Title: Total waste of time and money!!!!!!
Review: I tried to watch this movie with an open mind, but after I saw Mercutio, I just wanted to turn it off. I also had a hard time seeing modern times and hearing Shapearean language. To me, it just didn't work. Also, I thouhgt that Claire Daines lacked animation during the pool scene (who thought of this scenery addition?) She almost sounded like she was reading her lines from a script. Leo is a much better actor than what I saw in this movie. He went from speaking in a monotone voice to screaming. (Leo and Claire must have taken acting lessons at the same place) He seems to think that screaming out his emotions is acting. He did a much better job in Titanic. The only reason all of these teenage girls think he can act is because he is sort of cute. (Ah, love is blind) If you like Shakespeare and you want to see it done right, rent the 1968 version. It is a thousand times better than the so-called modern one and as an added bonus, the actors know how to act!
Is the review positive or negative?
