Romeo + Juliet (1996)


A drama directed by Baz Luhrmann, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Daines and John Leguizamo.
A boy and a girl from feuding families fall in love. The boy's friends save him and try to help the 2, but something goes wrong.
This is a very modern adaptation of the old Shakespeare play. The characters and plot are good, but I found the presentation lacking. The modern world does not seem to mix well with Shakespeare. They stayed pretty true to the original script, but I suspect that some things were changed. I'm rating this adequate because the source material was good, but it was over-produced.
