Details

In director Baz Luhrmann's contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.

Ghoulumbe Better than most people think
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
kjmcd-63692 For the love of god, do not make a movie set in modern day with modern infrastructure and guns with shakespearean language STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PLAY SCRIPT. IT IS THE MOST CRINGEY THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. oh and the drag queen would get kicked off rupaul's drag race in round 1. they got the pool scene right, and that's it.
davidtkd-25249 Romeo + Juliet is a romantic drama film from 1996 starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes as the titular characters. The film was directed, co-written, and co-produced by Baz Luhrmann.The plot of the movie follows the original play released in 1597 by William Shakespeare. Nothing really else to say about the plot. If you've read the play, you know what the movie will be about. There are so many bad things about this movie. First off, the Montagues and Capulets use guns instead of swords as they did in the original play which is absolutely stupid. Why couldn't the cast during filming just get swords and make this movie more like the play they were basing it on? Also, my main problem with the movie is that the whole movie is exact quotations from the book, not normal talking like any normal movie that you've ever seen. I hate this as the movie gets so boring especially with its 2 hour runtime. The acting is terrible, with the exception of Leonardo DiCaprio. He makes an excellent performance as Romeo Montague. Overall, I hate this movie. I give it one star because I loved Leonardo DiCaprio's performance. Only watch this movie if you are a die-hard Romeo and Juliet fan or if you love romance movies. Otherwise, skip this one. Many may like, but not for me. A huge dissapointment and I'll probably never watch this movie again. 1/10.
said-buet10 I've never seen a movie like this and probably will never see one again. This whole thing is flashy and colorful and poetic at the same time. It's a very interesting take on perhaps the most famous love stories of all time.The acting in super good. Leo and Claire were young but their acting were very very good. Some of the supporting actors were too awesome to forget.The director did something unique with this story. Its brave and new and in the end gave us a movie which the audience will probably never forget watching. The way he merged modern time with this classic story is weird yet interesting.This is crazy and fun at the same time. Most of the viewers knows what is going to happen still will sit through this just because its very entertaining to watch.
hollie this film is very good I highly recommend this. so good actors and actress'.so good acting. very emotional. :):). I would watch this for the rest of my life. I can relate to Romeo and Juliet because there is a family (or two) that hate me and my family and me and my family hate them. I would recommend this to my friends and I get to watch this at school
