	Hamlet (2000) review by Jacinda
		Kenneth Branagh’s movie failed in transferring Hamlet to the Victorian age and the sheer length of the unabridget adaptation was too much to take.
		Hamlet doubts his father died in a natural way and as he starts looking for revenge a catastrophe is happening.
		I liked the movie in many ways but it didn’t work perfectly for me. The main flaw of the movie is the fact that some scenes don’t transfer to the newly created circumstances that well.

	Hamlet: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Hamlet (Ethan Hawke) is troubled by the recent marriage of his mother Gertrude (Diane Venora) to Claudius (Kyle MacLachlan), brother of his recently deceased father.
		Furthermore, a subsequent scene shows Hamlet walking down the aisles of a "Blockbuster" while his voice-over continues "...to die, to sleep, a chance to dream..." This scene portrays the filmic medium (the endless rows of movies) as a powerful, modern weapon for the annihilation of the self.
		Consequently, Hamlet's focus shifts from character --his tragic sense of loss, contempt, love and fear-- to the representations of the character's tragic sense of loss, contempt, etc.; from the metaphysical to the physical representations of a world which incubates his tragedies.

		This vexes his nephew Hamlet (Ethan Hawke), who is understandably pissed at the fact that his mother Gertrude (Diane Venora) has married her own brother-in-law not two months after the death of her husband (Sam Shepard).
		Not only that, Hamlet suspects some foul goings-on in the air, a feeling which is confirmed by the ghost of his late father, who relates a horrible tale of familial murder.
		The scene where Hamlet debates whether or not to kill Claudius while he's in confession is restaged to admirable effect in a limousine.

	Hamlet (2000)
		Ethan Hawke stars as Hamlet, and he plays him as though he were the ultimate slacker.
		Hamlet, at a running time of just under two hours, is an exceptionally truncated version of Shakespeare's most accessible play.
		Hamlet is a character that doesn't know what to do with his life, and that stress is compounded by the fact that his father was murdered (and whose ghost is now haunting him).

	Welcome to CampusNut.com -- Movie Reviews
		I explained to my friend how this movie was so wrong in any logical reading of the play, but he told me to shut up cuz he hadn't read the play in about ten years and he liked the movie just fine.
		Hamlet, a film student at the University of Wittenberg, is visiting New York to see his mother and visit his girlfriend, Ophelia (Julia Stiles).
		So, Hamlet has the burden of avenging his father's murder, but he's not sure if the ghost is telling the truth so he rents about twenty videos from Blockbuster and extracts clips to piece together an avant-garde film designed to trick Claudius into revealing his own guilt.

	Hamlet (2000): Reviews
		Hamlet has audacity, intelligence, a provocative visual and musical style, virtually no poetry, a garbled story line weakened by savage cutting of the play, and a great yawning hole where a Hamlet ought to be.
		Hamlet is one of my favorite plays in general, and any movie that does not do it justice angers me. This movie did not do so.
		Overall, this is a very solid movie, although the fencing at the end worked but seemed slightly out of place (didn't seem as creatively reworked as everything else); I wish Fortinbras had been brought in more, and it seemed the director tried a bit too hard to make as high tech as possible.

	Movie Review - Hamlet (2000) - eFilmCritic
		William Shakespeare's 400-plus-year-old HAMLET is one of the most performed texts of all time.
		Hamlet (Ethan Hawke) is the heir to the Denmark Corporation, now run by sleek Uncle Claudius (Kyle MacLachlan) since the untimely death of Hamlet's much-mourned father (Sam Shepard).

	A Movie Parable: Hamlet (2000)
		Set in the year 2000, yet retaining much of the Elizabethan language of the original script (severely condensed to a running time of just under 2 hours), this interpretation manages to squander an interesting premise and a talented cast.
		Instead of King of Denmark, Hamlet's father was the CEO of the Denmark Corporation.
		The speed of the marriage disturbs Hamlet but not nearly so much as the idea that his uncle/stepfather may have had something to do with his father's death.

		His son, Hamlet, is depressed and angry about these turns of events and broods in his hotel room at the Elsinore Hotel, endlessly watching the videotape he makes when he ventures forth.
		The nightwatchman at the hotel comes to Hamlet with a report of the ghost of Hamlet's father seen wandering the halls at night.

		This movie may be true to the story of Hamlet in itself, however in itself is quite tedious.
		Of course the movie may not have as much depth as the play, but it has to be the most skillful modern adaptation of a Shakespeare play I have ever seen.
		Hamlet's scene in Gertrude's bedroom, for example, works, but the fencing scene at the end does not, because it is difficult to imagine anyone settling a bet in this century in this fashion.

