William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (Special Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Love the modernized twist!
Review: The fisrt time I saw this movie I was so confused, but then in school we started reading the play. I watched it again on HBO, understood it now, and I was hooked! I watched it every time it was on, including in class. I liked it much better than the '60s version. The modern one had so much more feeling and expression; the modern twist with modern music...it's so much more appealing to my young generation than something too historically accurate.

Summary: Awsome Adaptation
Review: This movie is a great modern adaptation of the age old tale of Romeo and Juliet. Set in modern times the original script is used almost to the word, and changes were done for the better... Shakespere himself would be proud!

Rating:
Summary: The movie didn't fulfill Shakespeare's vision
Review: This movie isn't worth the title, Romeo & Juliet. Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers of all time, if not the best. This movie comes nowhere near the 1968 version, which at least had actors with some talent (and muscle)!

Summary: This movie moves too fast
Review: This movie is excellent, except it moves too fast. It's hard for me to keep on track where I'm am. The language they spoke is same to the book but it just move to fast.

Summary: Captivating, Original, and Wonderful!
Review: This is the absolute best movie ever made. It is definitely NOT a formula movie. It is very original. Never really been done before. I recommend to everybody. But it seems that people over the age of 25 hate it. The death scene was done extremely well. Truly great film-making. A captivating movie.
