It's a really fun movie to watch- a perfect presentation of one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies. The character, for the most part, are acted vividly and with great understanding. Emma Thompson is an amazing Beatrice, and she lights up the screen and makes it a great film!

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Much Ado About Nothing (DVD, 2003)
) Kenneth Branagh makes Shakespeare come alive in this movie. I only wish he would make more Shakespeare-based movies. I have them all, Henry V, LLL, MAAN, and Hamlet, and recommend them to anyone but particularly those of us who struggled with Shakespeare in school. Branagh brings out the magic and music of the Bard's words with just enough (in my opinion) editing to not lose a contemporary audience. MAAN is wonderfully performed with an amazing cast of characters. The story of love, lose, and redemption is sure to more all but the hardest of hearts. Bravo Mr Branagh!

This is a great and cute little Shakespearean chick flick with comedy and intrigue. Give it a try. If you like Shakespeare, this is a great one with Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington, and a very hilarious Michael Keaton.

Great movie!One of the best aspects of this movie is the acting. All of the characters were well selected and do a fine job with their performances. This is one of my favorite movies and I am very happy to finally own it. I love the adaption of this Shakespeare play and think that it is very accurate with remaining the original text. If you are a Shakespeare fan, or even just a Kenneth Brannagh or Emma Thompson fan, I do recommend this movie!

Another Great Kenneth Brannah Shakespeare Adaptation!Like almost all Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare adaptations, this one is great. The screenplay is very faithful to the original text, and the acting is spot on.

This film is great. The acting/actors are great and they pull off the comedy perfectly. My only complaint about this movie would be the fact that the writers felt the need to include the nudity at the beginning. There was really NO need for it. It didn't add or take anything from the storyline. There was NO dialoge for that particular part so it was disappointing that they felt the need to add it especially since I had pre-teen children watching. Other than that it was a great film.

Hey, Nonny, Nonny!Review created: 06/04/08(updated 06/12/08)

A wonderful movie, Kenneth Branagh succeeds in bringing Shakespearian English to the masses in a manner both comprehensible and enjoyable.
Set in the late 16th century, ˝Much ado About Nothing˝ brings Beauty to the eye and Laughter into our hearts and minds.
The acting is superb, with the exception of Keanu Reeves who suffers greatly from being in the company of so many accomplished actors. Denzel Washington is a pleasant surprise and seems quite at ease with his distinguished co-stars and Emma Thompson is quite wonderful as Beatrice… But then, she’s always a pleasure to watch. Michael Keaton seems a bit out of place in this ensemble, but his rendition of Dogberry is quite a riot.
It may not be for one and all, but everyone should give it a try, for you might be surprised and discover, as many have, that this movie truly is quite a treat.
It remains one of my all time favorites

Much Ado About Nothing - DVDReview created: 02/07/08
by:
I just LOVE this movie, and I have not been able to acquire it before now, so when I saw it available for such a great price on ebay, I had to have it. It's ridiculous and silly and really is much ado about nothing. Delightfully, the 'foreigners' speak with a foreign-to-England accent even if it's American, Michael Keaton is SUCH a hoot, Branaugh and Thompson tear each other marvellously to shreds with their clever wits and if the Shakespearean lingo sounds oddly more genuine rolling off of the smooth tongues of those experienced in British Theatre, it's still really cool to hear Denzel Washington spice up the Bard's comedy. I know it's not for everyone, but I could watch this over and over and laugh the harder each time for grasping humour that I missed in previous watches. :D Shakespeare can be fun!

This is really a fun movie, with good acting and wonderful characters. The plot is interesting and a little complicated. The actors are great and really know how to deliver Shakespeare English so that it is easy to understand. The only thing I didn't like was a scene at the first of the movie when everyone is bathing and we have to look at a bunch of nude rear ends! That was completely unecessary to the movie. Other than that, it is one of my favorite movies.

Much adoMy wife loves the whole victorian age and the movies that portray them. A very good plot with a very interesting charactor developement and a glimpse of life in England during the turn of the century with inbreading and adultry running rampant.

I've always liked Shakespeare. Bought this movie because I had seen it on tv and loved it. Now with the dvd at home I've watched lots of times.
Wonderful aotors like Kenneth Branagh, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves, Emma Thompson, Robert Sean Leonard and many more!
The photography is awesome, makes you want to be there.
You will have a wonderful time watching this movie, even teens love it, at least my kids do, the first time I asked them to watch it with me they thought it would be the most boring time but now they've watched it as many times as me.
You will never regret it, get it!

It has it all!Review created: 11/20/06
by:
Well, before I start, I would like to tell everyone that I saw this movie because it was part of my Humanity class in college, the teacher showed us the video in-class. He chose this movie because we are talking about the beginning of theater and Shakespeare's plays.
Going into this movie, I thought It was going to be boring, I really did. After watching a little more than 15mins of it, I realized that It was not "boring".
The movie as a whole is very watch-worthy. I love the setting of the movie and the cast as well. Everyone seems to fit his role quite well. The story is awesome as well.
This movie has it all, its Funny, its Dramatic, and its Suspenseful in someway as well. I highly recommend watching this movie, you will not regret it.

Much Ado About Nothing?? It's really Something!!I saw this movie while I was in the 1st Gulf War on a submarine during movie night. And I have watched it at least 10 times since. I sincerely recommend this one and hope you all find it as witty and fun as I did!!
This movie really has it all!! Mystery, Drama, Suspense, Murder, & Comedy. The setting of this Shakespearian play is set back in the olden days when people rode around on horses, virginal women had bed maids to watch over them as they slept, and people spoke in "proper" style. If you can stand that speech, then you will love this movie.
All of the actors really outdone themselves. Even Keanu Reeves, as a bad guy, done a good job, really he did. There are a couple of parts in the movie that may take a little explaining to the younger kids, but all in all it is a great feature for all ages. Well at least 12 and up. Lol...
Denzel does a great job as playing royalty. He is the leader of a band of men who are taking a break from fighting. And Michael Keaton... he is hilarious!! Emma Thompson is excellent as a snooty, snappy, and witty gal. The whole cast is just awesome!!
Don't wanna give away too much of it to ruin it for anyone so just watch it and write your own review. I'd love to read it to see what others think of it!
