Hamlet.

I'd just like to start by saying that this will not be a smart blog, because I'm not in a smart mood after my computer has wound me up to the point where I might actually crush it into the wall out of sheer rage.

So, Hamlet. Well, I'm going to get my opinion of the second Hamlet out of the way. Mel Gibson + English accent? + role of Hamlet = PLEASE JUST NOOOOOOO.

I liked the first one, because of the way that its like you're seeing into Hamlet's thoughts, which makes it feel more truthful and personal, but I think that the acting is better in the 3rd version, and so it doesn't need the feeling of being in Hamlet's head because you feel close to the character's feelings because of the awesome acting. Also, the guy's voice in the 1st one is sort of off-putting, to me he sounds like RiffRaff from Rocky Horror, which makes a good soliloquy a bit creepy. He can't help his voice though, so he is forgiven.
