Title: Modern day Hamlet
Product review: This modern day version of Hamlet is quite interesting in its own way. I had watched this movie with the expectation of modern language, and so was pleasantly suprised to find that Shakespeare's language had been (more or less) preserved.I think that if the language had been modernized that this adapatation could have been a little more acceptable. But the younger actors, including Ethan Hawke and Julia Stiles, just couldn't seem to handle Shakespeare's lines properly. Many of their lines were rendered rather woodenly.Had the producers chosen better seasoned Shakespearian actors this movie would have had some real potential. It's a shame that star-power could so blight a promising film.
