Title: If you don't like it the first time, watch it again.
Product review: The best Hamlet ever. Mel Gibson's Hamlet seemed to breath new life into a tired vehicle, but Ethan Hawke's version not only enlivens, but also makes it believable. It is the only version where the audience really doubts Hamlet's sanity, and Hawke pulls it off magnificently. There is a wonderful mental ambiguity that emerges from this adaptation. Usually Hamlet gets mad, in this one Hamlet goes mad, and we follow. Very believable.This Hamlet is like fine wine, it gets better each time you watch it. The first time you see it, the layers of novelty and creative innovation are so thick, it is almost intimidating or overwhelming. You can be absorbed by the costuming and sets and miss the plot. Try it again. It gets better everytime.The acting is superb throughout.
