Title: Horrible!!
Review: If I had a zero star choice, that's what I'd choose. This does not mean I don't love Shakespeare, I saw a way-off-broadway student production and they were absolutely great. "Suit the action to the word, the word to the action" is Hamlet's own words to the player, and he should have been there to coach Mel Gibson and Co. Every show of aggression in the film came as a shock- not a surprise. Very unsettling when you feel whatever emotion there is should not amount to this. The whole effect was very artificial, and that includes the acting, the filming, and the cast. The only saving feature was the set and costume, and they don't do nearly enough saving.
