Download Free Romeo + Juliet

This movie just p*ssed me off. I can understand trying to make a
modernized version of Romeo and Juliet but why on earth would you keep
the dialog the same? Some people may say this is artistic and staying
true to the original play but in my opinion it just seems to clash with
the modern setting. That brings me to another point, plot holes. Yes
it's one of the most amazing plays of all time, supposedly, but that
doesn't mean there aren't plot holes. While it's hard to find them in
the original play, they're easy to locate in this version. For example,
Friar Lawrence sends a UPS Priority Mail Package to Romeo out in the
desert. Not only could he have tried to call Romeo, seeing as how
nearly everyone in America had phones, but he sends the Package
containing the letter possibly hours after Juliet has taken the potion.
Even with Priority Mail, the package would have taken a while to get
there.

Then there are the characters. Listening to the actors I noticed
something. Every single line seemed forced. It didn't flow fluently and
half the time they just rush their lines as though they're just trying
to get it over with. Why? Because Baz Luhrman decided that it would be
a fantastic and wacky idea to keep the original dialog intact. I swear,
I hope this guy dies like Steve Irwin.

The audio for this movie was phenomenal, especially the chase scene at
the end. That's the only good thing i can think to say about this film.
The amount of time put into some scenes is just agonizing. We get to
see Juliet dancing with Paris but we never hear any dialog from Romeo.
This scene seems to last forever if only because nothing happens. If
they just edited it out nothing in the movie would have changed.

If you ever need to see an awesome film from the 90s that has some
"Wacky" ideas, a good sound track, great acting and characters you'll
never forget, go pick up Pulp Fiction instead. This movie is definitely
not worthy of your viewing pleasure..

Looks Brill..

Classic story of Romeo and Juliet, set in a modern-day city of Verona Beach. The Montagues and Capulets are two feuding families, whose children meet and fall in love. They have to hide their love from the world because they know that their parents will not allow them to be together. There are obstacles on the way, like Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, and Romeo's friend Mercutio, and many fights. But although it is set in modern times, it is still the same timeless story of the "star crossed lovers"..

beautiful....

Nice movie.

A WONDERFUL RETELLING: We're studying Romeo and Juliet in my English Class. Personally, I didn't have high expectations when I was told I had to watch this movie in English class. However I watched at home before, and fell in love with it. :) Honestly, it's fantastic (and I'm not saying that because I'm a HUGE Leo DiCaprio fan). It was fresh, it was up beat, and in many ways a lot easier to get the gist of the story. Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio are amazing, and you can never go wrong with the ALWAYS fantastic John Leguizamo. :) It's very different and edgy for toughs who want something different. I would tell anyone to watch this movie. :) It's amazing. .

It wasn't that I hated this film but it certainly didn't leave a
lasting impression on me. I don't understand what the purpose was of
modernizing this story, especially the way it was done. While certain
parts were mildly enjoyable and it was fascinating to see the early
magnificense of Danes and Decaprio the movie made no lasting impression
on me and some parts just-well they just didn't work.

It would be difficult for me to say exactly what didn't do it for me
but I guess it just seems odd updating the story in this way. Great
casting, great performances-but the movie left me flat.

I am not sure "updating" this movie was a GREAT idea. It was just a tee
bit to modernized and though well intentioned was just off a bit. It
didn't work quite like it should have. After the movie's done it's just
sort of like your left with the feeling "what was the point".
