Branagh's Hamlet

Our family has been reading and really, studying Shakespeare over the last few years. We have read Hamlet several times and seen several versions of Hamlet. Kenneth Branagh's is absolutely marvelous. The filming is wonderful and sumptuous. The sets and places they filmed are like poetry for the eyes. During the filming, they even got a snow storm which fit in with what they were doing. The actors are all wonderful. Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet is excellent and Kate Winslet as Ophelia is marvelous. This is the only Hamlet film that has the entire play. The only fault I find is the scene where Hamlet is seeking his father's ghost and is in some wooded place. To me, that part seems bizarre and created more to interest young people who are unable to be attracted to mere dialog, even if from Shakespeare. The DVD of Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet is a steal at any price.

Superb adaptation of Hamlet

Kenneth Branagh has done a remarkable job with this version of Hamlet. The scenery and costumes are dazzling, the performances remarkable, and the play itself is fully intact--no odd cuts or editing here. And because of this, the film is four hours long.

If you have the means, I suggest adding this to your Shakespeare library. Of all the Shakespeare films I have seen, this is my favorite.

finally, usable Hamlet!

The most powerful rendition of our beloved Hamlet and the most usable format for the classroom! Teaching three different classes and being able to cue up to the spot we left off sets the most organized tone! Anyone need copies of VHS versions?

Best Hamlet yet.

Of all the film versions of this Prince of Plays, and I've seen them all (the talkies anyway), this has to be the best.
Although full length, I think uniquely, this is at no time apparent. Even the star cameos are done well. Faultless.
