Terrible movie for a terrible play. The play was already horrible, but this movie highlighted why the play was so bad in the first place. Shakespeare gave up on the play and Helen Mirren definitely did this movie only for the money.

Usually I enjoy the intricate plays of Shakespeare, but this one is horrendous from its stale plot to the dry characters. Unlike Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Othello or any of his other plays, I don't feel any connection or care for any of the characters. I understand the context and meaning behind the text, but to quote T S Eliot, Shakespeare's final play ends 'not with a bang but with a whimper'. Would rate it 0 if I could.
