Nunca antes na história do cinema uma ameba tinha batido 4 atrizes na disputa pelo Oscar.

After watching 'Saving Private Ryan', I thought an injustice had been done when I remembered that it didn't win Best Picture and 'Shakespeare' did. After watching this film, while I still think 'Ryan' was a bit better, I can respect the Academy's decision. This is a good film.

I haven't seen this film for like 10 years. Maybe I wouldn't like it so much now but I will always respect it because I hate biopics and this one is not that. Here they turned Shakespeare into a character of something that looks just like something he would have written - silly and theatrical but witty.

The outer layer is quirky and funny, but deep down this movie is as romantic and fragile as the conception of the work it chronicles. Despite historical inaccuracies, it plays almost as theatre itself. Minimal locations, characters, elaborate costumes, and romantic banter. For an avid fan of Shakespeare's (or whoever it was) work, this was a very entertaining two hours.

I loved this movie intensely when I was 13. I suppose that says it all, really. But even though it's sentimental and silly, I still have a soft spot for it and like to revisit it once in a while. As far as fluff goes, you could do much worse than a comedy with a great cast and Tom Stoppard listed under the writing credits.

A fairly large disappointment, from the 93% on RottenTomatoes and the seven Oscars. Oh, well. It's still a funny and touching look at what behind the scenes of Romeo & Juliet could've been, but likely weren't. The acting's hammy on everyone but Judi Dench and Gwenyth Paltrow's parts, and the ending blows. So, it's an Oscar movie.

One of the greatest films ever.

This was not a good ploy to try and get the general population to enjoy Shakespeare.

The Shakespearean age seen through the empty skull of a Cosmo Girl. We are so indebted.

Certainly deserved some of the copious praise it received upon release. The script is quite good and the performances all around are believable and delightful. Deserves credit for bringing Shakespeare to the forefront of the country's consciousness again in a way that was palpable and easy going down.
