Jazmyn D @RT28815047 Mar 26 I love Hailee in general but I can't feel as though she connects with the dialogue. In pivotal scenes it just feels like she's spitting out the lines and giving a few smiles but I dont believe her. Im already trying to follow along with the added dialogue... The guy who plays Romeo doesn't connect with me either. Im disappointed but not overly surprised by this film. Costume and scenery are beautiful though.

Maybe this is not my type of vibe for a movie, but even a blind man can see this movie is NOT it See more Brad T @Ilovemovies506 Dec 5 🙏💀bruh the story is great but HEAR ME OUT tybalt be looking good 😏😏😏😏 🥲I did cry tho because this is a great movie and I love the lesson it gives us.

Some of the language is updated to make it more accessible for students, while leaving the significant soliloquies in their original words. The music is both charming and haunting, matching the scene's context. For teachers, the lack of nudity is incredibly helpful for classroom use. Students prefer this version to Franco's masterpiece. The star imagery hidden in plain sight adds nuance to the scenes.

First off the acting is just ok. The two leads just don't have much chemistry, it feels like there delivering their lines in a modern way and not in the classical style needed for something like this. they also jsut don't have that much chemistry either. Booth as Romeo is so forgettable it's not funny. He has no charisma at all. Compare that to someone like DiCaprio from 96' who had so much charisma, energy, and understanding of what he was saying. This just feels like their reading the lines. Not feeling them but heck who am I to judge, I find the plays words flowerly myself. Giamatti & Lewis are decent and probably the best things in this. Especailly Giamatti. The music..isn't bad but it can be very forgettable, blending in, and just doesn't really do much. Sometimes it works but most of the time it's just there. The cinematography which has a few nice shots here and there is jsut alright too. Since the acting isn't anything special you'd expect there is something to make up for it visually with so much on location scenes. And...ehh...it's not terrible but the direction is so basic and uninspired lots of times. The editing isn't bad and this isn't incoherent or anything like it's edited like a Tony Scott film. But sometimes especially in the first half it cuts around a bit too much it feels like for no reason and it's a bit distracting. Again there is nothing broken here but everything is so medicore it just hums along the entire way. I struggle to find a reason beyond steinfeld being in this why people new to the bard or fans of his work would choose this over other adaptations. Skip This.
