Come on now, make some dialogue that's worth understanding

Rating: 5/10 (30 April 2006)

Romeo and Juliet is based on Shakespeare's famous tragedy about two lovers torn between their two families vicious hatred towards each other based in present day Verona. The movie was pretty boring to me actually. I'm glad the movie followed the play really well, but still it was annoying hearing the dialogue that was used 400 years ago. If you wanted to make a better film, you could've made it like the film "O" based on Othello. O didn't have that dialogue and it still was quite an enjoyable film. Overall, Leonardo's great looks and the big cast didn't make this an entertaining film and that goes along with the dialogue too!
