Summary: the best Romeo & Juliet ever made!!!
Review: Hussy and Whiting are fabulous in their performances. My favorite scence was the Capulet party. I think it really captures the flavor and aura of the renaissance, especially with Rota's beautiful music. This is a must see for everyone.

Summary: Emotionally Touched and I Love this movie!!MAKE MORE!! :()
Review: I cannot describe how much I love this movie! Romeo and Juliet was so well directed, acted, designed, and incorporated that it deserves to be the besT! I love the camera movement when it introduced Romeo seeing Juliet for the first time at the party. The music was also great! It had great tempo and was relevant to the story and movement! For example, the music had the tempo of fast when the party began, then when Romeo met Juliet, the music slowed down. I love the music by Nino Rota! For all you out there fans of Romeo and Juliet(1968), buy the soundtrack by Nino Rota! Or you can buy the video! :) Whichever...Finally, I thought Hussey and Whiting acted very well! They "listened and respond" to each other honestly! P.S. I wish they made more films like this! Romance, innocence, and adolescence will capture any adolescent's adventure to finding true love! Plz make more movies like this! :) Good luck to the endeavors out there!

Summary: Who needs that Leonardo guy?!
Review: With this version of "Romeo and Juliet," there is something for everyone. Personally, the scene where the character of Romeo bears his, um...rear, is verrrrrrrry nice. Certainly not anything the newer version with those two teeny boppers can offer!

Summary: Shakespeare done the right way!!!
Review: I absolutely love this movie! They just don't make movies like this one anymore. Franco Zeffirelli, in my opinion does not get enough credit from the film industry for his films. He has a way of creating perfect beauty on film. The decision to cast Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting for the lead roles was a brilliant one. They are so perfect in their roles that they seemed like they were madly in love. I read recently that they actually did have a romance during the filming of the movie! I have seen the newest version of the film and I was not impressed. It just could not surpass the perfection of the 1968 version. I highly recommend that you see this movie. I am hoping that it will come to the big screen again!

Review: i saw the Romeo and Juliet movie of 1968 the first time in our german lesson! i always thought, there couldn`t be a better R&J video than that one with Leonardo and Claire,...but now i know it better! Because the version of Franco Zefferelli is the very very very very best movie in the world! the actors are great and wonderful, the music....the coustumes...and the true romance is unbelievebal! I cry every time when i see it (by the way, i saw it about 54 times till NOW *g*). I wish nothing more than meeting these two actors, because they are my stars and for me the very very best actors in the world!!p.s.: sorry for my worse english...i am still learning *g*

Summary: A movie to last for the ages!
Review: Seeing this movie for the first time in third grade was a startling experience. Yet, now in ninth grade, I see that this movie was truly beautiful in every facet and everything from sets to stars were meticulously selected. As for Leonard Whiting, I liked what one other reviewer said...BLOODY HOT, MAN!!! Anyway, it's a movie not to be missed, and I left truly moved. The passion in this film is irresistable,and the story is THE most durable love story in history. Viva Romeo and Juliet!!!

Summary: The greatest version of the story ever done in film.
Review: How Zefarrelli ever got these youngsters to perform Shakespeare so perfectly is beyond me. Watch this and realize that this is one of the bard's masterpieces. Mercutio and the nurse are to die for!

Summary: Everything Perfect
Review: When I saw this movie, my 9th grade English class mostly put it down as "Gay" or "Boring." I actually found it a very good movie. The actors and actresses play thier parts to perfection. And the music was absolutely fabulous. It gave a very emotional touch to the story.

Summary: Excellent--never seen such excellent movie like this one
Review: This movie is very good, I give it a 5 stars +++. More movies should be made like this one. Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey are the best. Perfect couple for this role. A very sad love story.
