MY OPINION:
Well before I watched this movie I hated Shakespeare and now that I've watched this movie I've got to say that I still do. Even though this movie was better than I thought it would be, Shakespeare's language always confuses me. I gave up watching this a couple times but then my mom made me finish. I was happy that at least Claudio and Hero didn't end up killing themselves or something.
