I have not read the play of Shakespeare, so I was not familiar with the source material. However, I found the movie to be a very well made adaptation of the play. I enjoyed the musical numbers very much. I thought that the movie was better than the play. It was very well written and acted. The acting was very good, and I thought that all of the actors did a great job. The movie was very well done. It was not a film that I would watch again, but I would recommend it to others. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in the play of Shakespeare. I think that the movie was very well done and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in the play of Shakespeare.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I've seen the film a few times now and I've come to really enjoy it. I've always been a Shakespearean buff and I don't really understand why people like to bash on it. There are a few good bits and a few bad bits but it's a good film overall. The cast is superb and the production values are very good. It is a great film for Shakespeare lovers and I would recommend it to anyone.

This is the last Shakespeare production I saw, and it is one of the most charming. It is a little long at one hour and twenty minutes, but there are many, many memorable scenes. And it is gorgeous. A film in the style of a stage play would have been more difficult, but this production is a triumph of good art. There is a strong sense of time, that has the strength to match the powerful effect of the actors. The production is on the lower end of the Shakespearean scale, but it has a strong heart, and I have no doubt that it would have benefited greatly from a better script.

If this film is one of those films which is not exactly what it claims to be, the film is still worthwhile. It's good. What is not good is the film's central argument, which is that we're not all that we think we are. It's not just the character in question who makes the claim. It's the author of the text. I've read Shakespeare's plays and they have a certain self-consciousness about them. The characters aren't really all that interesting or funny. The voice is, which I guess isn't much of a problem. The problem is that these characters are not really any more interesting than any of the other characters in Shakespeare's plays. If anything, the characters are worse than the other characters. They're not funny or interesting. They're boring and monotonous. They're boring because we've seen them many times before. The texts they come from and the things they say are the same. They have the same mannerisms. They're also boring because we know exactly what they're going to say next. And this is the core of the problem. We know that this text is supposed to be funny and interesting and we expect a few moments of funny and interesting. But we have to wait. The other problems are that the film is at the same time too long and too shallow. The film is too long because it is trying to show us the text, but it is too shallow because we have to wait for what we expect to see in a couple of minutes, then nothing. It's a film where there are no surprises. It has a lot of great moments, but those moments are few and far between. It is also a film where the whole thing is very highly stylised. I like a lot of Shakespeare. I love him in particular. I love the stories of Lear and Scipio. I love the way they were presented in the plays. But I also like the way that the stories are told in the plays. So it's not that I'm just interested in things being stylised. I also like that in these texts there is a certain rigidity about the way things are presented and the way things are said. There is a certain message, a certain point of view, a certain way of doing things. And I like that. But I also like that these texts are always so different to one another. So what we're seeing here is a man who is willing to throw away all that rigidity in the text and to make this text very different. So in a sense it is the text that is different, not the character. But that's still the problem. There are some wonderful moments in the film, but it's not that the film is unique in its style. I really love the film's style. The movie does a very good job of saying something important about Shakespeare. I also really like the performances. I think that the actors did a good job of portraying the characters. I think that William Paley is a great director. I really do. And I think that Mr. Paley did a good job of making a very interesting film, even though it isn't unique. It's very stylish. It's very stylised. But it's also very shallow and is very

This is one of those films that I actually enjoy, despite the fact that it's not the best Shakespearean production I've ever seen. It was a collaboration between the BBC and the director of a production called King Lear. I was very surprised to learn that this production is actually different from the usual one, as it was directed by Mark Gatiss. The original Shakespearean style was in fact very much in evidence. The actors did a fantastic job at conveying their characters, and I found myself agreeing with the actors and feeling like they were on the same page. It wasn't until the play was set that I was forced to look out for a very specific aspect. All in all, it was very well done, but it's the weirdness that's the main selling point. The story was, at times, really off-putting. I didn't really understand where this Lear thing was leading, or why he's this scary person that you have to kill. The biggest problem for me was that it seemed as though I didn't even know what it was about. It was confusing and pointless. And yet, it was almost a completely different film to the standard one. It was a completely different experience. If you're into Shakespeare, then I would definitely recommend this film. It was very well-done, and I really do recommend it to anyone. It's worth a look.

