I adore the story of Romeo and Juliet and i have been a big fan of Shakespeare since i was young. I love love love the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet. I wanted to give this one a shot and i couldn't last 5 minutes. I had to turn it off. It's set in the modern day but they recite old English. It was terrible and it definitely doesn't have any of the beauty and chemistry that the original film had. I will never watch this version again. Such disrespect to the great Bard!
