I didn't like the Romeo and Juliet movie for many reasons. This movie have ruined the love story and has converted this story more like a violence story where violence is superior than love and other important values, the movie show violence as a more important theme, guns are major objects in this movie, the family feud doesn't only include words and exclusion but killing, in every part of the movie or "playing with guns" , the play include love as a major theme, Romeo and Juliet's love story is more relevant. Some characters still keep certain characteristics, for example Mercutio, in both he is a really loyal friend, in both he defend Romeo and fight defending him. Somehow I liked that the movie included modern type of problems making it more interesting than the play, but these problems are being exaggerated in comparison of how they actually could be in real life making the movie seem stupid, for example when both families fight they made really weird and strong moves. I wouldn't recommend the movie for those who liked the Romeo and Juliet's story as it is, because the movie changed completely the conception of Shakespeare story, the settings change completely, the movie occur in a modern city and Shakespeare try to describe a "medieval" setting. To conclude I didn't liked the movie at all and I wouldn't recommend it because it changed completely the original story and themes of Romeo and Juliet, in this case some characters characteristics are still shown but the settings and feelings changed.
