i think this be one of the weak of the kenneth branagh shakespearian work . after such great effort a much ado about nothing and etc . i think this be poor . the cast be weak ( alicia silverstone and nivoli and mcelhone . ) but my big gripe be that they mess with the bard work and cut out some of the play to put in the musical or dance sequence . you just do not do shakespeare and then mess with the play . sorry and but that be just wrong . i love some cole porter just like the next person and but jeez and do not mess with the shakespeare . skip this and watch prospero book if you want to see a brilliant shakespearean adaptation of the tempest .
