Excellent film.

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2005)

I thought Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of Romeo was particularly outstanding. Along with the amazing performances by Claire Danes, and the awesome dude who played Mercutio.
I was also very impressed that the Director stayed committed to the original language used by Shakespeare - I think if the language had been edited it would have lowered the standard of the film considerably.
Along with works like 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' and 'The Basketball Diarys', I really have to give props to DiCaprio, and rate him as a truly excellent young actor. And if I was a chick, I'd totally hit that :P
Also brilliant was the sets, costumes, and pretty much everything! The last thing that made it awesome for me was the soundtrack. Anything with Radiohead is going to be good, but the other music was great to. 'Talkshow Host' by Radiohead takes the cake though! It fit in PERFECTLY with the feeling of this movie.
I thought this was outstanding, and I definitely recommend it!
