When I saw this movie, I felt my soul die. It was beyond unbearable. There are NO SETS. Only black background drapes and a few pillars. At one point you can see Hamlet wearing a leather jacket. There is NO MUSIC. When the actors aren't mumbling, they're all whispering for some totally unexplained reason.
I like the play Hamlet. I loved Kenneth Branagh's version, and I liked Mel Gibson's. I read the original play and found it entertaining, once I got used to the old English.
These actors male it unbearable. There is nothing worse than watching one of history's greatest dramas being DUBBED (badly) into English.
If you're at all familiar with the show "Mystery Science Theater 3000", then you'll love this.
If not, I'd run as fast as possible to the closest copy of "Ishtar". It's your only hope.
