Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

mckennachurchill In the movie, Hamlet, directed by Kenneth Branagh, Prince Hamlet recently has returned from England only to discover that his father was mysteriously murdered and his mother remarrying his uncle, Claudius. One night, Hamlet comes face to face with the ghost of his deceased father, King Hamlet, who reveals that Claudius is the man who murdered him and asks Hamlet one thing, to seek revenge. Throughout this literary adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most well known plays, Kenneth Branagh leaves everyone on the edge of their seats as they follow Hamlet and his plot to seek revenge. The play itself is one to watch for, but the big screen adaptation is right there with it. The characters, emotions and actions were flawlessly shown throughout the film, leaving no complaints from myself. Though this may not be a movie recommended for those under the age of 13, Hamlet is acceptable to show to freshman in highschool and adults of any age. To conclude, the silver screen adaptation of Hamlet, is an exceptional movie and highly recommended for those who are fans of Shakespeare's work or for those who just want to enjoy a movie.

brandonwhite-40305 This movie adaptation of the well-known play Hamlet, directed by Kenneth Branagh is a masterpiece at worst; giving new life to the play and imagining it in a whole new light. This adaptation depicts the tragedy of young Hamlet with many new inspiring takes on Shakespear's original play. Having Kenneth Branagh playing the roles of both the director and taking on the main role of Hamlet, allows a perfect depiction of the character to be conveyed by himself exactly like he wanted Hamlet to be portrayed. This portrayal shows the deep emotions and thoughts of Hamlet giving the movie a more adult atmosphere, as younger viewers may not understand the meaning or interpretations as clearly. I do believe that this movie did a good job at keeping true to the story and plot of Hamlet, whilst still adding extra chaos and effects to improve the viewing experience. The great acting of Kenneth Branagh and the directional decisions he took to design this movie adaptation are two of the many reasons I found this piece entertaining to watch. I feel that his interpretation of Hamlet and small personal changes to the film from the original work helped create Shakespear's work to be visually expressed. This kept the movie both entertaining and exciting to watch, while keeping the same dramatic tragedy. I could not possible recommend this adaptation of Hamlet more than I already am as this was a wonderful film to watch and I hope whoever reads this review watches it too.

eriksivertsen-52715 Hamlet is a play written by William Shakespeare remastered in movie form by Kenneth Branagh. Hamlet is about a prince seeking revenge for the death of his father as his obsession slowly drives him crazy. Kenneth Branagh did a very nice job on this movie, I'll admit that I really liked this movie. That being said: Some of the dialogue in the movie is hard to understand but I won't blame Branagh for this because in shakespeare's original writings it's kind of hard to understand. Branagh's interpretation however does trade some of the source material for his own twist on such as the final scene where he adds some more action to it which is fine for me because it's enjoyable. You can tell the actors are enjoying reading their line from the amount of effort that they put into it, however sometimes it's to over the top and just laughable. The cinematography is well done but it starts to feel the same with the same constant rotational shots on a dolly camera whenever the characters are exchanging dialogue; this isn't noticeable if you aren't looking for it or if your invested in the story. I would recommend seeing this if your just someone who watches movies, just want to laugh at the goofy dialogue and how it's delivered, or if you want to appreciate one of shakespeare's classics revisualised in the modern day.

madelynkrus "Hamlet", directed by Kenneth Branagh, was a close replica to Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Hamlet is a young prince and his father had been murdered. To make things worse, his mother married his uncle. Hamlet had been visited by the spirit of his father, explaining who murdered him. He begins to investigate the person that was suspected. Only for many other tragedies to happen along the way. I thought that the movie was a good representation of what happened in the play. It would be hard for people that have not read the play prior or understand the way Shakespeare speaks. But overall the movie was very good and I would watch it again.
