About Nothing

Kural 1, beklenti ne kadar yüksek tutulursa hayal kırıklığına uğrama ihtimali o kadar artar ise, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, Emma Thompson gibi isimleri yan yana görüp gaza gelmek suretiyle kural 1'i ihlal etmenin bedeli, 110 dakikayı geri istemek olabilir. İşbu önerme kendi kendisini imha kapasitesindedir.

Much Ado About Nothing, koskoca filmden, afili abilerin giriş yaptığı, atlar ve asalet kelimelerini içeren bir cümle ile desteklenebilecek, dört nala sahne dışında bir şey saklamaycağım bir film. Unutalım gitsin.

Puanlarımdan biri yukarıdaki sahneye, biri Denzel Washington'ın su gibi oyunculuğuna, biri de Keanu Reeves'in hain villian portresine.

3/10

Much Ado About Nothing

William Shakespear's comedies such as The Comedy of Errors, The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing etc. are not as well-known as his tragedies (Hamlet, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth). Nonetheless, all have been adapted into movies and today's post is about one of them in particular: Much Ado About Nothing.

I am not going to write the whole plot here as there are many characters and sub-plots as the title suggests. I can tell you however that it's a comedy which is directed by talented Kenneth Branagh who is well-known for his film adaptations of Shakespear's some other plays, namely Henry V (1989), Hamlet (1996), Love's Labour's Lost (2000) and As You Like It (2006).

* Cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves, Kate Beckinsale, Denzel Washington and Michael Keaton.

* The bickering, the witty lines between Branagh and Thompson's characters is a delight to watch and Michael Keaton's Constable Dogberry is hilarious!

* The long take at the end of the movie, with the whole cast dancing, is a good touch!

Overall, an enjoyable film which gets a 7/10 from me.
