not bad...ther was a skip at the end, it left out a chunk of the film. that sucked.
June 23, 2008As a Shakespeare purist, I consider this pure trash because the location is transferred from Athens, Greece, to Mount Athena, Italy, and the sensless insufferable nudity at the end. There is no need for a softporn Italian accent on this play. Having studied Shakespeare at length, I've learned that his rustics were actually modeled on British guildsmiths who tried to put on plays like Bottom, Flute, and the others did. Thus so, the play while borrowing from a Greek legend has some of its foundation in peasant Britain.

This is one of my favorite movies. The cast was stellar, the lighting and detals perfect and the actors clearly underrstand their roles and portray them well. Many of them had previous experience with the Bard (Kline and Flockheart certainly do) and bring that familiarity with them to this production. The only slight off note is that the director should have had Hippolyta wearing a uniform (she was the Queen of the Amazons, after all) because this would have helped the audiance understand the interaction between herself and Theseus- Hippolyta gives us Shakespeare's vision of the empowered modern woman- someone who has choices and does NOT have to get married if she does not want to. But other than this very slight quibble the movie is a pitch perfect presentation of Shakespeare's greatest comedy, one that uses film to bring out the full story in a way that cannot be done on the stage. This film is an absolute must buy.
April 27, 2008The movie was in great condition. It was new and unopened. Will defiantly buy from seller again.

A wonderful adaptation of a classic. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it just isn't one of my favorite plays...but still very well done.
