Vibrant and cool; also sort of mediocre...

Rating: 6/10 (2 February 2004)

An entertaining, if seriously flawed, re-telling of Shakespeare's classic tale of young love starring Leonardi DiCaprio and Claire Danes as the infamous duo who sacrificed themselves over true love. Top-notch cast and some crazy modern-day direction by Baz Luhrman ("Moulin Rouge!") certainly makes for one of the strangest films to ever hit the big screen.
3/5 stars.
