This film is basically Joss Whedon and his friends having fun. Chocked full of performers from Whedon's previous films, such as Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Clark Gregg, and Nathan Fillion, there are certainly a lot of likable actors to draw non-Shakespearean audiences. Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker provide fabulous performances as the leads. The editing of Shakespeare's work provides a clear story while maintaining the spirit and poetry of the play. If you are a fan of Whedon and his band of actors, and do not totally hate Shakespeare, then this is a film you will want to see.

I really enjoyed this movie, especially because it is using the actual words from the original play. This movie can be great for people that have never seen a Shakespeare movie, and want to be introduced or people that have seen them all. This movie is also at a great price, for both Blu-ray and digital copy!

Joss Whedon shot this film in secret, and it's an amazing modern version of the classic story. Much like Baz Luhrmann's take on Romeo and Juliet, the film takes place in a modern setting with old English dialogue. Don't let the black and white fool you, as this is a title worth owning.

The blu-ray: The sound and picture are great. It's a gorgeous set very simple. The plot: For fans of Joss, you will enjoy this. It has his signature style and is very thought-provoking, yet direct. Plus you can't go wrong when you are using Shakespeare as a basis.

A beautifully realized, well-acted adaptation of Shakespeare's classic. A loose, free-wheeling approach by Joss Whedon and the actors lends a unique vibe to the proceedings. It's well worth adding this one to your collection.
