Negative Positive
Title: Dreadful
Review: This film has many problems, bad cuts, miscasting, etc. - but I'll limit myself to Mel Gibson here. This is the most ridiculous Hamlet I've ever seen. Mel plays him with swaggering machismo (the only thing he is capable of) and it is wrong, wrong, wrong. Hamlet is a passive-aggressive type; he is indirect in everything he does. Laurence Olivier's is a good example as to how he should be played. Gibson's doesn't even make any sense.And as far as the cuts, they're particularly bad here, but everyone does it. Olivier cuts quite a bit out of it himself.
Is the review positive or negative?
