Title: Can't believe how many people seem to think 21st century setting + 16th century lingo = a good movie
Review: I couldn't take Romeo + Juliet seriously because people holding handguns in modern day but speaking like 16th century yeomen. It's a joke, really. I don't know why hollywood keeps churning out crap like this; if you are going to make a shakespearean movie, the setting should at least somewhat line up with the lingo. The actors can't even act; it feels like they are just reading the text out of their high school english books. The only good movie that follows this trend is Hamlet starring Kenneth Branagh (or however you spell his last name), and that's because the dialogue could pass for the time in which the story is set (and Kenneth is an awesome actor, but thats beside the point). Avoid this like the plague.
