I loved this! I tend to like the stage versions of any Shakespeare play better than movie versions, but it's always challenging to find a professionally, effectively filmed version of the plays. What's great about the stage is the way that the actors play off the audience and that the characters are working in a fixed environment. This is what Shakespeare's language was intended for. Many movie adaptations are wonderful, but the language is always a bit in the extras of a film--the music, the visual effects, etc.

Both of the actors, being classically trained stage actors, know how to use their whole bodies to express the language, not simply their faces. This play is set in an updated, modern environment, but the language still works beautifully.

I keep looking for a good version of Romeo and Juliet to use in my English class. This is not it. I was told it was better than others, but that is not high praise. You would think that someone could make a really good versions one of these days.

I enjoyed this production, but some of the characters were horrible. I did not like the actor that played Mercutio! He was not believable, and his slimy demeanor took away from the play, rather than added to it. I mean, him opening up his pants to fight, and pumping another actor on the floor?, Really? He was not likable at all, and could not act, so he basically stuck to stupid mannerisms. Another actor that didn't work for me was Juilet's mom. Why was she such a sour pus the entire play? Serious-looking, never smiling, rock hard...she didn't do a good job either. The others were okay, but Bloom looked a bit distracted...It was a reasonably well attempt at a classic, and had sweet moments, but three stars is all I can give it.

It's awesome! All the actors were beyond amazing and expressed themselves eloquently in Shakespeare's language. The actors sort of put their own twist on their character. The music was bold and crisp in each scene.

The modern setting was effective to bring the ideas into a current time frame. The actors showed real feeling and yet keep the poetry of Shakespeare's lines, those that were direct from the play. They were very expressive. Orlando Bloom was very strong in this role showing us the romanticism and yet keeping the virility of the role.

I wanted to like it. I really did. Orlando Bloom seems to be trying a little bit too hard and the cuts irked me to no end. Props for the modern setting and the set design. Rest of the cast was pretty good. But I'll pass on adding it to my collection.

I really loved this production. I actually liked it more the second and third time around. I just rented this on instant watch and will be pre-ordering the DVD version to add to my Shakespeare collection!

I love it about time a interracial romeo and Julie was done. I'm a black woman who proudly dates white men and I'm glad when movies focus on it. The only downer they had to die. But alas great had I been Shakespeare and wrote it. They would have left town came back a year or so later and not seeing them would have given their parents time in their absences to see what idiots they were.
