1.0 out of 5 stars
If, like a crab, I could go backward,,
This review is from: Hamlet By Shakespeare [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I would rate this even lower than 1. It appears to be designed for middle or high school audiences. There are a few howlers in it. Did you know that "The Murder of Gonzago" was "an ancient Greek drama"? Hamlet's "Get thee to a nunnery" speech is delivered in a monotone, perhaps so it will be in sync with Ophelia's responding "Oh what a noble mind." If students are supposed to be "getting" the play from visuals & acting, I promise you: they won't.Teachers: save your $20. If your students are functioning at a level no higher than this 40 minute summary, it's just not time to try Shakespeare. The main conclusion they draw is likely to be, "Boring." It's a summary that takes all of the passion & deception & violence of Hamlet, & produces nothing more than a ho-hum.

Not the best Hamlet ever, but worth the rental price,

This was certainly not the best Hamlet I've ever seen. But I think it is worth checking out just to observe the natural difference in dramatic interpretation.
