Hamlet (2000)

Critic Reviews

• Jonathan Foreman, New York Post

  Intelligent, well-acted, all-American version of the Shakespeare tragedy.

• Stephen Holden, New York Times

  Although the movies haven't lacked for Hamlets recently, Ethan Hawke and Kenneth Branagh being the latest stars to have weighed in, Mr. Scott's is something that must be seen.

• Janet Branagan, Apollo Guide

  This version of the tale is far from being the first, last, best or worst. Shakespeare junkies should make their own decisions about pursuing this take, heeding advice from the man himself, 'to thine own self be true.'

• Rachel Gordon, Filmcritic.com

  This is one of the best Shakespeare adaptations ever filmed.
