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.

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

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
