Romeo + Juliet

MY ONLY LOVE SPRUNG FROM MY ONLY HATE.

In director Baz Luhrmann's contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

  • Emmett Frederick
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.

  • Rene Navarro
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
