The Shakespearean tragedy, "Hamlet", written by William Shakespeare and adapted by Kenneth Branagh was quite an interesting movie. Hamlet must get revenge for his father who appears to him as a ghost. Hamlet must go through many struggles in order to fulfill this task. The film delves into the question the Shakespeare incorporated into the play. That question is the meaning of life. It makes you really think about the topic just like Hamlet did. With all this being said, I am glad to say that it stayed quite true to the actual text. The film also did a great job keeping my attention the whole way through; which, is an amazing feat with how the long the movie plays on for. A few gripes that I do have are that some parts of the movie seemed rushed and did not last as long as in the book. This also applies for the opposite. Some scenes played on for a long time while in the text it lasted for a less amount of time. The last complaint that I have is that the ending was a little to dramatized. It was already dramatic in the text, but in the movie they made it a little to dramatic with the fight scene. Overall, I think that this movie is a must watch and that it is a great movie.

The movie Hamlet, A Shakespearean tragedy adapted to the movie format, directed by Kenneth Branagh, is an attempt on taking this classic play to theatres. The movie overall, doesn't fit the original idea of the play, the changes to the time period and some of the scenes were longer and shorter than the story. The acting was what was carrying the movie, all of the lines were well delivered and emotion put behind the lines that needed it. The only bad part is some scenes in the movie can't be conveyed as easily on the screen as they were in the book. Overall, with the acting skills but time period changes it makes it hard to follow sometimes, the movie gets a 5/10.
