Review of Hamlet

Hamlet (2000)
Speak English!!!
5 June 2003
I was recently forced to sit through this movie for 110 agonizing minutes in my English class. I had absolutely no idea what the h*** any of the characters were saying, why didnt they just do the movie in Latin for god's sake? From what I got out of it, there was a major corporation,(Denmark?) something about two young lovers and a CEO. Perhaps if they had made this film in its original setting, it might have worked, but they just can't make it work in modern day. I think it is because modern people don't speak like they do in the movie. I guess maybe I should have learned Shakespearean language beforehand to derive any enjoyment from it. I could tell that the actors were talented, it's a shame that they wasted it on something like this. **/10
