An abomination

Rating: 4/10 (30 March 1999)

William Shakespeare is turning cartwheels in his grave. There are good "updates of Shakespeare..." "West Side Story" and "Forbidden Planet..." and then there are films like THIS. Taking Shakespeare's script and plopping it into modern-day Los Angeles was the worst way to translate Shakespeare I've ever seen. I can only hope that this movie serves as a constant reminder that when things aren't broken, they shouldn't be fixed.
