MOVIE TRAILERS

LOL at "it doesn't look like it can shake a stick at Baz Lurhmann's contemporary adaptation." Lurhmann's R+J, like all other Lurhmann movies not called Strictly Ballroom, is a steaming pile of (to quote Vin Scully) fertilizer.

We should applaud Ethan for saying that Shakespeare is boring unless it had ADD editing, a rock soundtrack and bright colors. Who else but Ethan will stand for the philistines, the shallow and the stupid. Credit where credit is due.

Looks like Romeo and Juliet for Tweens with mediocre performances.

Problem is those Tweens they're aiming this for will be sitting there texting their friends "What did he/she just say?" Using olde English on them is like clubbing a seal with a golden stick. Sure it works, but it's a little more then they need.

Shakespeare is not written in "Olde English." Beowulf is written in Olde English.

Ok, not Olde but Old. Either way kids today won't have a freakin' clue.

I thought this actually looks promising. Any Shakespeare on film is better than none and these actors actually look pretty great, the right age for the roles.

Only interested if Juliet goes topless, like the 1960s version. I doubt that will happen in today's overly politically correct world.

I admit I've never been able to sit through any Romeo and Juliet movie-ever. I've come close with the one leonardo dicaprio was in. I can sit through hamlet and a midsummer nights dream in one sitting but never a romeo and juliet-I have no idea why and this one doesn't make me want to try which is sad because ever since that actress did true grit I have wanted to see what else she would do

What a muted and boring introduction to a possibly fatal rendering of an incredible play. Baz took a text a invigorated it for film, this looks not only lazy but cowardly. It's a complex piece and if the director didn't have a vision to enable it to be liberated on film what was the point? MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The world does not need anymore renditions of Romeo and Juliet. Also, I wish blowhards would stop undermining the intelligence of teens. At their age I understood Shakespeare and many of them do now.
