After seeing Hamlet I was greatly looking forward to seeing this film and as soon as I saw the trailer for it I knew I would not be disappointed. A big thank you to the director for putting the film together in such an excellent way. Everything is just great, the score, the direction, the script, everything is just great. The acting was excellent, the costumes, the sets, everything is just amazing. I have to say that for a budget film this film is very high quality. If I have to say something bad about the film it would have to be that some of the accents were a little bit silly at times but overall it was a very good film.

I can see why this is not the favorite of most people. This film is too dark for many people. There is a lot of emotion. The actors are good. A lot of the dialogue was incredible. All of the actors, from Kate Winslet to Nicole Kidman, were outstanding. I can see why this film didn't get wide release. It is a beautiful film. It is definitely worth seeing.

With "Hamlet" it is a typical Hollywood production. In this, however, the characters are very well made. The music is as well done as the acting. The cinematography is very well done. The production values are very good. The acting is very well done. The lighting is very good. The musical score is very good. All in all, a good production. A good film.

I really enjoyed watching this film. The acting was superb, the story was rich and the musical score is haunting. I found that when the film ended I actually did feel that I had watched Hamlet. The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. The music was simply wonderful and I would recommend this film to anyone who likes Shakespeare. 8/10

I know that I'm in the minority, but I found this play to be superb. I was interested in the complexities of Hamlet's mental illness, and was intrigued by the extended and often elaborate psychological confrontation of Hamlet and Ophelia. After the play, I was interested in watching the extended DVD, which is long, but very informative. The DVD includes the commentary by the director, an extended version of the DVD with extra features, and a commentary track by a well-known actor. I'm not sure why the commentary track was cut, but it seems unnecessary. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this DVD, particularly if you're a fan of Shakespeare.

What can you say about this film that hasn't already been said? It is so beautifully executed that it surpasses the movie in terms of quality. It is truly a great film, and anyone who can understand, understand, and love this movie deserves a great cinema experience. As with any great film, the audience is put through a roller coaster of emotions and it is up to the audience to decide whether the film is worth their time. This is definitely one of the best films of the year and will remain one of the most popular films for many years to come.

William Shakespeare (a fellow composer) wrote this play in the early 1600s. The production I saw was in a small house in a small town, in an English country town, in front of a "stag and fiddle" theater. There were about 15 of us people and we were each given a 6-day advance screening to see the play. What a blast! A new play I hadn't heard of before! At first I thought the film might be good, but I was wrong! This was a terrific film of a fantastic play. It didn't try to give anything away about the play, but it was fairly clear what the characters were up to. It was also funny. The story is a little confusing at times, but it still kept me on my toes. The movie was very good. It kept the audience guessing as to what was going on. The costumes were very well done, with lots of color and wonderful costumes. I liked how the costumes were created as well. I liked how the costumes were one color, one piece, and very "uniform." The scenes were well set up and seemed real. I liked how this movie didn't try to hide anything from the audience. The movie went right to the action, which was a good thing. We were kept guessing what was going to happen next. I also liked how the character of Ophelia was played by an actress, instead of a boy. This really showed the realism of this play. This movie was very entertaining. I really liked it. There are parts that made me cry, and there are some parts that made me laugh. I think this is a great movie to watch for any Shakespeare lover. I don't think anyone would walk away from this film with any disappointment, but it is definitely a film to see. I give this movie an 8 out of 10.

Hamlet (1997) is an English television movie that was produced by the BBC, written by J. M. Barrie and directed by Peter Weir. The film stars J. M. Barrie, John Hurt, Hugh Bonneville, Johnathon Schaech, and David Thewlis. John Hurt plays Sir Ralph, a lawyer who lives with his wife and children in a large Victorian mansion on the Thames. The house is a place of relaxation for the family, however the Baron who owns it keeps them away from their real world. He's been grooming a young and somewhat out of place son to be a servant, and when the boy arrives at the house, he is just as well suited for the role as his elder brother. But the Baron intends for him to be a pupil, and the younger brother is not a suitable pupil. When a mysterious student of his arrives, the family are enthralled by his intellect and his abilities. While the family seek to gain his confidence, the student has a fascination for the Baron, and the school of thought that he has fostered in the family is unleashed. The British public were treated to a film about one of the most notorious Shakespearean tragedies of all time. It's about the affect of Shakespeare's plays on the public and the author's legacy. It also had a story to tell. As well as being a film about the tragedy, it's also a story about the influence of the play on the state of England at the time, and the personal impact that the play had on the people of the time. The director Peter Weir shot the film in its original language and the entire cast was in their native language, thus it felt authentic to the period and the play itself. The film also had a good story to tell, and although some of the scenes and their dialog might be somewhat predictable, the story has a compelling power to it. The film also had a strong performance from John Hurt, who took on the role of a man who's character has been taken over by the play. He's played many roles and he always stands out as an exceptional actor, but here he's absolutely magnificent. I could not pick out a single moment from the film that I didn't like. The direction was excellent. The photography was good as well. It also had the necessary understated humor to make the story work. It was a good film and I recommend it to anyone who's interested in this particular play. The problem I had with the film was that it was too long. I would have liked to have seen a more clever editing of the film, a more interesting and original character of Sir Ralph and also a better ending, but I did like the story itself. It was a good film, it's worth seeing.

