Summary: ......................y a w n......is it finished yet!!?
Review: This is by no means awfull but it's just a bit dragged out and too much like hard work. I can't believe anything here in this film deserves any oscars, I mean....there is better acting in cack films like Species 2...ok....maybe I'm going a bit far but you know what I mean....nothing here thats worthy. The story line is very predictable which was frustrating cosidering you've guessed the storyline and this film goes on and on but I just enjoyed watching it for the shakespear one-liners and the ocasional bit of humour. Saving Private Ryan is 10 times better than this and deserves all the oscars that this film stole from it.......there is no justice!!!

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE!!!
Review: This may not be the worst movie ever made but it comes pretty darn close! From reading the other reviews I knew that I would either love it or hate it, and obviously I HATED IT!!! There was NOTHING entertaining about this movie - from the unconvincing love story and transparent plot to the frenzied performances. Don't bother with this one!And while we're on the subject - How anyone can compare this movie with SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is incomprehensible. Personally, I thought PRIVATE RYAN was a bit graphic for my taste, but it is a brilliant film and is destined to become a classic. Meanwhile everyone will be referring to this farce as "that bit of Shakespeare nonsense."

Summary: Shakespeare in Love -- Made me fall in Love with Shakespeare
Review: A work of Art so exquisite, so profound, and so moving, that words cannot express the beauty and romance I found in this literate piece of movie history. From the direction, to the screenplay and the acting, which was all perfection.....and finally I must mention the music, by Stephen Warbeck which was the most haunting music I have chanced upon in a movie since Hermann/Hitchcock. Those of you who decry overblown boring movies, look to those two overhyped, overmarketed, completely boring movies, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, and TITANIC... both of which bored me silly.... Shakespeare in Love stands alone as the finest film I have seen this decade at the very least.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: This is a very intelligent film, and it's entertaining. However, I don't think it deserved Best Picture. Additionally, Shakespeare, and Viola spent a little TOO much time making out etc. Other than that, it was a wonderful film

Summary: Good Movie, But Overrated
Review: Okay, earlier mentioned about comparing Saving Pvt Ryan with this movie. First, Shakespeare in Love did not portray much in the genre of "romantic comedy" and in fact was merely a SHakespeare adaptation film. However, it was a good movie. There's only one problem... This isn't the great point making excellent acting that produces a wild night at the Oscars, but the Academy gave it all to them anyways. Personally, Elizabeth was much better than Shakespeare In Love, and Saving Private Ryan was so exceptional it can almost be viewed as not getting the Best Picture because to give it to them would be such a lopsided decision people could view the decision as unfair. All In All: Good Movie, very buyable, but not the Best Picture caliber movie that everyone thought in My opinion.

Summary: At Least I'm Honest
Review: First of all, I don't like to watch movies about dirty people. Dirty, (needs to take a bath kind of dirty), rotten teeth, do I want to go to the movies to see that? So this movie was supposed to be so funny, so clever, so original, so witty. I found it to be mostly repulsive. And for romantic? It was people lusting for each other like two high school kids with over-active hormones. There wasn't much "romance" in here for me. Just for the record, I enjoy the plays of William Shakespeare. I love to read his sonnets. But as for this movie, much ado about nothing.

Summary: HOW CAN THIS...?
Review: HOW CAN THIS (CAN'T DISPLAY IMAGE) BE THE BEST PICTURE OF 98....? TELL ME, WHY DIDN'T SAVING PRIVATE RYAN WIN BEST PICTURE....

Summary: I loved this movie
Review: I thought that this movie was romantic and funny. I admired the love that the two characters in the movie shared for one another. It made wish for that kind of love with someone. I didn't expect the movie to end the way it did.I thought that they were going to end up together or run away together. It was sad the way it ended, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Summary: Not funny!!!
Review: What was supposed to be a romantic comedy it lacked one major ingredient. HUMOR! Sure, it was romantic, but it wasn't funny. I like to think of this movie as SCREAM for the intellectual set. It references so many other plays and playwrites that you need a degree to understand what they are talking about. I am a huge Shakespeare fan. I love his plays, but when done right. This was just a lame adaption of ROMEO & JULIET.
