The three Hamlet versions were very different and also very similar in certain aspects. The actors in all three hamlets were portraying Hamlet with different feelings and enthusiasm. The 3 movies were all very different in the aspect of the setting. The movies were all based on the same thing, they were just presented different in every movie.
In the movie with Mel Gibson, which I think was the best one was very well portrayed. Gibson played a great Hamlet. The way he presented Hamlet was good and the way the whole movie was presented was well. The setting was very good, that Hamlet movie most reminded me of the playwright. It had more feeling and emotion. The scene were the ghost comes to talk to Hamlet was the best out of all three movies. Mel Gibson and the guy who played Judge Danforth in The Crucible did a very good job in the scene. They brought fear and lots of emotion to the movie.
The second movie was pretty loud and too fast. I didn't think the person who played Hamlet did a good job. It seemed like he wanted to make Hamlet look very loud and obnoxious. The Ghost scene was way to much over dramatic. It didn't even look like he was scared of the ghost, the picture I got was that maybe he running cause the world is coming to an end. The rock were coming up and looked like a volcano was erupting. The only thing I liked about the second one was that they gave flashbacks to when the King dies and how he died. The third one was way to modern for my viewing. I honestly didn't get why they would make a modern movie of hamlet, it totally defeats the purpose of the real Hamlet. Hamlet is a very hard movie to make . People have their own interpretations, how a movie is portrayed really says something about the actors who played the the characters and really says something about the original play write itself.
