Pros: Superb acting, production, costumes and sets. Cons: I really do miss seeing Romeo kill Paris.
My daughter's class studied Romeo and Juliet this year. The teacher showed segments of both this film and the DiCaprio one. My daughter and I had many lovely discussions about the comparison between the two and the flaws and pluses in each. There ...
Pros: costumes, sets, direction, script, score Cons: sometimes campy
Of all the cinematic adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays, none look better than Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet". The sets, the costumes, and the cinematography are bright and colorful, while the cast radiates with youth and energy. The...
Pros: Great film, beautifully done Cons: One shot of bare buttocks
When I saw the wretched, ultra-hip version of "Romeo and Juliet" several years ago - you know, the one with Leo Dicaprio playing Romeo like a younger, sulkier James Dean - I fairly ran to the video store to rent the 1968 version, lest the...
Pros: William Shakespeare Cons: Not that I can think of
Introduction
This movie is great news for the fans of the bard, the one and only William Shakespeare. It is the famous play by the bard set in a modern setting, and that does not seem to make the Shakespearean lines the least bit...
This is an excellent movie for Shakespeare fans... well even if you aren't and love romantic movies, this is a got-to-see movie! I watched this movie in high school and now I bought the tape and I watch it every now and then! This is the best Romeo and...
Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet is nothing less than a modern day classic, a fine combination of Shakespeare's timeless love story with all the best attributes of tasteful, intelligent film-making.
The first time I saw Romeo and Juliet, it was in high school, to accompany the book. Then I rented it. I've probably watched it a dozen times since then, and I always am impressed. The Love Theme from Romeo and
Juliet has been one of my favorites...
Pros: great acting, well done plot, it's a romance Cons: listening to that annoying theme song again and again in the film
William Shakespear's "Romeo and Juliet," has been made into dozens of different movies, all with their own special touch. This one, made in 1968 stars the beautiful Oliva Hussey (Juliet) and Leonard Whiting (Romeo).
Pros: My favorite film ever. Cons: Elizabethan language may be a little hard for a first timer to understand.
I will start by saying that I am a Shakespeare junkie and this is my favorite movie of all time so I am not very objective! I also must say that I not only love this movie, but I have also studied it as part of a research paper for a film class. I will...
Pros: Pros: Follows the play well. Cons: Cons: Somewhat overdone.
When watching this movie, I experienced something I never did when reading the play. It was breath-taking. This is by far the best screen version made. I bought this product after watching it in my high school literature class, where I first became ...
Pros: Stays mostly with the story Cons: Leaves out scenes, goes fast
I admit that the only reason that I ever saw this movie is because it was a requirement for my ninth grade college English class, but it was still pretty good. I know that everyone has heard the story of Romeo and Juliet, but this movie is more...
Pros: A great telling of a classic tale. Cons: Juliet's giggle.
Zeffirelli's version is the best I've seen thus far. Some scenes are omitted yet the story stays comprehensive none-the-less.
The acting is spot on for all concerned. The language is left intact. The costumes are wonderful. The music is...
Pros: Great historical film Cons: Leaves out part form the written play
I took a class that required that I read Romeo and Juliet. Being the romantic that I am, I was happy to do it. Although it took a little concentration, I slowing understood what Shakespeare was saying. That is when I decided to see the movie. If...
