Hamlet's dialogue and plot should be good enough to engage with audiences, regardless of the cast and settings. However, Bruce Ramsay's adaptation, which is set in the 1940s, somehow drops the ball. Ramsay's film has five reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and all are negative, giving it a whopping zero percent. It also doesn't help that the notoriously l...
While it's odd to watch Mel Gibson play the Prince of Denmark, he was good casting for Hamlet at the time, following his memorable performances in Mad Max and Lethal Weapon. Director Franco Zeffirelli, best known for his adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, does his version of Hamlet in a medieval setting that's accurate to the play. Glenn Close gives one...
Following the success of Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet, modern retellings of Shakespeare became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The modern-day reimagining of Hamlet takes place in New York City, where Ethan Hawke's prince is the son of a recently dead CEO. His Hamlet is unique, portrayed as a film student who turns his famous soliloquies ...
Campbell Scott's three-hour TV movie is an obscure and underrated adaptation of Hamlet. Although Shakespeare stories often feature British actors, this is a rare interpretation in which all the actors are American, in a turn-of-the-century America setting. Scott may not be a household name, but he gives a terrific performance as the Dane, and deliv...
Laurence Olivier is often considered the finest actor of his generation. In 1948, the world was fortunate to witness him play the role he was born for (and direct himself). His Hamlet remains the only direct-Shakespeare adaptation to win the Academy Awards for Best Picture and for acting. What makes Olivier's film stand out is the gothic atmosphere...
A big reason why Hamlet hasn't been adapted for the screen that much is because a full, unedited performance could take over four hours. However, Kenneth Branagh took on the mammoth project of a Hamlet movie filmed in the play's entirety, clocking in at 246 minutes. Set in the 19th century, Branagh's Hamlet is filmed in the spirit of a David Lean e...
Although Grigori Kozintsev's Hamlet is spoken entirely in Russian, and does not have a score on Metacritic, it holds a perfect 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Made in Russia during the height of the Cold War, Kozintsev's Hamlet makes sure to include the complex Denmark politics of the play. The castle is a character itself, as plenty of scenes are ...
Following his remarkable run as The Doctor on Doctor Who, David Tennant introduced Hamlet to a new generation of fans in this television film from the Royal Shakespeare Company. Teamed up with Shakespeare legend Patrick Stewart as Claudius, the charismatic Tennant displays the Dane's wit, humor and madness that's often overshadowed by his melanchol...
