Reviews

gmsjordan It is horrible I get more enjoyment from Godzilla(1998)

chris_teasdale This is less of a review and more of a response to others. I will keep it short and sweet. There seems to be a lot of people upset that this movie doesn't stick to the original script exactly. In other words, read the play line for line. And what an absurd waste of time that would be. If I want to see the play, I will go to the theatre and see the actual play. When you go to the movies you expect something different. Not necessarily better. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a movie version set in the present day will be different. However, I know for a fact that even if the play had been copied line for line, some people would still not be happy about that. As I found out from someone's review of 'much ado about nothing' by joss whedon. Hence the title of my review. Some people just love to complain no matter what. I for one have always liked this movie and I would recommend it to anyone.

sergicaballeroalsina A movie in which this text is faithfully interpreted should be a pretty movie even with eyes closed. We should agree that theoretically there is no better dramatic text than any classic from the pen of Shakespeare. From this I deduce that at least half of the artistic purpose of the film is satisfactorily resolved. We could discuss its aesthetics although I think that has to do with personal taste. A wannabe contemporary drama through the post-modern setting of the rave parties landscapes and an aesthetic halfway between cyber-punk and techno of the second half of the 90s that refers to other movies of the decade. In this way it achieves the task of transferring such an important text to those days. I think that Baz Luhrmann could not have thought of a better way to recreate a paradigmatically baroque play that also containes his so characteristic aesthetic universe. The simplicity or complexity of the characters can not be discussed either; Only the performances can be questioned, but they develop favorably through the remarkable work of the actors. Be careful because if you are willing to contemplate the most famous love story in the world in a truly unprecedented environment, this can become one of your favorite dramas.

hollie this film is very good I highly recommend this. so good actors and actress'.so good acting. very emotional. :):). I would watch this for the rest of my life. I can relate to Romeo and Juliet because there is a family (or two) that hate me and my family and me and my family hate them. I would recommend this to my friends and I get to watch this at school
