a new adaption of the classic that everyone knows. It was a great way to put Shakespeare back in the minds of the younger generation. good idea. Though it was a little different to see it modernized.

Simply an amazing adaptation of Romeo + Juliet! It's modern, it's exciting, but the real kicker is this - all the dialogue matches the original Shakespeare play. That's what really makes this movie worth watching. If you never could quite follow...

Simply an amazing adaptation of Romeo + Juliet! It's modern, it's exciting, but the real kicker is this - all the dialogue matches the original Shakespeare play. That's what really makes this movie worth watching. If you never could quite follow Romeo + Juliet because of the dialogue, this movie is for you. You get the original dialogue, with a movie that helps you follow it the whole way. DiCaprio is amazing in this performance.

I loved it. The way the directer interpreted Shakespeare to a younger and modern crowed was unbelievable. I absolutely loved that they kept the language in the same that Shakespeare wrote it, making it all that much better because it has the feel of Shakespeare. There is kind of a conflict between what you're hearing and what you're seeing that makes you interested and curious as to what is going on. It almost sort of fades away after the second time you watch it because you know the story and what's going on and how it ends so you're basically watching just for the visuals. That's why they needed to be off the charts and over the top with their acting and colors and visuals so that you know what part of the story your at and what's going on because you might not be able to understand the language. It is a movie for the eyes but for me I understood what was being said because if you just listen you can easily understand it. I am not a Shakespeare fan personally but I respect him as a legend because so many are influence by him and consider him to be, so he is. The directer seemed to be and through him I can see the brilliance in Shakespeare's work.

This is the worst movie I've ever seen.I was at Blockbuster's a few weeks back and this version of the movie was avalible.Now I'm currently watching this piece of abomination with my classmates.
