Title: Drab, Dry, Overall the Worst Film Associated w/Shakespeare
Review: I don't feel it was clever or witty. In fact, the humor was a little off base for me, personally. I often drifted off in thought during dialogue. The only joy I recieved from watching the film was the direct words of Shakespeare's poetry (aka. Romeo and Juliet). The characters were plain, the plot slow and lacking clarity. Also, the character Rosaline was irritating and grotesque. Sexuality in female characters has been polluted enough with poor and ugly symbolism. Why continue to keep it so unnecessarily crude? Gwen is sweet and Shakespeare comes across as a naive, weak, confused and uninspired character. Purely heterosexual, ofcourse. I was expecting more depth and originality. But, it is nothing but plain, old mainstream entertainment in the end.
Is the review positive or negative?
