Not entertaining in the least

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2005)

This has to be Leonardo Decaprio's worst movie. Before I saw it, I heard it was good...WRONGO! This good-for-nothing film is Shakespeare material presented in a pretty bad way. For example, it would have been a whole lot better if they could manage saying the same stuff in Shakespearian, but only in plain English. That, and the environment. If you ask me, it's in a poor setting for this movie. Verona BEACH, California has never been somewhere where anyone talks like this and it totally falls out of place for the dialogue. For a Shakepeare film, the setting has the following:
1. Masquarades where everybody is dressed like idiots and nothing really recklessly matters in their case 2. Cars 3. A pool instead of a balcony 4. Guns 5. Other stuff that is needlessly exaggerated
The only good things about it are the soundtrack and the 1968 version which is much closer to the way it is suppose to be for the dialogue AND the setting. See that instead and skip this. Not recommended.
1/10 stars.