	Thesis on Values of Hamlet in comparison to Hamlet movie (2000)
		I have chosen to compare this play to Michael Almereyda's film made in 2000 that is a modern interpretation of the original text and was an attempt to do to Hamlet what Baz Luhrman did to Romeo and Juliet.
		This a brief synopsis of the play; Hamlet is the son of King Hamlet who died before the play begins.
		Frankenstein was produced at the height of the Gothic and Romantic period and as such the value of the text lies most significantly in its reflection of the period.

	Hamlet
		Shakespeare's Hamlet is a four hundred year old classic that plumbs emotional depths of human experience with drama and poetry of such enduring and universal appeal that every generation feels called upon to reinvent it.
		On the other hand, Hamlet's scene with the Ghost of his slain father, without gimmicks to muck it up, is grippingly played and deeply involving.
		In a later scene, Hamlet speaks in voiceover ("a father killed, a mother stained...") while walking down the aisle of a plane, reaching his moment of resolution while peering into a mirror in the rest room - and it works.

	Movie Review - Hamlet (2000) - eFilmCritic
		Hamlet, done to perfection by Olivier and Branagh, and the popular Mel Gibson-Zeffirelli treatment, was of course due for its Gen-X and 21st century overhaul and who better to play the tortured soul than Reality Bites Before Sunrise Falls On Cedars star Ethan Hawke.
		Writer/Director Michael Almereyda, previously known for modernized vampire and witchcraft films and a movie about a family trapped in a Kansas farmhouse during a storm (none of which I've had the luxury to view), employs some great visuals in his update of the Bard.
		Hamlet takes you inside a world seen in other films like the horrible Bonfire of the Vanities and Whit Stillman's Metropolitan.

		Of course, when the ghost of Hamlet's dad comes to visit him with some more news regarding his untimely demise, it isn't long before everybody and their uncle begin to suspect Hamlet of going mad.
		Having read Hamlet fairly recently as a school project, I think they did a good job of keeping the spirit of the play and melding it with the modern setting.
		If I watch a period movie I can slip into that period; however slipping a period tale into present day and using period language means we must jump around too much.

		I would never have guessed Hamlet would be matched to a modern New York setting, but that sort of surprising match of contradictory elements can sometimes be the source of delectable film goodness.

		Hamlet is one of my favorite plays - I've seen it performed in New York and London, in various guises, worked on two adaptations of it in very small, dark, off-off-broadway theatres, and I've read just about every book of criticism or acting method or literary analysis there is about Hamlet.

	Hamlet (2000) Movie Review - MovieWeb
		HAMLET is a contemporary adaptation of the classic play set in New York City, circa 2000 -- a world of laptops and limousines.
		The most enjoyable scene is when Hamlet recites the âTo Be or Not to Beâ while he is walking up and down the aisles of a Blockbuster Video.
		The imagery of the enormity of the aisles and the sense of Hamlet lost within a world of escapism is haunting and strangely unnerving.

		This modernized Hamlet offers Ethan Hawke as a Gen X slacker who returns home from school after his father (the president of the Denmark Corp.) is killed and, well, you know the story.
		This Hamlet presents a portrait of a disenfranchised 20-something who spends more time playing with his camcorder than taking care of business.

		Hawke's Hamlet also makes artsy videos (of himself and others), which we see a lot of, and which I could've done with a little less of.
		Hamlet drives steadily and forcefully to its traditionally bloody conclusion, in which Hamlet and Laertes (Liev Schreiber gives a surprisingly imposing performance) duel it out; Almereyda manages to toss in a gun on top of the usual swords and poison.
		Before that, there's a nicely telescoped scene in which Hamlet, in lieu of having a band of players enact his guilt-inducing play, puts together his own video pastiche pointing a finger at the murderer of his father.

		The ghost asks Hamlet to revenge his "most foul, strange, and unnatural murder." Hamlet then deviously plots a psychological revenge by putting on a play in which a scene portrays the actual murder of his father.
		Hamlet is seen rather witty and boisterous in a scene, followed immediately by a scene where he is tormented and silent, which then turns to a third scene where he is again witty and loud.
		Glenn Close portrays Hamlet's mother and there are many 'incestuos' suggestions made throughgout the film, a very aggresive concept for a mainstream film.

		He made fun of it a bit, calling it my "Hallmark Hamlet." We all teased the innocent movie for a while and I tucked it away while we went on discussing King Lear.
		There is something very odd about this adaptation which I haven't found in any other Shakespeare movies: the acting is totally phony and yet paradoxically believable at the same time.
		The expressions on the actors faces along with the varying tones in their speech (except a dreadful Laertes) really spoonfeeds the viewer the material without dumbing down the language.
