Reviews

classicsoncall Reading Shakespeare is nothing like watching Kenneth Branagh direct Shakespeare. He interprets the Bard in a way that commands your attention and allows you to have a good time doing it. I actually first viewed the 2012 version of this movie done as a modern day retelling of Shakespeare's classic comedy, and I have to say, I found this work much more satisfying. It was much grander in scale and the characters came to life in a much livelier fashion. All of the principals did a fine job in their roles, and I'll go out on a limb here by saying that I enjoyed Michael Keaton's Dogberry character the most, just because he brought so much humor and wit to the role. That's not to take away from the romantic elements at the center of the story, as the principal players all turn in marvelously impassioned performances. What I wonder about is how the actors can memorize their lines of Shakespearean dialog and deliver them with such stunning ability and competence. It seems there's not a wasted phrase or moment that doesn't add clarity to the story. This is one Shakespeare inspired film I could watch again and again.

ciaran-03078 Much ado about nothing is a love story with ups and downs all the way to the final scene this is a tale from Shakespeare from love to marriage to death to arise. Again much ado about nothing is a beautiful tell but like all good films there's a villain this villain attempts to break up love by making disgusting allegations turning love upside down. This book later adapted to a film in 1993 and later 2012 many books that were adapted to films change parts and add in scenes that may not make sense to the story. But this film is an exception The film is basically word for word the book with slight bits of comedy to Adapt it to modern society .In conclusion this film is a good watch I would still say the book is better than the film because reading the story you can adapt the film in your head and use your imagination which in my opinion better to understand

Sophie Molloy I think this was an enjoyable film that you should watch if you enjoy Shakespeare and his work. The director included a range of quotes from the play and the characters showed their personalities and emotion which really added to the drama. It had me hooked from beginning to end and having already read Much Ado About Nothing it was very interesting to see how much a difference it was when see the words shown through actors. My favourite parts were when the characters were having conversation using Shakespearean language but with the knowledge of English and the characters facial expressions you could still understand and be memorized by it. I am happy with film and the only negative thing I have to say about it is the tendency for the characters to go over the top with there expressions especially when Claudio was looking trying to give the look of sadness and heartbreak because it came across more like he was having indigestion. Apart from this the actors were great and excelled their roles perfectly.

M MALIK Much Ado About Nothing 1993 is one of the most boring and worst films released in 1993.where is the plot its just everyone talking nonsense and what the hell were actors like Kate Bekinsale,Denzel Washington & Keanu Reeves were doing here wasting their talents.the dialogs are written by kids almost everything is below average including direction & locations,there is no comedy here & no romance this film is a lie.1993 was a great year it had many great cinematic releases like hard target,sleepless in Seattle but this one is boring piece of junk.much ado about nothing 1993 is a waste of time & money my rating for this is 1/10:Avoid it at all costs.
