Hard to Love, Hard to Hate

Rating: 5/10 (12 June 2008)

I watched this in my 7th Grade Reading class, and I have to say it was better than some of the others we've watched. I got quite emotional at some scenes, and it tells an epic story. My complaints include that the gunfights were low-budget by today's standards, and the fact that they were speaking OLD FREAKING English! I know that the original story was told written in Victorian times by Shakespeare and that it added to the atmosphere, but if they decided to tell this story in modern day Verona Beach, they could have updated the dialogue. I feel that another retelling of this with modern language and more action would do very well.
