- Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet will be better, no matter what, forever.
– I can't accept Catherine as a respectable director for Hamlet, by far the greatest play ever written.
– on the other hand, I think Emile is a fantastic choice for the part.

Personally, I'm more a fan of the Mel Gibson version. Branagh takes himself a little too seriously in his version to even come across seriously. I even found myself laughing at his father's ghost.

I dunno, the contemporary Ethan Hawke version sucked pretty badly. My question is why bother? There's plenty of film adaptations already.

Branagh's Hamlet will never be surpassed. How can you beat a full text film version of the play?

• @ANGRYBROOMSTICK Branagh's version is my favorite as well.
• I actually liked Twilight. There were many things wrong with the movie, and the books, but I still liked it. A lot actually. I can't explain it.
• I also love Emile Hirsch. Into the Wild made me cry, and that hasn't happened in a movie since Braveheart, and I was like 14.

I remain highly skeptical. I'm not a huge fan of modernized Shakespeare and Hardwicke directing? I don't know the material might be a little too deep for the director. My knee jerk reaction on this news says, "Fuck this project."

the 1996 Kenneth Branagh version is my fave Hamlet of all.
