  William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996)

From Amazon: Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom) takes a shot at reinventing Shakespeare's story of star-crossed lovers as a visual pastiche inspired by MTV imagery, Hong Kong action-picture clichés, and Luhrmann's own taste for deliberate, gaudy excess. The result is explosive chaos, both in terms of bullets and visual sensibility, which some may find impossible to stick with for more than a few minutes. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes play the leads, though not with much distinction, while Pete Postlethwaite makes a huge impression as this movie's version of Friar Laurence. The film is successful in spots, but overall its fever-dream game...

William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet Movie Review by BillyBob (6/3/2009)

Arf! Arf!

Let's face facts - It only takes just 2 little words to explain the real reason behind this flick's utter failure. And, those 2 words are - CLAIRE DANES.

Without the presence of DANES, as Juliet, I believe that this flick could have actually had the potential to be better than it was. (Not much better, mind...

William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet Movie Review by Lisa (6/7/2007)

I do love Shakespeare, and for other fans of good ole Will you'll either love or loathe Baz Luhrmann's interpretation of Shakespeare's most famous Play.

Personally I loved it, even though it was clearly geared toward the MTV kids it still retained its integrity by sticking to the original dialogue. Baz Luhrman took away...
