GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Monique One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Joshuakilimnik I watched The Emoji Movie in theatres. This is the worst movie I have ever seen. The editing, the cinematography, every performance that isn't Leo's, the costume design, the sets, everything is just so painstakingly horrible it had to be meticulous.
chris_teasdale This is less of a review and more of a response to others. I will keep it short and sweet. There seems to be a lot of people upset that this movie doesn't stick to the original script exactly. In other words, read the play line for line. And what an absurd waste of time that would be. If I want to see the play, I will go to the theatre and see the actual play. When you go to the movies you expect something different. Not necessarily better. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a movie version set in the present day will be different. However, I know for a fact that even if the play had been copied line for line, some people would still not be happy about that. As I found out from someone's review of 'much ado about nothing' by joss whedon. Hence the title of my review. Some people just love to complain no matter what. I for one have always liked this movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
andreasringsby I ended up watching this movie with my class, because my teacher said that it was such a great story. Off course everyone had heard about the story, but no one had seen the movie. However, It was not the original movie we saw. Nope, we ended up watching the modernized 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet, and the first thing I saw was Jamie Kennedy as a colorful punk with pink hair. When he is introduced before Leonardo De Caprio, screaming around with his punk friends I already knew that the movie will be annoying. And I was right. If I would describe this movie whit one word it would be "annoying"! The original dialogue from the original story is put into this modern time movie, something that does not work at all. The acting is decent, while all the emotions to different characters is everywhere.Would not really say that this is any great movie to watch, not the worst movie I have seen, but it is annoying enough to give it a 2/10 stars.Hope you enjoyed my first short review here on IMDb and I hope you are agree with me.

kokiedragon SPOILER IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE PLOT OF ROMEO AND JULIET Romeo is dramatic and goes to a party where he kisses an engaged girl he just met. They then become deeply in "love" and are really dramatic and threaten to kill themselves a lot. Romeo kills his girl's cousin and says its not his fault, it's fate's. Then they kill themselves in an annoying way.Everything was awful, over-dramatic to the max even though it was set in a modern setting. There was no Paris in the ending scene, what happened to him????Like if you could marry Paul Rudd wouldn't you? she knew Romeo for like an hour and killed herself when he died.Also Juliet saw Romeo kill himself and didn't speak up it was bad, too many candles.cinematography was so all over the place, it made me nauseous.What is with the neon crosses in the church?Where were her parents and nurse when she was "dead", it was like Friar Lawrence sneaked in and called the authorities?ALSO WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT 0/10 STARS, TERRIBLE, I'D RATHER WATCH AND READ THE FIFTY SHADES OF GRAY SERIES THAN REWATCH THISWATCH IT IF YOU HATE Shakespeare AND YOURSELF!
