Verona (2010)
2/10
An absolute embarrassment

"Verona" is a Canadian 26-minute live action short film from 6 years ago. And I am sure if William Shakespeare head seen this adaptation of his famous "Romeo & Juliet" work, he would have turned in his grave. Yes it is that bad, that embarrassing. Basically all aspects of this one here are not worth anything beyond high school state level, the acting, the script and the direction. It is so obvious that the people who made this movie were desperate to create something extraordinary, so their ambition may be the only thing somewhat positive here, but it is also negative at the same time as great ambition comes with great responsibility. And nobody from cast and crew has the talent or ability to create something of great quality. well, at least they did not back in 2010, I really hope they have stepped up their game by now, not that this would be any difficult at all. There is another review that gave this one here 10 stars out of 10 and he talks about his crush on one of the actors, which says it all basically. Do not take this review seriously, here we have a piece of garbage. I highly recommend not to check it out, especially Shakespeare lovers will get nightmares if they don't follow my advice. The way they combined old stories with modern ideas was clumsy and that is still a very gentle term for what it really was.