This is a film that is not for everyone. It's a very slow film, and there are many scenes that you'll have to keep watching to see what happens. I found it very difficult to follow, but it's a good film to watch. The acting is very good, and the music is very good. It's a very strange film, but it's good. It's not a film for everyone, but if you like Shakespeare, and want to see a film about King Lear, this is a film for you. I rate this film 8/10.

There are always a few reviewers out there who will say "You can't like it, you can't like it" and I can understand that. But in my opinion, this was a terrific film. It tells the story of the literary works that the actors in the movie have read and it is told in an original and beautiful way. I think everyone should see this movie. It is a great movie and it is so original and I do not think you can watch this movie and say "This is not original and this is not beautiful". It is very beautiful.

I don't know how many times I've heard the movie, but the whole play still makes me smile. When I first saw it, it was my favorite play of Shakespeare. Now, I am tempted to see it again, just to see how much I have grown as an audience and as a person. Yes, it is all about the battle between Lear and his enemies. Yes, it is all about love and forgiveness and the tragedy of the will to survive. It is all of those things and so much more. And it is beautifully written and acted by the actors. The only flaw of this movie is that it seems to be running out of time. I was almost starting to feel sleepy, but it just seemed that way. And sometimes it was too slow. It felt like it was dragging on and on, and there was something missing from the plot. But that is just my opinion. I do have a problem with movies that end too soon, like the Godfather, which just happens to be a great movie. I was almost asleep at the end, and I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. But I was probably watching it a little too fast, as the movie seemed to go on forever. And maybe that is what is wrong with this movie. It seems like it was written too quickly. I understand why it was rushed, but I don't like to rush a movie because it is about Shakespeare, and it was meant to be fast paced. But it was worth it. I do know that I would watch it again. I don't think it would make me forget about the play or the actors, because I know that Lear is Shakespeare. I would also watch it again to see how it has evolved from the play. And maybe I would be the only one who enjoyed it. All in all, I would say that this is a really great movie, which is still very enjoyable, even after all these years. A lot of people have complained about the music, and I would agree with them. I feel that most of the songs were good, and some were really good, like the theme from Macbeth. And when you are singing, you forget about all the music. But it was a great movie for the music alone. 7/10

I enjoyed the film. It is one of those films that seems to be missing in the theatre, and is hard to find on DVD. I watched it on DVD and was impressed by the quality of the picture, the acting, and the music. I think that the film is a bit of a hybrid of Shakespearean and modern theatre, and the acting is very good. I was impressed with the staging, and the use of the camera. The director was very good in his choice of scenes. The film is a great work of art. I highly recommend it.

This film tells the story of Lear, as told by Shakespeare, from the point of view of Elizabeth as she hears his last words to the prince, then in her head as she sits on the throne, and finally, as she turns away from the stage to face her death. It is a fascinating film, which is hard to watch, but one that you have to take with a pinch of salt. Yes, the acting is all over the place, the camera work is atrocious, but for Shakespeare fans, this is worth watching. For Shakespeare fans, I would say that it is a good film, but it is not the definitive version of his work.

If you want to watch a Shakespeare movie that is worth watching, then you will enjoy this. You can go into this with your own expectations, you will enjoy it if you can accept that King Lear is not Shakespeare's best. This film has a beautiful, colourful cinematography and also some really good music. All of the performances are top-notch. I was pleasantly surprised with the direction of Lars von Trier. I think he did an excellent job making a Shakespeare movie that is enjoyable, even though the story is sometimes quite convoluted. I really enjoyed this movie. I liked how much it focused on the main characters and how much they were involved in the plot. I was surprised that it didn't have much nudity. In the Shakespeare world, nudity is usually a sign of decadence. This movie has no nudity, and it is only a little bit that one man's ear is exposed. All of the characters are amazing, especially the three sons. Edward, Lear, and Cordelia. They are so lovable and they really are the heart and soul of the film. The actors give an amazing performance. It is a bit unbelievable that they were all born in the same year, but they really make you feel their emotions and they really seem like real people. I would really recommend this film.

