    Extreme gore makes this 3 movie a 4.

    The play was already absolute garbage forcing the characters to make utterly illogical actions and evoke ridiculous emotions just so the irrational plot could keep moving. Somehow the movie emphasised this weakness, stew buckets of blood at the camera, and made the work even worse. Shakespeare at his worst and hollywood at its worst. What could be worse except maybe a similar remake of Merchant of Venice? Expand

  1. Makes the best possible argument for a cautionary drama that contemplates the absolute worst in us.
  2. There's something hideously pretentious about the whole thing.

    Once you get used to the broad gestures, visual stylings and reach-for-the-sky emotions, you may find yourself luxuriating in this movie's undeniable grandeur.
