	William Shakespeare Hamlet (1990)
		Elsinore opens the film and remains an overbearing presence as the last place that Hamlet can call home.

		Under that filter, it is difficult to see why Hamlet would have deep feelings for his mother.

	Syracuse New Times: Film Review
		Hitchcock filmed for about a month with an $800,000 budget, employing the same behind-the-camera personnel and the MCA/Revue backlot where he made his long-running TV anthology series Alfred Hitchcock Presents--then watched as his self-described "black comedy" grossed an outstanding-for-its-era $11 million to become the director's biggest financial success in feature films.
		Danny Elfman's precise note-by-note reorchestrations of original composer Bernard Herrmann's all-string musical themes receives three tracks on the CD, although there's enough material in the film score--not to mention the fact that a typical CD can handle 70-plus minutes of music--that surely the record producers could have added more straight Herrmann to the mix.
		Still, Van Sant's excuse of reintroducing Psycho to a new generation is validated to an extent by theater companies who promise to perform Hamlet, then end up with some half-assed, Shakespeare-in-sneakers reinterpretation that takes audiences that much further away from the original's concept.

	Movie Review - Hamlet (2000) - eFilmCritic
		Hamlet brings everyone to a little screening room, and shows the film, which turns out to be anti-climactic and as sleep-inducing as everything else in the film.
		Hamlet’s friends almost seem inconsequential and even the great Steve Zahn is totally wasted as one of the doomed, and here essentially forgotten — Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
		Hamlet 2000 does include the duel (a little silly in modern times), but after a couple hits, Laertes just pulls out a gun and shoots him.

	Hamlet movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Hamlet is Shakespeare`s most enduring and discussed play, and numerous film versions have attempted to translate the dialogue and the ideas onto screen.
		Hamlet is a man who, in his youth, was a happy-go-lucky, jovial sort of man, and, now that he must mete out the revenge towards the new king, this man no longer exists, and when Gibson says this, I believed him.
		Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, is rather gloomy after the death of his father, and his mother`s hasty marriage to the former king`s brother.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Hamlet (1990)
		One of the most interesting things about Hamlet, in terms of its style, is how active it is. Director Franco Zeffirelli isn't shy about having his characters move from one location to another as they converse, and even the famous soliloquies are far from static.
		The first featurette is "Hamlet: An Actor's Journey"; this eleven-minute piece is an interview with Mel Gibson in which he discusses his thoughts on the film and the making of the film.
		The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark is perhaps the most celebrated of all Shakespeare's plays, and for good reason: apart from its fascinating story of a young man fired with the desire for revenge, but torn by indecision, Hamlet is a showpiece for some of Shakespeare's most stunning writing.

	The Hamlet Site: Movie vs. Play
		Students often mention watching the film once to get the plot straight--to see what happens, meet the characters, figure out which are allied with Hamlet and which with Claudius and which others just get caught in the middle.
		By waiting, however, Hamlet does not seem to be a mere assassin or someone who is upset over having his throne stolen; instead, Hamlet kills someone who is responsible for the death of the queen and of Hamlet, himself.
		Although Hamlet never says that public knowledge of Claudius' misdeeds must precede his execution, that is actually what happens.

	The Hamlet Site: Film Versions
		Discussion of the 1948, 1990, and 1996 Hamlets is summarized from Sheena Gillespie, Terezinba Fonseca, and Carol A.
		The Readiness Is All: Presenting Hamlet as a young student, this film analyzes the psychological progression required to educate Hamlet to the ways of the world, thereby presenting themes about the nature of reality, evil, dissembling people, corruption of good intentions, death, and regalness.
		One blessing is that Hamlet, sitting in the box of the father confessor overhearing part of Claudius's "confession" makes clearer his desire for public knowledge of Claudius's assassination; another is that Branagh and Nicholas Farrell make clear that "the readiness is all" concerns Hamlet's readiness to die, if need be, for his mission.

		Mel Gibson's Hamlet from 1990 was an interesting journey for the superstar who proved there's more to film than 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Mad Max.' Other members of Branagh's production include Julie Christie, Kate Winslet, Jack Lemmon, Charlton Heston, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams.
		Hamlet's uncle Claudius portrayed by Derek Jacobi is a sharp and well meaning portrait of evil which Jacobi executes with acute brilliance and his character is just as compelling as any in the film.
		Jacobi has played Hamlet many times in his career and relates to the story very well in this film playing an opposite character.

		Sometimes the swift editing gets a bit much and the bizarre scene in Gertrude's bed chamber is totally wrong, but ultimately it is a respectable Hamlet film.
		Everyone thought he'd stink up the Dane royally, but his Hamlet is in fact very good and rather low-key.
		The ranting/raving type are a dime a dozen, but Mel internalizes more, playing to the camera instead of the back row as a stage actor might.

	Shakespeare on Film & Video: Books in the UC Berkeley Library
		Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' is ultimately disappointing because it excises most of the elements in the play that contribute to the character Hamlet's ambiguities, especially the political dimension that helps to explain his hesitation.
		Family romance is at core of Franco Zeffirelli's film adaptation of 'Hamlet.' This is evident in his casting of actors Mel Gibson and Glenn Close in the principal roles, his manipulation of space and landscape, his alteration of the text and his approach to editing.
		William Shakespeare' plays have been vehicles for films since the earlyhistory of the motion picture industry.

	Music under Soviet rule: Ustvolskaya
		In The New Shostakovich (1990), the present writer noted a motto link between Shostakovich's music for the 1964 film of Hamlet and his cantata The Execution of Stepan Razin, written in the same year:
		Both Stepan Razin and Hamlet feature these flagellating chords, cracked out with the help of the whip and woodblock introduced in the Thirteenth's third movement.
		Solzhenitsyn's description of the Writers' Union as 'a rabble of hucksters and moneychangers' voices the same vituperative disgust as Shostakovich's Hamlet and Stepan Razin.
