A classic redone

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2003)

This is not the Romeo and Juliet your parents saw. This movie is hip, stylized, and geared toward a younger generation. I saw this movie at 15, and have seen it several times since. Though my perspectives on it have changed in some ways, the overall outcome remains the same: this is a masterpiece. For overall excellence in cinematography, directing, and adaptation, as well as near flawless acting, I rate this a 10, it couldn't be better.