Hamlet is not a drama, although I would say that it is not a comedy either. It's a melodrama which, after a while, you can't help but feel in the story of Hamlet, but not in a realistic way. You can almost feel Hamlet's pain, his fear, and how he doesn't know what he is doing, or who he is doing it for. The film is directed by Sir Ian McKellen (Peter Pan, Dr. Strangelove) and is also written by David Hare (The Hours, Moonstruck, The Interpreter, Christine, The End). Hamlet is a good and tragic film. The cast is superb, but the best performance was given by Anne Hathaway as the main character, who was even more good than the entire cast of the film. She managed to evoke Hamlet's emotions, but also the sadness that was caused by the loss of his mother. And she was not bad in the role either. Her voice and the way she moved was amazing. Overall, Hamlet is a good film, but it is not a great film. It is also very hard to understand, if you don't speak French. In my opinion, this film is a classic film of the 20th century, and that is why I have given it an 8 out of 10. In my opinion, the best thing that could be said about Hamlet is that it's a good film. It's a good film, but it's not a great film. One thing that I didn't like was the way it was directed. It's too realistic, because when Hamlet was in prison, you could see how bad his prison was, and the way he was treated. Also, he was beaten by other inmates. I didn't like that at all. I would have liked a better film with a more realistic way of showing things, but I can't say that I have heard of a better way of showing things. Anyway, Hamlet is a good film. It's not the greatest film ever made, but it's a good film, and that's what it's supposed to be. My rate of 8/10.

This is a very compelling film and a first-rate performance from all involved. It is not what one would expect and the viewer may or may not like what he or she sees. The story, in itself, is very good but what really makes the film a treat are the performances. Richard Gere is great as Hamlet and the supporting cast is great as well. Stephen Rea, as the old man who is always going to be Hamlet's teacher, is also very good. He is wonderful. Andrew Prine as the young Hamlet is, I believe, one of the best acting jobs I have ever seen. He is very natural and just the right age to portray the young Hamlet. John Hurt, as the King, is also very good. He does an excellent job as the stern and almost more than human King who has spent his life watching Hamlet play Hamlet. The younger actors in the supporting cast are also very good. I also have to mention Lisa Tutin as the Little girl Hamlet sees and imagines with his eyes. She is one of the most outstanding performances I have ever seen from a child. I am not a fan of Lisa Tutin but I can't help but to admire her acting and her beauty. The production is beautiful and the sets and costumes are exceptional. All in all, this is a good film and one of the most entertaining I have seen in a long time. I recommend it to anyone who has not seen it and is interested in a film that is intriguing and compelling.

This film was one of the best I've seen in a while. It has an incredible cast (including a stunning performance by the ever-awesome Rachel Weisz), a superb soundtrack, great sets and an unforgettable storyline. Director Richard Linklater made a truly great film, and I hope that his next film will be as good as this one. One of the few movies that I would like to see again and learn from it, and I would like to see it with friends. I would give this a 10/10!

When I saw this film at the cinema I thought it was the greatest film I have ever seen. But when I viewed it on DVD, I realised that this film isn't as good as I thought it was. When I first saw it I thought that the character was a lot more similar to Richard Harris in Atonement. However, the characters in this film are also not as much in sympathy with each other as Hamlet's were. It is when Hamlet decides to go through with his plan that the film loses its emotional impact. Also, it is when the stage is pulled out from under the actors that the film loses its power. Overall, this film is a great film that could have been great with a bit more heart.

I was amazed to see that the directors of this film didn't change the story or direction by changing the actors. And the film is so original. I feel as if they really captured the mood of the original play. I didn't feel as though I was watching a live theatre production. I felt as though I was watching a staged play. The film had me asking questions and I felt as though the audience was able to ask questions as well. It was really unique and different. I felt as though the film was so important to the history of the play and the director did a great job of bringing the film to life. It is amazing how the film was able to be made so different. I would have thought that the filmmakers would have gone to more expensive film and changed the filming style. The use of the actual locations was amazing. I felt like the actors had a large role in the film. It was so important to me that the director had made the film completely true to the play. The film is an amazing film and I feel that it will help introduce people to Shakespeare and make them think about the play.

