I liked the music at the beginning and in the balcony scene, I liked the use of Mozart's Symphony Number 25 and I liked the use of Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde sung brilliantly by Leontyne Price, however some of the more contemporary songs felt somewhat intrusive. The soundtrack I had mixed feelings about. (I love animation don't get me wrong but that feel to this film doesn't bode well with me). Baz Luhrmann's direction was also a disappointment, sometimes in the early scenes it was so over the top that I forgot I was watching a version of Romeo and Juliet and thought I was watching a flash cartoon.

Plus when Benvolio says "Put up your swords" I personally felt "put down your guns"(as they were guns not swords here) would have been better. I have no problem with a film that is updated, it worked in West Side Story, it worked in Carmen Jones, but it does feel jarring when the script is not modernised, with a poetic and archaic sounding script mixed by exhilarating non-stop action merging on screen it doesn't quite work. However, there are other aspects that didn't quite work. Plus the ending is very tragic as it should be. I liked how fast it moved too, it was almost exhilarating in pace, and I think the film makers did that purposefully to empathise how rushed Romeo and Juliet's relationship was. And Leonardo Di Caprio does have a boyish charm that compensates for any thoughts of whether he was too young. Also I would have liked to have seen more of Paris, a smaller role but a significant one. Regarding the character though, she could have been developed more, seeing as she was the main source of motherly affection in the play I would have liked to have seen that come across more. Miriam Margoyles is a fine actress and brought a real sense of maternal instinct to the role of Juliet's nurse. Harold Perrineau was perfect as Mercutio yes the singing wasn't great but it was for comedy, and Pete Postlethwaite was a noble and sympathetic Friar Lawrence. I also liked how the Capulet party was staged, all grand and lavish and Claire Danes's white swan dress was stunning. The cinematography is beautiful and the scenery is gorgeous. Starting with the redeeming qualities, the film does look amazing. I really liked the 1968 film with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey though that did have one or two problems. However, I was disappointed with this version of Romeo and Juliet.
Now I like Baz Luhrmann, I loved Moulin Rouge! and Australia was a much better film than people give credit for. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 5 / 10 Visually stunning, but this could have been better But although it is set in modern times, it is still the same timeless story of the "star crossed lovers".
There are obstacles on the way, like Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, and Romeo's friend Mercutio, and many fights. They have to hide their love from the world because they know that their parents will not allow them to be together. The Montagues and Capulets are two feuding families, whose children meet and fall in love. The classic story of Romeo and Juliet, set in a modern-day city of Verona Beach.
