Romeo & Julia Ratings & Reviews
- Derek Stevenson11 april 2026Great movie from childhood. Still good today!
- ApocMora16 februari 2026In general, I freaking hate the Romeo and Juliet story and consider it lame as hell. This take on it is fun, interesting, and honestly the presentation of the story I have enjoyed the most.
- deusarm26 januari 2026O wondrous spectacle! Here love doth blaze in gaudy splendour, and every glance is dagger-sharp yet my heart, the willing fool, cries ‘Encore!’ Five stars upon my ledger!
- tellum21 augusti 2025The King says “Bring Me My Longsword Ho”, and reaches for a machine gun named Longsword.
- Terry Phan29 september 2025You already know it: GCSE. You might’ve watched or heard this movie, you might’ve not. However this is a great starting point leading up to the Romeo & Juliet exams for GCSE. This is an obviously heavily modernised version of the play but still nevertheless very good.
- ርልዪረ31 januari 2025🫶 For students needing to study the text for GCSE or A Level, it is a magnificent take on the story, characters and language. Yes you have to remind the children that in Shakespeare's 1590s setting in Verona in Italy they did not have machine guns, cars and LA bling. But the story, the characters, the language is easy to study especially with English sub-titles. They are exposed to the text which is the point of making them study classic literature. As a movie version of a Shakespeare play it is superb. Teenagers really enjoy watching the young stars acting out this story. Magnificent direction. Yes the most studious will voluntarily read and re-read the text. Yes they need to do this to excel. But many teenagers these days are not naturally comfortable with newspapers and plays in their hands. Put it on smartphone or tablet and they will read 'War and Peace' at one sitting. Especially if you throw in some pictures. It was a play written to be performed not read. The themes, story, were meant to be king. Not the technology of the day (horses not cars, daggers not machine guns). A great gift for a teenage relative especially if they have to study this for exams. Do remind them it has sub-titles in English. If I had to compare it to say a really worthy version of Hamlet by Mel Gibson when he was super hot after Lethal Weapon, well great actor as he is and great Shakespearian actor as well, and with such a great director and supporting cast, well it was boring and a trial to watch. If they had put in a motorbike chase then it would have had some excitement as this Romeo and Juliet version certainly does. Shakespeare in original language and 1590s setting works well on the stage but not the screen. Update the language, keeping the story or update the setting as this version of Romeo and Juliet does.
- mickerdoo27 december 2025The setting, set design and stylistic choices make this timeless story shine differently. Leo is enthralling. Phenomenal casting all around.
- Chelsea C. Staples15 december 2025What makes this film brilliant is the 90's soundtrack, with a modern feel and not messing with the script of such a classic play. Also the Chemistry between Leo Dicaprio and Claire Danes is captivating. Also The creativity; even with the costumes is great.
- Jewels5 februari 2025Very stylised adaptation and IMO a great movie. One of my all-time picks!
