   Is hamlet a good movie?

   • There are a number of reasons to recommend this rousing adaptation of Hamlet. The cast is superb, and as both director and actor, Kenneth Branagh shines. The actors don't simply recite lines; they discover the meaning of Shakespeare's words as they speak them. Shot in widescreen 70mm, the movie looks gorgeous.

   Is hamlet a full-length movie?

   • The first full-length movie version of Hamlet ever made (using the Second Quarto (1604) text with additions from the First Folio (1623) to create an idealized "complete" Hamlet). In the very long shot along the length of the throne room, the cameras are visible in the mirrors. Hamlet: To be or not to be, that is the question.

   Is hamlet better than Laurence Olivier?

   • Branagh's Hamlet lacks the narcissistic intensity of Laurence Olivier's (in the 1948 Academy Award winner), but the film as a whole is better, placing Hamlet in the larger context of royal politics, and making him less a subject for pity. The story provides a melodramatic stage for inner agonies.
