I'll be the first to admit it, before I read the play Hamlet I used to be not too interested in Shakespeare. This is every bit of the masterpiece people claim it to be and for good reason. Hamlet is exciting,... Full review

The full text of Shakespeare's greatest play, in my opinion, is presented here amongst a Denmark during the first World War. Brannagh is the best screen Hamlet. Out-acting Olivier and Gielgud and everyone. Brannagh just brings so much truth to the... Full review

This is, by far, Kenneth Branagh's best work, this work is very visionary. The sets and costumes are very lavish. The cast is superb and well casted. Everything needed for a retelling of a Shakesperean play is present in this movie.... Full review

Branagh is fine throughout in a thoughtful, unstarry performance.....it takes Stoppard's wit and great acting to make anyone care.....he can repay what he owes to the man's thrifty wife demonstrates what a fine actor also can do with silence.....so the Donmar Warehouse's West End production benefits enormously from having the play re-imagined with the expertise and wisdom of playwright and Oscar-winning screenwriter) Tom Stoppard, who is 71..... ...

The bigness is also integral to the film's greatness.....Nobody complains about movie lengths more than critics.....My father has a better instinct for movies than most critics I know....For Branagh, the film's scale is simply a reflection of the scale of the story's passions..... ... Full Review

Branagh is better directing others than himself. Especially fine is Richard Briers, who brings a whimsical and sweet touch to Polonius. And Richard Attenborough wanders in looking lost, as though waylaid on his way to The Lost World set. ... Full Review

Branagh's splendid film is nothing less than a monument to the highest art of the Western canon. But these criticisms are no more than quibbles about this glorious film. Branagh gave away a great deal so as to build to that dramatic moment. ... Full Review
