@smileyface1510 Yeah well it's going to be slightly hard to understand because they talk in old English from Europe, and this movie is supposed to be for an older audience
I love this movie! The trailer is a little annoying, but the movie is a perfect cinematic version of the story, with a length that a person new to Shakespeare, or who doesn't want to watch an incredibly long movie, can thoroughly enjoy. The cast, settings, and costuming are impeccable. I think Mel G. played Hamlet very well, whatever his public shortcomings may be/have been. This is a beautiful film!
Arguably the worst version of "Hamlet" ever filmed. If you want to see "Hamlet" at its best, watch Kenneth Branagh's adaptation, the most professional in my opinion.
@TheAxelMan100 I just finish watching Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet and to me it is his greatest achievement to film. So I'm really skeptical to see this version.
@Hyman74Roth Mel Gibson was good, but no version captured Hamlet better than Kenneth did. He's had the most experience, so he knew exactly what he was doing. I'd say watch the Gibson film anyway, because it's interesting to see what the actors/directors can bring to the screen. There's also The Royal Shakespeare Company's version with David Tennant that was satisfactory (still can't beat Branagh), and I want to see Jude Law's Broadway portrayal.
Itsnt saying, " to live or to die" and to "to be or not to be" the same thing? because the to be or not to be speach is him contemplating suicide, is it not?
The version of Kenneth is good, but so pretentious...This version is better, Gibson was great playing Hamlet.

@TheAxelMan100 To be honest I thought the David Tennant version was rather boring for some reason.

@Hyman74Roth It was interesting and very well portrayed, but yes, it was the more anti-climatic of all versions I've seen
