Horrendous!!

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2005)

Firstly, the story of Romeo and Juliet has been done too many times, and contains no real substance. Second, this modern angle makes it worse than ever before. DiCaprio is a terrible actor, they should have cast someone who can show emotion and speak properly. Danes annoys me because she is always emotionless and appears to be high. The soundtrack had nothing to do with the movie, and was irritating. The only amusing part was when Mercutio dressed up as a transvestite. Bad movie, poorly made, overrated, and painful to watch. Did I mention that the story is insulting to women? If you're looking for a good Shakespearean romance flick, check out "Shakespeare In Love", instead.
