If you have read William Shakespear's "Hamlet", you do know that it is something your average person would not understand at all. In Kenneth Branagh's brilliant adaption of the famous tale, he makes it understandable for each and every viewer. Despite every actor using the Shakespearian language, viewers will still be able to know what each character is saying and feeling.
One of the many strong points of the film is the acting. Kenneth Branagh delivers a powerful performance as "Hamlet" himself. He displays all the emotions of the character wonderfully. Everybody else are simply amazing. There's not much to say about them, for they all are that one word... amazing.
Hamlet is an exquisite film. It may run a little long, but believe me, it truly is worth sitting through. Kenneth Branagh is not only a great actor, but a great film maker as well.
Running Time: 4 hours 2 minutes
Grade: 10/10
