Wow what a mess! Incredibly awful loud 90s type bad unknown rock soundtrack playing through over the whole movie. Terrible script and bad acting from some well known and usually good actors. It wasn't their fault. Low budget, poorly written and directed headache inducing mess.
Even if you pretend it's not an adaption of Wuthering Heights, the diabolical noise throughout makes you scream for the mute button. I was wondering if it was originally a music video that they shot 90 minutes of footage for and they added talking to it and decided to throw a load of scenes together and call it a movie. That's what it felt like. I only finished watching it because it cost me 2.50 to rent.

What an empty and lack lustre rendition of the classic novel. I do wish people would stop messing about with classics when they clearly have no idea of the real intention or point of the original. This version is no different. I felt that the Ralph Fiennes version is much worse though as the casting of Juliette brioche as Kathy has got to be the worst casting decision EVER...anyway back to this version. It aims to make the story relevant to a contemporary setting and in a musical style. It succeeds in both but high art it is nit. Throwaway viewing for a rainy day maybe...The direction was average and the editing abysmal. Worse than the old Quincy. Deepak Verma does a great turn as Hindley and is in fact one of Britains wasted talents. The part of Heath was played with great charm and belief and I think that the casting is the strongest point of this project. Although a more talented director would have made better use of the facilities he had. Its clear that he was a director for hire and didn't instill the project with the passion that it deserved.
For anyone looking for the "I Will Crumble" song , it was originally done by Hewitt Huntwork and it's easily downloaded! I liked this song a lot, along w/ Erika Christensen's part on "More." But I must say that I wished they would have spent a little more time on character development...it seemed as if Mike Vogel's "Heath" was extra intense for no reason, whereas in the book you really got to see why Heathcliffe and Catherine felt like one person...when "Kate" was talking about that in the Linton bedroom, I didn't think it was very believable based on what had been shown...it definitely could've been better...but this "I Will Crumble" song is still in my head...it is such a pretty song and it wholly encompasses the relationship of Heathcliffe and Catherine...if only MTV could have portrayed that w/ Heath and Kate, who ended up just looking like unchaperoned, lust-filled teens
i was excited to see this movie because i had seen the commercials for it throughout the weeks but once i saw it, it was a disappointment. i never read the book but i'm sure that the book has to be better than this poor adaptation. is it so wrong that i cheered at what happened to cate at the end of the movie?
This MTV movie was so weird. Everyone is making a big deal out of how the male and female stars are both chubby but I think Erika Christensen and Mike Vogel are hot and they had good chemistry. What people SHOULD be making a big deal out of is the fact that this film is kind of bad but also kind of good. Its just one those movies that you could watch over and over because its so corny and the scenery is so beautiful. Katherine Heigl looks so differnt from when she was in My Father the Hero. Christopher Masterson was kind of hot in this. And Johnny Whitworth who I last saw 8 years ago in Empire Records, was okay and kind of hot. Its so weird how in the beginning he licks Katherine Heigl's face. Aimee Osbourne was the best thing in this movie probably and she had like no lines. But actually the best thing about it is Heath and Cate's relationship. Man do I wish I had a relationship like theirs. So passionate and intense and loving but also hating. They both did good in the movie. I really like Erika Christensen but I dont know why. All in all I wish there was at least one really hot guy in this movie but there wasn't and the sex scenes were nothin special.
