Pacino, Irons do great work in The Merchant of Venice, but is it enough?

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: I had problems with both reviewing and watching this film.
Review: The works of William Shakespeare have always proved to be a fertile ground for Hollywood productions. And why not -- they have gorgeous poetry, strong roles for both men and women, stories that cover both comedy and tragedy, and instant name...

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: Definitely worth a look - Shakespeare has to be your cup of tea, though...
Review: I studied The Merchant of Venice as part of my junior English cycle at secondary (high) school. At the time, I held Shakespeare as more of a curiosity than something relevant to my life, or even to my educational development. I remember it...

A Pound of Flesh, But Not A Drop of Blood!

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: the bottom line enjoyed this movie more than she had planned
Review: Sometimes it s hard to be a woman, and it s even harder to be a Jew. This film, based on Shakespeare s play of the same title, explores both issues. Portia is an intelligent woman in a time when men rule and women rarely leave the house. Shylock is...

'Merchant' shows Will power

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Taken in context, this is a great story. Watch this movie.
Review: The time
Mid to late 16th century. There is tension between the Jews and the Christians. The Jews can lend money and demand interest; the Christians cannot.

The place
Venice, place of barges, canals and far more water than modern...

Al Pacino Delivers the Performance of a Lifetime in The Merchant of Venice

Date of Review:  May 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: Pacino leads a terrific cast in this recent version of The Merchant of Venice.
Review: My brother Nathan has been on a Shakespeare kick ever since he found out that a local college would be putting on two Shakespeare plays over the summer. In preparation for the auditions, he immersed himself in several of Shakespeare's notable works,...

Not Bad Bard

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Definitely worth seeking out
Review: I approached this movie with some trepidation, mainly owing to the presence of Al Pacino as Shylock. The only Shakespeare I had seen him attempt was his lead in Richard III. I was less than impressed by his acting in that one. I'm also always a...

Shakespeare

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2005
Review: An outstanding movie with great actors like Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons. The play written by William Shakespeare could not have been better done as in this movie. It shows how things have been in former times between Christians and Jews. Excellent...
