Customer Reviews of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (Special Edition)
Just not quite right Romeo and Juliet, the Movie: A good idea, gone rather badly. The actors and actresses were all reasonably good, but I just can't get over the language. It is somewhat strange to see a man, before he is about to blow up a gas station declare "It is thy mortal foe, Romeo. Why dost he cometh here?" It just doesn't work. Tip to all producers: *If you are going to modernize an old work, make sure to remember the dialouge.
An amazing adaptation beyond all others
Whats so wonderful about this film is that it gave new life to a story thats done over and over redundantly I might add. ALmost every love story now has some draw to Romeo & Juliet...abandoned love as it may be, but this film, taking the story by the horns, gives the veiwer a look at where it all began, and what a beautiful look at that. The dialog, while some may find stupid don't understand that this is not supposed to be a remake but a reinterpritation, same dialog, same sequence of events but just different background, and what a backdrop that is. THe scenery, the direction is almost is not as moving and gripping as the film itself, and the acting, I mean we all know that despite there typecasting as the pretty people Claire Danes and Lenardo DiCaprio are amazingly talented, thus DiCaprio's multiple oscar nominations, but in this film, with Shakespears words floating off their tongues, they prove they were talented even at such a young age. Especially Claire Danes who makes you want to weep for her, feeling her pain as she's denied the only man she's every loved and forced onto the hand of a man she loathes. The story of Romeo and Juliet will play a large part in american pop culture forever I'm sure, and this film will stand its own as the most infectious and most entertaining, not to mention the most inspired and invisionary adaptation of this tragic love story.
WTF? Makes no sense at all
I was shown this in my English class because we were reading the play. It made no sense at all. Its set in 1998, when its really suposed to be set in the 1500's, in Verona not in LA! and 19th century americans speaking like 15th century old english people? thats just stupid, they could have just written their own diolog for the scripts. i didn't know what they were saying--so gay. The acting was terrible, And using guns instead of swords, they are like "Draw your sword" and he pulls out a gun..uhhh..... after it was over I was thinking "WTF***ing hell was up with that? it made no sense. A bad interpitation of a great play.
