Opinion-

This movie was okay. I don't really like Shakespeare, the languages seems unnecessary, its too much for me. But I guess this is one of his better love stories. It at least it has a happy ending, unlike Romeo and Juliet. It definitively wasn't one of my favorite love stories tho. I wonder why this is considered a comedy, I also don't understand why Don Jon wanted to break up Hero and Claudio...
