Summary: Brilliant
Review: This movie was.....suspenseful, catching, intelligent, and you had to be able to pay attention to understand what was going on. Though a love story, this is not simply a chick flick...I loved it, I watch it over and over..... It's perfect.....

Summary: Appealing stars and original at heart
Review: A very interesting, original movie, which seems to get better and better the more times you watch it. The leading stars are appealing, and an admirable performance is delivered by Postlethwaite as the Friar. The set (art direction, I suppose) is very beautiful. Unfortunately, the first few times you watch it, its dream-like story seems to crawl and lose all its dreaminess. Movies need to have an impact the first time.

Summary: Awful. Just awful.
Review: When I saw it in the theatre, I nearly walked out after the first 20 minutes. Several people who didn't mind losing their money did walk out. After the horrid gay transvestite musical number, the movie becomes merely dull. I never was much of a Shakespeare fan because the languange has changed so much over the centuries, but this movie took what was basically a decent play and made it into some sort of twisted West Side story wannabee. If you love Shakespeare, you'll probably like this twisted version. If you don't really care for the Bard, then avoid this one.

Summary: Fantastically original!, a visual slendor to experience!
Review: This film is Wonderfully constructed, and an extraordinary concept. Taking William Shakespeare's classic story and tranfering it into today's enviornment is fantastic. The real testament to the films success, is in the fact that it does not matter if you know the the story or not. It's so effective in it's look and design, that it automatically captivates you, comanding you're attention. Combine the fact that you have a classic story behind that look, and it guarentees that the tale will eventually transcend it's time period. With a combination like that; hey! you can't go wrong bro! Excellent

Summary: The Best Movie of all TIME!
Review: This is movie captures the true essence of DiCaprio's wisdom, and acting ability, he is not a no-talent hack, if you have seen him in other movies you will see that he can play a variety of parts. As for Claire Danes, brilliant! She is not only a great actress, but she is beautiful too. The movie is a true 90s way of making a old play, beautiful again. I watch it whenever possible, and one day hope to own it (someday, tomorrow) Once again, great movie, everyone should see it, especially people looking to laugh and cry. Wonderful!

Summary: ...motion in emotion!
Review: Baz Luhrmann's contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's timeless classic is motion in emotion!Accurately translated with zeal that radiates through the film, as the stars above our head. Intriguing from start to finish to the point, that you could mistake the screen for a window into someone's elses world of sight and sound.

Summary: Get a real Romeo and Juliet!!
Review: I saw this piece of rip off trash in the theater and wanted to leave after the first 15 minutes. I decided to rent it since everything else was out and it got worse on the second viewing. The beginning fight looks like a parody of West Side Story (another pathetic excuse for the true R & J). The story plods along at a snails pace and DiCaprio has to be the worst Romeo in cinematic and theatrical history. As someone who's played the role, I noticed he never even came close to capturing the true essence of Romeo. A young man torn by true love and a tragic mistake at the hands of a family feud should be played as such not a bad ripoff of a Bon Jovi video. DiCaprio walked through the role and seemed to be yelling whenever any real emotion was needed. What a no-talent hack! The only bright spots in this movie were Friar Laurence and John Legumiziamo. A real movie would have been Legumiziamo as Romeo. Then at least you would have had a real actor playing this romantic role and someone with some testosterone. Alas poor Tybalt! We hardly knew you!
