Juliet did good with her role showing much emotion with every scene she was in. The two portrayed the love of their characters perfectly and were almost always making you feel the emotions their characters felt in every scene. The movie was amazing and I personally loved it. The movie was always good and never was too slow or too fast. To me the movie was very good with a lot of action. The fight scene between Tybalt and Mercutio was amazing. The movie was however a little slow or boring due to Juliet’s character being just plain out boring sometimes. Also Romeo’s character seemed a little too whiny and just seemed very “woe is me” kind of attitude. Although there was some bad parts to the movie I did learn a little from the movie. The movie shows that hate causes death and destruction. In the movie four people die because of the hate between Capulets and the Montagues. Because of the hate between the families people died and they learned and I learned that hate produces nothing productive. Another lesson the movie showed was that you should never assume things. Two people also died because of both of them assuming. This movie was good and I would recommend it to some
