The lines are read for the most part with more feeling for the angry-stepchild plot than for the iambic pentameter.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

Almereyda modernises and streamlines without trivializing, and amplifies poetic melodrama with regular ingenuity and energy.
Derek Adams, Time Out

Icy-cold in its palette and unwaveringly cool in its application of modern settings and gizmos to a text that stands up to endless reinvention, this is a Hamlet that brings imagination matched by thoughtfulness to its appeal to both eye and ear.
Susan Stark, Detroit News

The result is more than a mere gimmick and less than an unqualifed success, but yes -- it's always watchable.
