Coriolanus. Watched the trailer and thought it looked like a generally good, modern thriller adapted from a Shakespeare piece. How wrong! ALL the dialogue is in Shakespearean English (which meant I literally had no idea what was going on the entire time), and despite an apparently strong cast, the acting is laughable. It's boring and a complete waste of cinema money. People were leaving the cinema during it, I wish I'd joined them. I'd rather re-watch Sharktopus.

tbf any adaptation of shakespeare is bound to be in shakespearean english, dont know what else you would expect.

I thought it would be 'based on' not a remake or whatever. the trailer gave no hint of Shakespearean lingo.
