"Shakespeare" The false story of a womanizer

Rating: 2/10 (14 March 2017)

Shakespeare in love in my opinion is easily one of the most overrated movies of all time. I know not ever one agrees with that statement, and sure I might just say that because it robbed Saving Private Ryan of the best picture at that years Oscars. But despite this, Shakespeare in Love is a chicle, boring and a historical mess of a film that feels like it was a film made to take advantage of history, but that history never happened. In this film Shakespeare during the making of Romeo and Juliet falls in love with a woman that inspires him to write the play in the first place. There is one positive in this entire movie and that is Judi Dench. Her performance was great and she only on screen for 10 minutes, but it wasn't really Oscar good, but that's in the past. As for the rest of the film it is easily one of the most boring and predictable movies ever made. Gwyneth Paltrow is stale and is mainly just eye candy for the main character and she doesn't do anything that great. As for the rest of the performances they are okay to good nothing that great. I have to give the movie credit, it looks fine and the sets and costumes are good, they just aren't that great. I don't understand what makes people love this movie I don't get it. I am not a big romance fan, but I love movies live Jerry Maguire and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I'm excited for the upcoming film Song to Song, but the difference between the two of those films and this one is those films have great writing and depth in their characters. There isn't any of that here. In the end Shakespeare in Love is good looking, but boring, chicle and stall romance and I won't even get started about the historically inaccuracy in the film. Overall this is another boring love story that isn't worth your time.
