1.0 out of 5 stars Prepare to be disappointed, July 7 2002

This review is from: Shakespeare in Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you are a lover of Shakespeare, English and/or period movies, be prepared to be extremely disappointed with this movie. If you really want to own a DVD or video of this movie, rent it first. If you like Judi Dench, you may want to buy it for this reason alone, then you can scan the part where she is shown, otherwise this movie is not worth watching again or worse, owning. This is the first movie I've seen of Gwyneth Paltrow and I think this is the main reason why I could care less if I see another movie with her on the cast. Paltrow is dry and artificial. This movie is so ridiculous, it is almost insulting. Not even Judi Dench's magnificent performance (as always) could save it.

This review is from: Shakespeare in Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm still wondering the whole point of the movie to this very day. I mean, I get the whole "Shakespeare has some sorta 'writers' block' thing, and that this chick dresses up as a man to be in a play of his ...and they end up making steamy passionate love one nite...but damn! This movie was nominated for an Oscar...BR>...

This review is from: Shakespeare in Love (Collector's Series) (DVD)

This movie won Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan? Who was doing the judging and how much were they paid? I tried watching this movie but literally had to turn it off after 30 minutes. Truly unwatchable in my opinion. What tripe.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Definiion of Barebones
This is not a review of the film which harvested 7 Academy Awards but of this blu-ray release. It is the worst I have so far. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Blu-ray ever
This Alliance version is probably one of the worst releases ever! First, there is no menu and no subtitles. Read more
