Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

danielkeough This movie seemed interesting from the start. The dialect is cute and all, but it was very difficult to follow. I was hoping that thou hath created Subtitles, in English. Alas, I was not able to complete this journey. I bet if I could follow what was going on with modern dialect I could much better follow the story. I wish to write this review yet IMDb wants me to write yet more lines. I don't know how much more I can write about the film. The rating is lower because it was very hard to follow despite me being a native English speaker. If I were to be able to watch the more, I could write more, but alas I am not able to write more because I couldn't watch the movie more because I wasn't able to follow the movie so I couldn't write any more about a movie that I wasn't able to watch all the way through.

odb85 I love this play, and have seen many versions. I was even in a production in New Jersey.This is an unimpressive version of a great story, and the great moments come from the "writing"as the kids are saying nowadays. The leads may not be terrible actors, but they sure failed to move me here. Even Dogberry was pretty blah and that character can really uplift a failed production. Amongst an uninspiring cast, Don Pedro's character was the best of the bunch. I didn't mind listening to him at all. Even his moments with Claudio and Beatrice were bearable. The music was okay. There were some interesting staging choices, but that doesn't make this worth watching.I really can't get behind this film, and would recommend going to the theatre, or renting the other film versions.

fallonfantriple7 Hark! Here sits a film of excellent repute, and very well deserved. This movie is literally perfect. Shakespeare+Joss Whedon=genius. Joss Whedon reads so much into the words, and manages to make every line and every character in the story count. And they do. Every actor gives an amazing performance, but Alexis Denisof and Clark Gregg are the superstars of the film. Both bring so much talent and humor to their respective roles and deliver the lines perfectly. Amy Acker is brilliant as well and her speech following the wedding in the film is one of the highlights. The black and white cinematography as well as the brilliant lighting make the film appear timeless and yet very modern. Everything works so well. Perfect Shakespeare.

cats333 Seriously one of the best Shakespearean productions I've ever seen. American accents sounded strange at first, but then turned comfortable. The music was beautiful and the direction (both by Joss Whedon) was brilliant. Whedon is very loyal to the actors he works with so if you have seen any of his other stuff you will recognize several. Clark Gregg (Leonato)from The Avengers continues to impress me, but my favorites were Nathan Fillion (Dogberry "I am an ass.") and Tom Lenk (Dogberry's partner Verges.)OK. I admit to being a huge Whedon fan, which means I'm biased to begin with, but I loved this adaptation. I did start with a 10 out of 10 score, but then dropped it to a 9 only because nothing is perfect. While I do understand how some reviewers are panning this version by comparing it to the 1993 Branagh version (also brilliant) I would remind potential viewers that 10 years have passed between the making of these two movies and that Whedon and Branagh's vision/interpretation/direction is very different. Both are worth the viewing; this one just happens to be my favorite.
