Title: Not nearly as good as the reviews
Review: OK... I read the reviews, I like Shakespeare, I love early settings from the 16th and 17th century... this film has to be great. No... I'm afraid it's not. First of all, it's stage drama in a movie format. The lines are delivered for stage performances... its continous dialogue. The sound track is stereo only and muffled at that. I kept turning up the sound to hear the words. I have a fibre optics stereo/movie system with full surround. After an hour of forcing myself to edure the movie, I turned it off. I have over 700 DVD's in my collection, and only two I regret buying and this is one of them. Otherwise... the acting is good and role playing excellent.
Is the review positive or negative?
