Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2004)

This modern day version of the best ever love story of all time is to me amazing. Dicaprio and Danes have a on-screen romantic connection like I've never seen before. They seem to click so brilliantly. The setting and music and script is just perfect. The mix of the violence from the youths and the romance between Romeo and Juliet is so special to this film, its what makes it. The ending is to some very depressing but also if it didn't happen it wouldn't make the film what it is. Dicaprios acting is to its best in this film and Danes is not as bad herself, the combination was great. I haven't seen another adaption of this story made as greatly as this one. Great love story so id give it a 8/10. A definite one to watch.
