there really not much need to begin this little review with a plot synopsis . i mean it shakespeare hamlet for goodness sake probably one of the best known play ever write . i be not embarrass to admit that i come to this version of hamlet the way most people on imdb have through mystery science theater 3000. while the show may not be the best venue to use to judge a movie and in this case i can not imagine attempt to watch it without the comedic quip . in a word and this german and make for tv version of hamlet be dreary . 152 minute . no way . it too dark and depress to be anything i want to spend almost three hour on . i have say it any number of time and but entertainment be the thing for me . and this wrist slitter be far from entertain . i will and however and give it a couple of point for what i felt be some reasonably good acting . a negative sound about right to me . as much a i enjoy mst3k and their comment do not help to make hamlet any more palatable . there be a few good riff here and there and but overall and hamlet be just the wrong movie for mst3k . shakespeare be far too talky to allow the comedy to have any sort of rhythm or flow . as much a it pain me and i have get to give hamlet a 1/5 on my mst3k rating scale .
