hmm. Branagh criticism
Jan. 27th, 2007 07:35 pmMuch ado about nothing : dammit. I love this film. Really I do. The Benedick/Beatrice banter is a joy to behold, and Denzel... oh, Denzel. Not just *mrowr*, but ♥.
But argh, I'd forgotten how much I hate Claudio as a character. STABBY.
That and Keanu's acting. :winces:
Well, and the fact that Branagh can't handle any 'Fool' scenes. I've seen those done well. Michael Keaton and Ben Elton look like gurning idiots.
So I fast-forwarded through the bad stuff and rewinded the Benedick/Beatrice, then swooned over Denzel a bit more. It's the only thing you can do, really.
