Boring, unwatchable nonsense for the art-house pseudo-intellectual
26 January 2006
While the movie is produced well, and stars two of my favorite actors, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead was an utterly boring display of nonsense. Maybe I am just a "stupid-American", but the whole Shakespeare thing does not, and has not translated into modern film entertainment for me, ever. This film, is just a pseudo-intellectual's wet dream. Be cautious of those who said they liked this movie, because most likely they are just a pretentious, coffee house, art geek who wants to think they are better and smarter than everyone else. All that being said, the enormous talents that are Gary Oldman and Tim Roth could not even make this film remotely watchable. Oh, by the way, Richard Dreyfuss is HORRIBLY annoying....and he just keeps coming back....over and over again.
