#123movies #fmovies #putlocker #gomovies #solarmovie #soap2day Watch Full Movie Online Free – The classic story of Romeo and Juliet, set in a modern-day city of Verona Beach. The Montagues and Capulets are two feuding families, whose children meet and fall in love. They have to hide their love from the world because they know that their parents will not allow them to be together. There are obstacles on the way, like Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, and Romeo’s friend Mercutio, and many fights. But although it is set in modern times, it is still the same timeless story of the “star crossed lovers”.
Plot: 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.

Shakespeare Worthy
Very underrated modernization of the classic Shakespeare play. This movie has been pretty heavily criticized for the directors outlandishness in cinematography, but he understands when to tone down the often frantic pace of the storytelling during the dramatic scenes, and in fact this relationship tends to amplify their potency. Beautifully choreographed and shot, wonderfully acted by both the supporting cast and the main 2 stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, and extremely sly modernization techniques to the dialogue. All the elizabethan dialogue remains intact, yet it all seems coherent in the modern atmosphere. mostly due to good imagery and double meaning in the phrases (ex: their swords being a gun model, or the flash of money while quoting gold.). One of the best shakespeare adaptations in the multitude of which have entered the cinemas in the past few years.

Seriously?
I guess if you’re a high school drama teacher trying to get your 9th graders to take interest in Shakespeare, or help them understand Romeo + Juliet, I could see why someone might give this a high rating.

…If you like over the top, obvious, corny bits.

…If you can get past Olde English in a modern day setting.

…If mediocre or excessively obnoxious acting is your thing.

…If the idea of guns manufactured by a company named “Swords” makes it okay to actually refer to them as “swords” doesn’t make you roll your eyes at the sheer lack of creativity.

…If Claire Danes’ face wasn’t as irritating as her acting.

If you can get past how stupid, corny and horrible this adaptation is, it’s actually very good.
