Movie Reviews of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (Special Edition)
Movie Review: William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet
Summary: 4 Stars
I general like Shakespeare to be done in the time it was written for. However, I enjoy anything that Leonardo DiCaprio or Clair Dane does and totally enjoy this film eventhough it has been brought up to date. I give it four stars only because of this.Movie Review: Fantastic Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie and the format is also wonderful in that you can stop the DVD and just look and listen to certain songs in the film. It's a terrific way to present a classic..Movie Review: Tripe
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, why the need to call it "William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet"?
I mean, was there a danger of the public confusing it with Barbara Cartland's or Edgar Allen Poe's Romeo & Juliet?
Are the producers of this piece of tripe so supercilious that they feel the viewing public wouldn't know who wrote Romeo & Juliet? Are they? Are they?
As to the film itself, little more need be said about the performances (uniformly terrible), the music (annoying) and the "modern" updating (ludicrous).
Movie Review: I Love this Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing Actors, wonderful cinematography, this movie is a great update of Shakespeare. It keeps with the original language of the play, (which may sound suprisingly modern to some at certain points). The only thing that disapointed me was that it contains only about 1/3 of the original play, But what else can you expect in the age of A.D.D.?Movie Review: Shakespeare Rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this version of Romeo & Juliet. I call it "in your face Shakespeare." It is a good introduction to Shakespeare for teenagers. It shows them that the themes of older literature are still relevant today in their world.
