Review of Much Ado About Nothing (2013) by Avid C — 01 Jul 2013
Much Ado About Nothing by Joss Whedon is the latest adaptation of the Shakespeare's comedy.
The good. Excellent ideas. Very funny settings and actions. Nice choice of actors. With visual, it's always possible to add non spoken actions to original dialogs and Whedon made some clever extensions. Great photography.
The actors. My favorite performance were by Nathan Fillion, Sean Maher, and Tom Lenk, although I came to appreciate those of Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof a lot.
The bad. The concept of war as spoken in the piece doesn't translate well in modern time.
The ugly. Nothing.
The result. Solid entertainment for those who like modern transposition of Shakespeare's work, A must for any Whedon fan.
