Very Cool!!!

Good concept, poorly executed.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I've never seen a movie like this and probably will never see one again. This whole thing is flashy and colorful and poetic at the same time. It's a very interesting take on perhaps the most famous love stories of all time.The acting in super good. Leo and Claire were young but their acting were very very good. Some of the supporting actors were too awesome to forget.The director did something unique with this story. Its brave and new and in the end gave us a movie which the audience will probably never forget watching. The way he merged modern time with this classic story is weird yet interesting.This is crazy and fun at the same time. Most of the viewers knows what is going to happen still will sit through this just because its very entertaining to watch.

The main problems with this movie is the directors style, which is generally a cringe worthy mix of something you would expect to find on MTV combined with a YouTube video where the editor had just discovered all of the effects. Just in the beginning scene alone, there's a scary number of consistent annoying zooms into close ups and the scene consistently interchanging between normal and slow motion. Instead of helping to progress the story, as any good film should, it instead gets in the way of the story, feeling as if the director was more worried about showing of his previously mentioned style and trying to be noticed instead of creating a good film adaptation of Shakespeare's work.The film then plummets to an even more more intolerable level as it reaches its first talking scene. Not only does the pacing of the film majorly slow but you realise that all the dialogue is written in old English. This makes some of the performances seem very flat because it is as if the actors don't actually know what they are talking about. Overall, this film isn't worried about its story but instead, it is constantly distracting you from it with the director trying to say "Look at me and my style". This makes the film very hard to sit through due to its cringe worthy style, weak performances and uneven pacing.

This was actually a pretty early attempt to modernize the classic "Romeo And Juliet" story by placing it in modern times. I admit that some of the movie does come off as being off key. It's kind of weird to see a version of RAJ that begins with gunfire and explosions, but don't worry. The film gets much better later. Anyway, it's really fascinating to see how 90s this movie is. I mean, it pretty much envisions everything that made the 90s what it was and seeing as how it's an update of a classic story, that makes sense. For the most part, it's certainly good.The original dialogue is kept, but there is one big change near the end. Juliet actually briefly awakes and witnesses Romeo die. It's not that important, but it's still interesting to see something different with such a popular story. We're even told that the families have a rivalry that's implied to go back to the times of when the original story takes place. It even begins by showing us what happens at the very end. Seeing as how everyone knows how it ends, it's a very clever way of setting it up and it makes for a good movie. ***

Utterly ridiculous. The movie begins with at least 5 straight minutes of redundant, childish mocking between the two opposing houses. The language is not original, but some awkward mix between modern day and Shakespearean language, made even worse by the shirtless punks who use it. The contrast between the language and characters is laughable in most scenarios, with few exceptions. I could not even sit through a quarter of this movie, and had to turn it off. It was unbearable.
