SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

leethomas-11621 This and the '68 adaptation are so different they don't really compete with each other. Luhrmann is a genius. This version still stands as completely contemporary. The director makes the two kids wholly believable and alive. I liked the change he made to the death scene ending. DiCaprio stands out as ever. (viewed 4/17)

chris_teasdale This is less of a review and more of a response to others. I will keep it short and sweet. There seems to be a lot of people upset that this movie doesn't stick to the original script exactly. In other words, read the play line for line. And what an absurd waste of time that would be. If I want to see the play, I will go to the theatre and see the actual play. When you go to the movies you expect something different. Not necessarily better. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a movie version set in the present day will be different. However, I know for a fact that even if the play had been copied line for line, some people would still not be happy about that. As I found out from someone's review of 'much ado about nothing' by joss whedon. Hence the title of my review. Some people just love to complain no matter what. I for one have always liked this movie and I would recommend it to anyone.

andreasringsby I ended up watching this movie with my class, because my teacher said that it was such a great story. Off course everyone had heard about the story, but no one had seen the movie. However, It was not the original movie we saw. Nope, we ended up watching the modernized 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet, and the first thing I saw was Jamie Kennedy as a colorful punk with pink hair. When he is introduced before Leonardo De Caprio, screaming around with his punk friends I already knew that the movie will be annoying. And I was right. If I would describe this movie whit one word it would be "annoying"! The original dialogue from the original story is put into this modern time movie, something that does not work at all. The acting is decent, while all the emotions to different characters is everywhere.Would not really say that this is any great movie to watch, not the worst movie I have seen, but it is annoying enough to give it a 2/10 stars.Hope you enjoyed my first short review here on IMDb and I hope you are agree with me.

hollie this film is very good I highly recommend this. so good actors and actress'.so good acting. very emotional. :):). I would watch this for the rest of my life. I can relate to Romeo and Juliet because there is a family (or two) that hate me and my family and me and my family hate them. I would recommend this to my friends and I get to watch this at school
