MCT:September 17, 2008I didn't like this director's take on Shakespeare's famous play. I saw this play two years ago outside at a beautiful park and it was much better than this crap. What was version it all about? Sex. There was really no other point. At least the version I saw on stage was humorous. This version was just sexual exploitation of actors in showy costumes and sometimes, no costumes at all.

MCT:September 2, 2008Re-rated: They shouldnt have used William Shakespeares name on the US title if they altered the story, even if it was just a minor adjustment. Im not quite sure how to rate this really, this is my most favorite play from Shakespeare, and Im not sure if its cuz I know the characters from front to back with my eyes closed or if its the overall production (very untraditional) thats gotten me all unhinged with this version...
Clearly, I love the story, but my quandry is with some of the major cast members and their acting of the characters theyve played. This film showed a lot of each of the actors ability (at that time) to capture a role and portray them well.
- Although Stanley Tucci acted puck pretty well, I cant wrap my head that he looks older than Oberon.
- Rupert Everett sort of played a pretty shoddy role of Oberon.
- Wasnt contented with Anna Friels acting as Hermia.. I wonder if she actually knew her role?
- Dominic West - Couldve done a better job playing Lysander..
Good Points: Kevin Kline did a particularly awesome job with Bottom, and Pfeiffer understood who Titana really is and portayed the role really, really well. Flockhart proved that she can really act, did a great job in playing Helena! Sam Rockwell - I am most impressed with his acting, he gave us a glance that he can deliver different emotions ferverently, I feel that he is quite underrated by most, I love this guy!
The film gets a good bump up from a 3 star rating due to the ending. But Halmark, this couldve been better. -

Entertaining enough. I mean, its Shakespeare! But Im just not satisfied with Dimitrius and Helena's love, knowing its not real. But Christian Bale should do some more romance. It was fun to watch someone chasing him.

MCT:July 23, 2008This is very mediocre Shakespeare and as much as I liked Rupert Everett in it, I would not recommend it.
-
MCT:May 8, 2008Another one of my favorite adaptions of one of my favorite plays. If you have read the play and then watch this movie you will understand my love for this version. The charecters and the magical sceanery that were playing in my imagination during the read are almost identically displayed in this movie.
-
MCT:March 24, 2008A great take on my favorite Shakespeare play. The entire cast is spot on, but Flockhart was one of the standouts.

It seems like I'm the only one liking this movie very much. But that could be because I like most of the actors starring in it... Kevin Kline is so funny and Stanley Tucci's perfect as the little mischief-maker Puck, the best charcter of this work. I laughed like crazy at him and all the other absurd events following each other through the movie.

Decent enough adaptation of Shakespeare. I like this play and the casting was great, and overall, pretty good.
-
MCT:January 25, 2008
A highly enjoyable Shakespeare adaption that has a little something for everyone. And it's actually funny!
-
MCT:January 17, 2008
A nice adaptation, probably the best one out there for this play. Everyone is fantastic. Kevin Kline is wonderful as usual and Rupert Everett plays a convincing straight man (even though he' King of the Fairies).

Personally, I really like William Shakespeare, this was one of my favorites that he made, I found it to be quite entertaining with some exciting parts.
-
MCT:December 22, 2007
Way too visually gorgeous for its own good, though how can one go wrong with one of Shakespeare's most enjoyable plays?
-
MCT:December 20, 2007
Very cute, Michelle Pfeiffer as the Queen and Rupert Everett as Oberon are fun to watch sparring partners. B.F.D. if it's not a killer "Bard-ic"

Weak, uninteresting performances and uninspired direction make this film a big disappointment. It is, however, based on one of Shakespeare's most entertaining plays, so it's only a minor failure. Definitely not recommended.

Kevin Kline and Stanley Tucci are bery good in this but ultimately it's just not one of Shakespeare's best plays in my opinion.

Lysander: Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! Vile thing, let loose
Or I will shake thee from me like a serpent!
(People in my 8th grade English class--remember we had so much fun with this?)
