REVIEWS

Review by OwatzNaName (posted on 15-Mar-2005)

Personally I thought the new interpretation of Romeo and Juliet was awesome. And the characters really spoke the language well. I was not a huge fan of DiCaprio but when i saw the movie i thought "wow it really showed his acting skills." I also liked Jesse Bradford who took the small role of Balthasar and really made something memorable out of it. For such a small role it especially showed when his character brought the news of juliets supposed death to Romeo. I know to some Shakespeare fans this movie was offensive but it really turned out to be better than i thought it would be. The cast was mesmorizing and really brought the story to life. I felt like I was really there. To me this was one of the best movies ever... but thats just my opinion... at least it made more since to me than the 1968 version with Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whitting that version didnt seem as alive as this one... Thats why I give it 4 stars. It was a truly captivating film.
