It made me sick. And I had no way out!

Rating: 1/10 (29 September 2007)

I had to read Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" twice in freshman English. I had to watch Franco Zeffirelli's unbearable adaptation twice in two different classes. Lucky for me, this was only shown once. But that scarred me for life.
Leonardo DiCaprio-- what are you ever thinking? He obviously means to prove he's a serious actor, but that all goes out the window when you consider the fact that he's been in a movie where Mercutio dresses up like Marilyn Monroe.
I won't waste any more time groaning over the terrible acting, because Luhrmann's woeful misplacement of Shakespeare's worst work ever in 1990s California is enough to bemoan this filth. It features the director's signature etherealism, which, as always, leaves me with a five-day migraine and the ever-rising taste of bile.
Someone should take out their sword 9mm and pump bullets into every existing copy of this movie before it further pollutes the face of Earth.
