Title: It won't be for everyone
Review: This won't be the sort of movie that will be enjoyed by everyone, and to be honest, it wasn't enjoyed by me. I appreciate that they were trying to do something different... an edgy Shakespeare set in modern times. However, it just didn't resonate with me. The language felt awkward and inappropriate, especially from Gerard Butler (and his thick Scottish accent). It isn't that I have an aversion to Shakespeare. Certainly not! In fact, I really enjoyed the movie Titus with Anthony Hopkins. But I suppose I prefer my Shakespeare language in a period film, with frilly collar costumes, when it doesn't feel a bit strange and laughable.In fact, I was watching the movie with my sister, and she DID laugh. She said the movie, "missed the mark" and I couldn't agree with her more.However, I give them 2 stars for attempting something I hadn't seen before. You have to commend that sort of bravery.
