The script is condensed, but still is very powerful and moving when needed. The music is haunting and the sound effects really enhance the mood. It does have some undeniably good points, it is very well made with very evocative scenery, beautiful atmospheric lighting, sumptuous costuming and cinematography that is moody yet shimmering. While this 1990 film is far from terrible, it is the weakest for me of the three Hamlet films I've seen- I loved Branagh's and especially Olivier's- and possibly Zeffirelli's weakest Shakespeare adaptation also. I saw this film as I love the play and I do like Franco Zeffirelli(especially for his opera films like La Traviata).
