As probably everyone who has seen this movie knows, the scenes in the castle are the first thing that stands out. This film has some of the most stunning visuals ever captured on film. When you consider the superb staging, costumes, and overall production design, every…

I surprisingly loved this play, i don’t normally like Shakespearean plays :/
Jess lovedHamletHonestly so great. Read the play and then watched this film all in high school. Good times
Eitan Koppelman likedHamletThis is actually really good. Shakespeare continues to remain the best playwright of all time and he proves it in this. MacBeth, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet are all favorites of mine among the Shakespeare plays. I think it’s safe to say he’s a genius. 8/10

I kind of love this movie and I don’t know why. Kate Winslett kills it in this. Obviously, the writing was groundbreaking at the time. Branaugh’s direction and performance were very human. Idk if a movie like this requires a number score. It’s beautiful tho
Sophie likedHamletReading Shakespeare can be complicated & it's hard to picture some parts of the story. This movie is a good visual of the book. Although some scenes are hit or miss, the overall effect is of a potent story.
Christina likedHamletThe only thing I have to say is that the treatment of women during that period (the 16th century) was awful, and that Kenneth Branagh absolutely killed it with his performance

An amazing retelling. Actually made me so infatuated with Shakespeare. This is a lovely work of art and a beautiful homage. Just stunning and brilliant.
Elsie Astle likedHamletRead the book then watched this adaptation. I lived the movie but found some of the acting/scenes every funny as I feel Shakespeare would’ve wanted it.
nevan is "meh" onHamletpainfully long, poorly acted, and fails to ever entertain. the dedication and attention to the phenomenal play is here, but little else of substance
