Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Loved itI should acknowledge, first of all, that this is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's plays; therefore, I'm inclined to be biased. Still, I loved this movie. In particular, I was delighted to see Ben Kingsley as Feste the Jester and was impressed that he could sing so well. I also really enjoyed the scenes wherein Olivia (Helena Bonham Carter) is being wooed by Viola (Imogen Stubbs) for the Duke (Toby Stephens). I liked the banter and the irony of the first scene in particular. Rating: - Splendid!Many people might be compelled to see this film after seeing Shakespeare in Love (Miramax Collector's Series). This is certainly not a bad thing, and there are in-fact allusions to 12th Night in SIL w/all the gender-switching that is goes on in both. Of course, you don't realize you're being "set up" until the end of SIL, but that's part of the fun! This is a very well-done Shakespeare on-screen production. While plays are all well & good, there is something to be said to seeing Shakespeare filmed outside, inside of castles & w/lavish sets. While some purists may not like it, I think it's good for his plays to be displayed thus. The acting in this film is top-notch. You can never go wrong w/Ben Kingsley, ...

This adaptation d-r-a-g-s. Shakespeare should be about the language and the action, not the setting and mise-en-scene, and I kept waiting for the actors to talk and the camera to turn from scenery to faces. Perhaps my expectations were overly high, since the cast and director come with excellent pedigree. Try the "Midsummer Night's Dream" with Kevin Kline and that skinny girl who played Ally McBeal -- it's a hoot! Rating: - great rendition of this playLove the way they did this one! One of my favorite Shakespeare plays. TE Rating: - Toby Stephens fanI have recently discovered the talent of Toby Stephens after seeing Jane Eyre. I wanted to see some of his early work and discovered this Shakespeare comedy. This was a very entertaining movie not to mention the other cast members of Ben Kingsley, Helena Bonham Carter, and Imogen Stubbs. I highly recommend this movie for it's comedy, music and yes a little drama too. I loved it. |