This version of Lear is a little different from the BBC TV version. I felt that the producers took this version a little bit more seriously. It was nice to see the London skyline of the early 60's in the BBC version and I thought that the clothes in the BBC version were just a bit different. The plot of the BBC version was way better and it had a better emotional resonance to it. I thought that the BBC version was a bit better. I thought that it was a more truthful portrayal of the actual story.

I was a bit sceptical about this movie. I was expecting a cheesy, "romantic" and "faithful" version of the play, but it turned out to be a very good movie. It was actually better than I expected. It was just as good as the original, and even better than the Hamlet version, which was the one I saw. The acting was great. The sets were beautiful and the costumes were wonderful. The lighting and cinematography were also very good. I was really impressed with the lighting and cinematography. The story was great and the actors did an amazing job with the script. The actors were great, and they were all very convincing in their roles. The plot was very interesting and it kept you engaged all the way through. It was a very good movie and I would recommend it to anyone. I give this movie an 8/10.

It's been a while since I've watched a Shakespeare play and it seems that all the time I've been watching Shakespeare, he's been on stage. This time he plays as an old man who has to make a few choices, because he can't take care of his family and he wants to save money for a great legacy. Well I'm glad I didn't spend my money on this for a stage production. It's definitely a one time watch for sure. It's definitely good, but the pacing is a bit of a drag. The first act is a little slow, and then it picks up quite a bit, but it could have been so much better. I liked the acting in the first act, but it's not enough to carry the whole thing. The ending is pretty nice, but it doesn't add up. Overall, this is a good film, but it isn't a great one. I think it's worth a watch if you're a Shakespeare fan, but it's not something that I'd recommend.

On my last day in London before I go to graduate school I took a friend to see Shakespeare in Love and he said it was about as good as an opera. I took him to see this film and he said it was about as good as a play, but really good. Well, I have to say that this film is quite enjoyable, but you should definitely watch the stage version first, it is even better. Anyway, this is a romantic comedy, which will appeal to most people, as I am sure most will like the film. There is a great cast in this film and it is nice to see so many actors and actresses in the film. Michelle Pfieffer, Alison Lohman, Marcia Gay Harden, and Samuel J. Jackson are all in it, as well as Joan Allen, Ron Eldard, Alan Arkin, Mark Harmon, Jon Hamm, Dan Fogler, Bruce Willis, and Dermot Mulroney. There are a few standouts, but the best is definitely Seth Rogen, who is outstanding. His character is the worst possible character and he does a great job with it. Michelle Pfieffer is not exactly the best actor, but she is also not exactly the worst. Alison Lohman and Marcia Gay Harden are great, but I did not like them as much as they were supposed to be, but this is not a big problem. All in all, this is a very good film. If you are a fan of Shakespeare, you will enjoy this film, but don't be expecting a great film.

Just saw "King Lear" tonight at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. I was so entertained by this well acted production that I actually became very engrossed and took in the whole opera. This film is a treat for anyone who loves Shakespeare and enjoyed the television series "Stage". This production is really excellent. It is so well-staged and so well-acted, that you have to wonder why this production wasn't already available on video. The actors were all excellent, as was the director and his music director. This is one of the most historically accurate productions I've ever seen. While the music and lyrics are very good, they didn't really stand out in my mind the way they did in "Stage". The productions of "King Lear" are always one of my favorites, and this is one of the best I've ever seen. There are no huge parts to it that would bother me. I think everyone who enjoyed "Stage" will like this one, as will everyone who hasn't seen it. There are really good parts of this production, such as the romance, the music and the performances of the major parts. I really liked the movie version of "King Lear" (1972) and this is a good film version of the opera. I think that if you are looking for an exciting and dramatic story, you should go see this production. However, if you just want to see an entertaining and historically accurate production, this is for you.

I was expecting this film to be pretty basic and straightforward, but I wasn't expecting Shakespeare. It was a good film. The performances were good, and it was clear that a lot of work was put into the production. It was a bit slow in parts but overall, it was quite enjoyable. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Shakespeare and is willing to put in the time.
