  • For those who like to shit on Branagh, look at the performances of other "greats". You realize how good Branagh actually is.

  • @PMatt3D Burton was a wooden film actor, and a talentless overacting ham who just copied Olivier.

  • Yes, Burton was a great actor. This film can give some idea of the beauty of his voice, and the intelligence of his ground-breaking interpretation of Hamlet. What we cannot see is his amazing stage presence. I saw him play Hamlet at the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto. He controlled that huge stage like no actor I have ever seen.

  • If people say Richard Burton wasnt great, they dont know what true acting is. They dont understand the stage presence he had. Also a characther such as Hamlet goes through shear agony understanding what is true and what isnt - considering even to end his life. Therefore the melodrama definatly suits this scene as it is a cry of emotion just as what lies within Hamlets mind.

  • @simpsonmark Don't bother with "RichardElden." He's a reknowned troll who posts and reposts the same goofy hate-bile all over YouTube. His various accounts have been deleted by YouTube. I think he may be a remarkably sinister 12-year old; a bit like Stewie Griffin with internet access.

  • wow!!! I love this version

  • @RichardElden I don't care.

  • @RichardElden No.

  • Underated actor??? Everyone knows he was the best.
