Is the Special Edition 5 minutes long? I can't stand that film. Even though it has WDC in it. If you were lucky they'd have sent you a decent film in the R&J box. . What do you hate about it? | |

What do you hate about it? Sorry if you like it. Partly it has bad associations, but mostly it's just so bloody badly acted, badly directed, the script is just bizarre at times, the ridiculous mix of old and new, using the old dialect in modern setting doesn't work in the slightest. It's hammy, and it messes with the actual story in several key ways, but just unnecessarily. And guns "representing" swords? Give me a break. And the balcony scene, why mess with that? And the cheesy fishtank scene, omg. To be honest, I could go on all night! | |

I'll have them for a Fiver!!! You need to a 20 in front of that! Sorry, but I need to try to get my money back. If I'd bought them for a fiver then you could have them for a fiver, not trying to make money just don't want to loose any. If no-one buys them on ebay then they'll be appearing on here. | |

I think the cheesy fish tank scene is a fine piece of cinematography. Not easy to film something like that. I'd much rather watch the Luhrmann interpretation than the Zefferelli one (which bored the arse off me at school I teach film/tv production and refer to it as an example of editing techniques. My uncle is an english teacher and likes it because it students who wouldn't otherwise be enthusiastic about Shakespeare are alot more receptive to this film. | |

People snapping them up as soon as released then making a small fortune on them. Bet there's loads of blocks 110 and 115 on ebay today as these were released yesterday. Just wish I'd waited another 1 1/2hrs before handing over my hard earned money. | |
