Title: The mixing of old and new elements doesn't work
Product review: I couldn't go for the mixing of elements. Motorcycles and chariots together? Uh-uh. It doesn't work. It's neither one thing nor the other.And I didn't like having the mute kid running around everywhere. It was annoying.The acting is great; Shakespeare is, well, Shakespeare. Same incredible depth of characters, even supporting characters who, sometimes, suddenly leave off their character, inexplicably developing a momentary conscience which they never had before. I suppose that'd be my only complaint about the genius himself.But really, this adaptation, this mixing of armored track vehicles with Goth and Roman helmets--it just doesn't do it.It distracts more than anything.
