Disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2016)

This couldn't be more disappointing. I think one of the biggest mistakes is trying to adapt a theater play to the screen, while keeping the original dialogs. Apart from being hard to follow Shakespeare's complex phrase formulation, the action is null and the spectator looses the interest quickly. The atmosphere though is very well achieved. The coldness and roughness of the middle age is very well represented. Regardless the initial criticism of the movie approach, the casting and the acting is not too bad. The performance of the actors is realistic and shows their real skill. Some others have been successful replicating Shakespeare's master pieces in the cinema, but for sure this is not one of them.
