Lady G @Ladygaga00 Apr 13 Directed by Baz Luhrmann. The main actors are Leonardo DiCaprio for Romeo and Claire Danes for Juliet. The film tells the story of two young people in love. It talks about love, family problèm and a tragic story. The action takes place in a modern city. The story seem simple but at the same time very moving and tragic. The special effects are very simple but seem real. The acting is very good and believable. I find this film absolutely moving and very very sad, it always makes me cry. I recommended this film to everyone who likes romantic and tragic stories. If you had not seen it yet, you do not know what you are missing, go watch it after this reading. See more Lee F @LPF25 Apr 10 Luhrmann's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is a bold fever dream that transplants the Shakespearean tragedy into a modern Verona beach of guns, gangsters, and 90s pop. It is undoubtedly stylish, energetic, surprisingly faithful to the original text, while still feeling completely out of its time. The movie is fun, flashy, and emotionally charged. That being said, the pacing sometimes feels rushed, especially once the lovers are separated, that makes me want a bit more of the slow-burning complexity that makes Romeo and Juliet's love seem truly doomed rather than tragically timed.

I mean, basically, I'm the wrong person to ask- I don't really like Shakespeare? This was ok.

Meanwhile Juliet is like, "Sure, random balcony man, let’s secretly get married." This entire romance moves faster than instant noodles. But honestly, none of that matters, because the real star of the movie is the completely unexplained **Jake Paul in the fish tank**. In the background of several scenes there’s just a giant aquarium, inside Jake Paul is wearing boxing gloves and sunglasses, silently shadowboxing. Every time the characters start having dramatic conversations about love and fate, Jake Paul drifts past the glass and throws a slow-motion punch at a plastic castle. In conclusion, *Romeo and Juliet* is a chaotic love story full of bad choices, While Jake Paul is doing aquatic boxing in the background like a motivational fish.

See more Danilo H @Romeo_and_juliet_sucks Feb 5 Romeo is fucking stupid. He has the eyesight of a wild mongoose. I wish that romeo wasn't this stupid, for the rest it's pretty good See more Read all reviews
