i have to compare two version of hamlet for my shakespeare class and unfortunately i pick this version . everything from the acting ( the actor deliver most of their line directly to the camera ) to the camera shot ( all medium or close up shot . no scenery shot and very little back ground in the shot ) be absolutely terrible . i watch this over my spring break and it be very safe to say that i feel that i be gyp out of 114 minute of my vacation . not recommend by any stretch of the imagination .
