bad idea, done wonderfully

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2003)

Updating Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was a bad idea to begin with but this movie was done wonderfully for what it was. This movie is very sad and only slightly violent. There are some minor mistakes but overall a very well done movie. The acting performances are absolutely phenomenal and it is very emotionally touching, despite the fact that such a movie is a bad idea. After all, I think that all teenagers can relate easily to Romeo and Juliet whether it's set in Elizabethan England or martians on Mars. Very good movie, bad idea to do, fabulous acting and a heck of a ride!