As a loyal and enthusiastic fan of the play, I was delighted to see the director's re-make of Hamlet, and I am pleased to say that it was a successful effort. The film was more faithful to the original text than the stage version. Despite the differences in location, characters, and pace, the film is more coherent than the stage version. The direction was great, although I wish the camera had a more moving-figure viewpoint in the closeups. I thought the acting was very good, and the actors did a marvelous job portraying Hamlet's madness, and the violence. The very final shot of Hamlet's face after his nose has been cut off was particularly haunting. The cast was outstanding, and the music was very appropriate. My only complaint is that the film didn't have a closing song, so Hamlet is out of his mind and begins to sing at the end. I just wish that the music would have ended, but it had a nice final note. The director did a wonderful job with Hamlet. Hamlet's parents are very good, and I would have liked to see them more on screen, but the cast was excellent. My only complaint is that the film was not a great success, but it is not a complete failure. It would be a very nice film for younger audiences, but it is not meant for adults. I liked it very much, and I will be looking forward to seeing the director's other work. (I am also looking forward to the television adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra)

The film "Hamlet" is a very original film that really gets to the heart of the story and shows how much Shakespeare is to Shakespeare. The film is very long but it is well worth the wait. This is a great film to watch with friends or with family members because it is extremely entertaining and entertaining. For some reason I liked this film better then "Macbeth" but it is a very close call. If you have never seen this film then watch it and make sure you watch the English version of the film.

It's a shame that this is the only play that this one plays. This play is great. I would like to give this play a 9, but it's only a 7 out of 10. This play is full of emotions. This play is interesting, full of suspense, and full of laughs. This play is a winner.

I'm not sure why this movie didn't get more publicity, but what can I say? It was a great film. It is exactly what I expected from a Shakespeare adaptation. The actors were just right, and it was nice to see Richard Roxburgh in something like this. If you're expecting something like the "Hamlet" movies, you're going to be disappointed. If you're looking for something new, you might enjoy this film, but I don't see it as one of those. If you're looking for something fun, watch this film. It's a must see.

I caught this film as I was on a plane from Norway to Italy. I watched it with a friend who is a romantic actor. My friend told me she would not have watched it if she knew what to expect. So it was interesting to watch a film that had been so universally dismissed by critics and audiences. There was a sense that it was nothing more than an excuse to have another go at Shakespeare. I was a bit skeptical because of the initial viewing but in the end I liked it. Hamlet is not a perfect film. The plot is a little bit convoluted. It would have been easier to explain if the film had been adapted from a stage play. But that did not mean that I found the story boring. I liked that it did not attempt to explain everything and instead focused on the reactions of the characters and their reactions to things they have done in their lives. Hamlet is a great character study and I would recommend this film to anyone who has not seen it. I rated this film 8/10.

I am a huge fan of David Hare's productions. Hamlet (1969) is a masterful adaptation of a Shakespeare play with brilliant acting, brilliant direction, and fantastic music by John Barry. It was a rare chance to see a Hamlet that had its own life and style. It was a movie where Hamlet's experiences in prison and in love were perfectly reflected, and where the audience could feel a part of Hamlet's life. And I am so glad to have watched it. It is so beautiful, but also so shocking. When Hamlet's closest friend has the chance to commit suicide, he decides not to. It is a painful choice that Hamlet has to make, and this film shows it in a way that doesn't make you feel pity for him. The film doesn't make Hamlet any more heroic, but instead shows how he is a tortured soul who has to make his best choices to survive, and what it means to be an outlaw. It is one of the most beautiful films I have seen, and one of the best adaptations of Shakespeare ever. It is wonderful and haunting, but not sentimental. It doesn't give us an emotional reaction to Hamlet, but instead shows us how he is tortured, and how he finds happiness in his actions. It is one of the most beautiful films of all time, and I can't wait to see it again.

A tribute to a classic that can be enjoyed for many years to come. Like Hamlet, this film has been compared to the Richard Burton version. Personally I think Hamlet is superior. The score of this film is beautiful, and the performances from all of the cast are worthy of recognition. Miranda Richardson is as good as ever, and as usual, Clive Owen is the man in charge. However, my favourite performance is from Catherine Zeta Jones, who is absolutely amazing. The music is as good as the film, and they use it to good effect. Overall, I really enjoyed this film. It has many original parts and it is definitely worth watching.

I thought this was an amazing performance. Willem Dafoe is simply incredible. For this performance alone, I would give this performance a 10. I do not think I could have done this role better, and Dafoe has definitely become one of my favorites. On the other hand, the acting is just too wooden, but Dafoe is really good. See it.
