Mel Gibson's Hamlet

So we finally (re)watched the Franco Zeffirelli Hamlet with Mel Gibson.

The first thing you ought to know when reading this review-thingy is that I kind of worship Kenneth Branagh's version. I don't think it's possible, on the whole, to do Hamlet better than they did in that movie. I try to stay away from negativity in my fandomy things as much as I can, because I far more enjoy squee than "grr arg that sucked". However, while this had it's good parts (read: Ophelia), it either left out or misinterpreted just about everything I think Hamlet should be about.

( Long story short, bitching ahead. )

And with that, I think it's time for bed!
