7/10
Bravo, Branagh!

Hamlet, directed and starring Kenneth Branagh, is the movie adaptation of the Shakespeare play by the same name. Hamlet is the story of young Hamlet, whose sanity is spinning out of control as he attempts to seek revenge for his murdered father. This movie is near identical to the inspiration that it steamed from; however, Branagh makes bold choices as the director that make the movie more interesting for those who haven't read the play itself. Depending on your opinion of the play, this could or could not bother you. While there are some pacing issues, overall this film is a great adaptation of Shakespeare's work. If you're a fan of Shakespeare I would put this movie on your must watch list!
