Title: Leonardo and Claire as Romeo + Juliet? hmmm....
Review: After Titanic, this was the movie that made me love Leonardo DiCaprio. The rest of the cast, except for John Leguizamo as Tybalt, did a very nice job-John was too over the top for me, Miriam Margolyes as the nurse was pretty funny, and Claire Danes was very cute as Juliet. The music fit the mood of the story very well. If you like Shakespeare's work, you may like this film as well. I saw BL's version of Moulin Rouge-which was good, but this is better. Now admittedly, the first ten minutes of this film may be hard to take for some, it seems more like a gangster shoot out sequence than WS, but oh well, those who don't have the urge to turn it off, the rest of the movie is very well done. How would Shakespeare feel about this film? Honestly, I don't know, my High School english teachers liked it, but they also liked the Farrelly brothers Kingpin, and I thought it was grossly stupid, so use your own judgment.
Is the review positive or negative?
