Romeo and Juliet - dazzling spectacular
This is one of the most colourful, dazzling, high voltage films I have ever seen. The soundtrack is amazing, and the modern setting of this Shakesperian classic is a piece of genius by director Baz Luhrman. The fight scenes between Montagues and Capulets must be seen. Tybalt and Mercutio are played superbly and steal the show from Dicaprio and Danes, whose performances are sometimes lacking. Dicaprios delivery of the balcony speech is particulary poor and Danes often seems reluctant during love scenes. However, these discrepencies cannot spoil this dramatic and high octane retelling of the greatest love story ever told. Terrific work and vision from Baz Luhrman who should have won an Oscar for such innovative and daring work.As one critic put it, this film is 'Shakespere for the Tarintino generation'.
