Certainly not for everyone and I highly doubt that it appeals to many members on this board.
Concentrating on Shakespeare can be much more difficult compared to the Ninth Configuration.
Although, some people have said that the Ninth Configuration has a direct correlation with the works of Shakespeare.
Hence the whole discussion/scene about Hamlet in the middle of the movie.
Some reviewers have mentioned that Hamlet and the Ninth Configuration go hand in hand.
It all comes down to personal taste.
One mans John Wick 3 is another mans Much Ado About Nothing.
Its all basically a waste of time that I'm sure God is frowning upon.
What can I do though... I'm hooked.
Many people don't like Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet.
Not everyone can listen to him basically read 4 hours of the play to you.
I for one think the scene right before intermission is worth the price of admission.
For an easier version, one could always watch Mel Gibson do it.
He does it well IMO.
