Hamlet Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
A work of tremendous personal ambition equipped with a budget nearly equal in magnitude.
Common Sense Media
Randy White
Shakespeare's great tragedy -- all of it.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
The play widely regarded as the best piece of dramatic literature ever written...[in] the only unexpurgated big-screen version. [Blu-ray]
TV Guide
Simply gorgeous to look at, and a number of the performances are outstanding...
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Die-hard Bard students may quibble, but this gargantuan and glorious "Hamlet" is a movie-lover's paradise.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Branagh combines one of the Bard's best plays with some of the best filmmaking the medium has to offer.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Branagh has one-upped Olivier again by making his Hamlet a bold spectacle: big and loud and colorful.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
There are many ... instances when you want to run screaming from Elsinore Castle.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
With his handsome and compelling Hamlet, Kenneth Branagh brings the Bard's greatest tragedy passionately alive on the screen.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Kenneth Branagh directs and stars in a vibrant, full-text, full-hearted film from Shakespeare's most complex tragedy.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Glorious as it is, this unexpurgated workout is ultimately a movie of moments.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
As star and ringmaster, Branagh gets to the heart of Hamlet and goes to admirable lengths to take his audience there, too.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Branagh's version moved me, entertained me and made me feel for the first time at home in that doomed royal court.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A vigorous, four-hour adaptation that's 100 percent Shakespeare and 100 percent cinema.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Branagh confirms what was known from the opening shot of Henry V: he has fine cinematic skills.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
By looking to the box office and the classroom with equal respect, [Branagh] has kept himself a friend of Shakespeare.
Salon.com
Scott Rosenberg
Every little triumph seems to inspire in Branagh some accompanying act of bad taste or judgment.
Washington Post
Lloyd Rose
The film equivalent of a lushly illustrated coffee-table book.
