Negative Positive
Title: Mel Gibson was not right for the role.
Review: Mel Gibson is not a good enough actor to play the extremely complicated Hamlet. He tries his best, but his performance looks over-the-top and forced. This movie also suffers from cutting the play almost in half and not developing the character right. I couldn't understand Ophelia's problem because she was so badly developed. Plus the castle the movie is set in is VERY ugly.The movie is difficult to watch because the castle is so ugly. Although it has many faults, the ghost scene is good and done in the correct way.
