My Review:

Much like my feelings for Much Ado About Nothing, I think that this is a story I've known before. Not only have I seen the movies, and the other movie adaptations, but I have also seen the live play, back when I was in high school. And it was the same story. So I already knew what was going to happen. Not surprised at all.

And like MAAN, I have a few favorite versions of this old story.

Romeo + Juliet
Warm Bodies

I also like Romeo Must Die. Since its a Jet Li movie. And we used to watch all his movies then. But I don't like it as much as the other two.
