one of the rural scenes appears to have actually been shot in Wessex. Most of it looks like it was shot in the mountain/hill country of northern England which is very different to the rolling countryside of Wessex. The Wessex landscape is so integral to Hardy's work that it is a character in its own right, so this really is a disappointing oversight.
Upon first reading the novel one reaches the end feeling like one has just received an emotional baseball bat to the solar plexus. Sadly this adaptation comes with nothing like the same heft.
