I am going to bombard these people with garish campy visuals they’ll think they know what is going on. A bunch of idiot peasants crammed into the Globe theatre pretending like they can follow any of this dialogue but maybe they’ll see a boob, nothing has changed in 400+ years.

Well, it's definitely unique - I can't think of another Shakespeare adaptation that's more obsessed with making itself "hip" and "relevant" to the young'uns. It has the same excessive glitz-n-glamor style as Luhrmann's later "Moulin Rouge!", but it's not as effective here. Not a terrible movie, but hardly a rousing success.

This is a downright genius idea, shooting a Shakespearean classic in an LA Gangland setting while keeping the original text intact. Just for the gall to embark on such a project, Luhrmann deserves praise. Besides, it has a very strong soundtrack (I remember it defining the MTV clips that year) and he had some unreal scene designs and some perfect delivery. Perrineau and DiCaprio really deliver also; it is a difficult feat to pull so sometimes it loses momentum, but a nice experience overall.

The plus was a nice touch. Also, writing sword or whatever the fuck was on the side of the gun. I get that Luhrmann thinks we're all idiots and has to literally spell everything out for us, but then again, this is the dickhead who who did Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen), so you know, fuck that guy. Still, the 90s were great, huh?

This is how Shakespeare would've made R&J. Bullrush of stylish hyperemotion that elevates a story that is often dragged down by low energy tame renditions, to its true staggering emotive potential. Uniquely creative direction. Inspired use of story that mirrors perfectly this strange, passionate, dystopian, luminously catholic, Latino-Amero-Pacific themed setting. Baz fully leans into the extravagant overemotion of the script in all ways, and gives the lines the focus and respect they deserve.

I cannot fault it for being unoriginal. Although the translation of Shakespeare to modern times is not wholly successful, it does hold one's attention and there is no doubting Luhrmann's eye for visual flair. DiCaprio and Danes are pleasant if not slightly underwhelming, and as previously stated, often have scenes stolen out from under them by the capable supporting cast.

A generally amusing update and modernized amendment of the eponymous classic. It's neat that Luhrmann took the play's normal dialogue and matched it up with our corresponding surroundings and world of today. My only complaint is the fact that when Dicaprio's name is mentioned, tweens and women everywhere start to wet their panties and immediately watch it again only to soil themselves once more. At least now Dicaprio is getting good roles. Anyway, decent.

Modernising Shakespeare shouldn't be so hard to do. The themes of love, hate, rivalry, ill fortune, are as relevent now as they ever have been. But somehow, very few modernised versions really work for me. Often the dialogue seems ridiculous, or some other aspect has been mistreated. But this is a masterful work of stunning visuals, poignant music and above all, fantastic performances in the key roles. Magnificent.

Baz Luhrmann has an eye for lush visual composition, it has some amusing updates on the formula (i.e. the "sword" brand guns), much of the casting is solid (Harold Perrineau steals all his scenes), and it was written by Shakespeare. Not half bad.

The whole movie is one big gimmick. Visually it's pretty good but otherwise it just doesn't work. There's no reason to transport Shakespearean dialogue into a 20th century setting, especially when the lines are delivered way too quickly. Romeo and Juliet already has problems with believability and changing the setting just makes everything seem absurd.

This isn't artsy, this isn't clever. This is combining our modern world with the language of Shakespeare's and that's just stupid. They should have modernized the original dialogue; instead we get this garbage that does not make any sense when both worlds mix. Maybe the writers forgot to mention that everyone in Shakespeare's time had made a time machine, came to 1996, adapted to the world and started using guns as swords... ONLY THEY NEVER GRASPED HOW TO SPEAK CORRECTLY!

As a traditionalist, I wasn't so sure going in to this one. It was clever at times, although too over-the-top in others. The real problem, of course, is that modernizing one part (the background) without modernizing the other (the words) leads to a lot of awkwardness, and this romance is somewhat hidden by the garish trappings. Fav moment: the Post-Haste Delivery service.

Luhrmann's adaptation of Romeo + Juliet is a garish spectacle that distracts from the positives of the play and highlight how obnoxious the characters can be. The original dialogue is used, but only DiCaprio knows how to perform it; other cast members merely reciting it or obscured by fast cuts and flashy lights. I liked some of the stylistic choices, but I spent most of this film either bored or irritated. Part of this is the source material, a lot is the film; too much noise, too much RnB.

Rotten Tomatoes score is a 71%, BUT the Top Critics of RT gave it a 47%, possibly one of the oddest disparities in score. Instead of going full drama or full comedy, it goes down the middle. The odd and zany editing can be a bit headache inducing as well. My only praise is making a sword sound effect when people pulled out guns, that was mildly amusing.

Great visuals, best performance by Perrineau, interesting score, but a lack of chemistry between this R&J results in a mediocre overall performance. Then there's the bombastic "artistic explosion" that makes me feel the film just wants to incorporate too much: a bit of West Side Story, a bit of Jesus Christ Superstar, a bit of can-can, it's just too much of a spectacle. So much so that the two main characters feel like a side dish, which makes it hard to really get in touch with them.

The ostentatious, theatrical, melodramatic style helps the material gain a new lease of life, but the flaws with Romeo Juliet truly stem from the original source material being really boring. Shakespeare wrote way better material - this play is, although well-known, not much fun to look at or to appreciate, and once the haze of effects and art direction die down the movie has nothing new to offer about a play which never had much new to begin with.

This modern take on Shakespeare's classic love tragedy is sometimes too stylish for its own good and its got this distinguished 90s feel that seem outdated (Leo's Nick Carter hair for one thing, but mostly the hectic opening shootout). But you can't deny that it succeeds in being both original and accessible at the same time which is a rare thing.

This must have been one tough film to get funding for. A Shakespearean play literally turned into the script for the movie, set in modern times with a bunch of half unknown young actors, flashy artistic camera work and Brian Dennehy. Tho I have to say Mr Luhrman pulled it off well. This, along with Moulin rouge are the two good movies by the man IMO. Once he gets artistic, he makes movie magic. But once he strays from the path (eg Australia,) he only creates mediocrity. Stick to the art, please!

What this film does with Shakespeare is pretty crass. But putting aside its interpretive choices and merely focusing on the technical aspects, it comes across as poorly edited and noisy. Its tone, which juxtaposes goofiness with serious drama, robs the story of emotional power and, unfortunately, is typical of Luhrmann's style (see Moulin Rouge).

I like the actors, but this modern interpretation didn't work for me. It just came off a bit goofy and over-sentimental

Like all Luhrmann stuff, overblown, painful and oddly dull, however filled with sublime art direction. His most successful BY FAR though, just kinda wish I could cut all the grating dialogue and watch a pretty music video version of it.

I'm not very familiar with Romeo And Juliet, but I know the basics. For most of the movie I couldn't even get the just of what they were saying. I just couldn't keep up with the dialogue. That's one of the reasons I didn't like it, but that's kind of my fault I guess. The other is that it's a complete mess of a story. It's all over the place. It's also really dated and doesn't hold up that well. I guess I admire them for trying something different, but unfortunately it doesn't really work.

This movie didn't do anything for me. I tried but just couldn't get into it.

Baz Luhrmann doesn't really do subtlety.
