Wildly cool...

Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2003)

This is probably one of the most controversial films of all time. Some people loved this movie. And I mean 'loved'. Other people really, really hated it. William Shakespeare was a quack, his plays were sh**. And now, someone has updated one of them to the screen, in modern times, and containing the play's original dialogue.
People need to wake up. This movie is wholly imaginative and inventive. You cannot honestly say that you've seen anything like this before. And then there are the people that need to realize that this film is really nothing special. It is average. Wildly cool...but average nonetheless.
Pretty boy Leonardo DiCaprio (TITANIC), Claire Danes (BROKEDOWN PALACE), John Leguizamo (WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN?), Dash Mihok (THE PERFECT STORM), and Jamie Kennedy (SCREAM) star in this somewhat modernized version of William Shakespeare's ROMEO + JULIET.
Towards the middle of the film, I got a little bored, but otherwise, this is a movie to see. ROMEO + JULIET: 3/5.
