5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent movie...Great actors, Jun 21 2004

This review is from: NEW Romeo & Juliet (1968) (DVD) (DVD)

Watching this as part of a highschool assignment, the teacher only allowed us to watch about 15 minutes of it. When I saw it playing on cable, I sat down to finish it. This, I must say, is the best version of Romeo and Juliet. In the '68 version The actors are young and even though it was made in '68, you can relate to them in this day. The acting is superb, no one better could have been picked for the parts. It was a real tearjerker. Not to mention the soundtrack...the songs were just amazing to hear. Just watch the movie once, you'll fall in love with it.

This review is from: Romeo and Juliet (DVD)

This is one of my very most favorite films. They are the characters, no one else. It is perfect in every way. The costume, the acting, the sets, the casting, the music. I get thoroughy enthralled every time, and weep every time. I cannot say enough good things about this film. I am thoroughly in love with it. It's enchanting, enrapturing, rich and beautiful, honest, thrilling, inspiring, heartbreaking, eternal...

5.0 out of 5 stars A dead on performance of Romeo & Juliet, Nov 24 2007

By

Frances L. Arsenault "lover of literature" (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Romeo & Juliet 68 (VHS Tape)

I always love the works of Shakespeare, ever since I studied him in my High School English Classes; We were doing Romeo & Juliet in Grade 10, and we have watched this movie in class; and after that, I love this film of this beautiful play; I also would like to say that "Romeo & Juliet" is now one of my favorite plays from the immortal bard.

The performances are dead on, especially Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey as the two lovers themselves, and also John McEnry's turn as Mercutio (he makes him look like a REAL Froot Loop); and there's also the wonderful soundtrack,and as I said it many,many times, if there is one thing I love in film, is a very good soundtrack.
