Watch Romeo + Juliet For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Simply A Masterpiece

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This and the '68 adaptation are so different they don't really compete with each other. Luhrmann is a genius. This version still stands as completely contemporary. The director makes the two kids wholly believable and alive. I liked the change he made to the death scene ending. DiCaprio stands out as ever. (viewed 4/17)

It is horrible I get more enjoyment from Godzilla(1998)

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.

The main problems with this movie is the directors style, which is generally a cringe worthy mix of something you would expect to find on MTV combined with a YouTube video where the editor had just discovered all of the effects. Just in the beginning scene alone, there's a scary number of consistent annoying zooms into close ups and the scene consistently interchanging between normal and slow motion. Instead of helping to progress the story, as any good film should, it instead gets in the way of the story, feeling as if the director was more worried about showing of his previously mentioned style and trying to be noticed instead of creating a good film adaptation of Shakespeare's work.The film then plummets to an even more more intolerable level as it reaches its first talking scene. Not only does the pacing of the film majorly slow but you realise that all the dialogue is written in old English. This makes some of the performances seem very flat because it is as if the actors don't actually know what they are talking about. Overall, this film isn't worried about its story but instead, it is constantly distracting you from it with the director trying to say "Look at me and my style". This makes the film very hard to sit through due to its cringe worthy style, weak performances and uneven pacing.
