The decision to use the original dialogue in a modernised (but now dated) version of the play was ridiculous and arrogant. It sounds forced and totally out of synch with the acting and the lightweight cast cannot pull it off, except maybe Pete Postlethwaite.
I have no objection to Shakespeare being rehashed, like West Side Story, and I even preferred Gnomeo and Juliet to this. Much more.
