Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Remember those action sequences, the comedy and special effects from 'The Avengers'? Well it's director, Joss Whedon, is back with a VERY different film. This is our review of 'MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING'.

By Staff

Before anything else- DO NOT expect to see anything even similar to 'The Avengers'. This is a black & white film; with zero special effects and with performers you might be familiar with or see for the very first time. All you Whedonesque fans will immediately recognize multiple actors from previous Whedon-made films and TV shows.

The story is based off a William Shakespeare play, set in our present time and with Mòliere's touch of sarcasm and wit.

What's it about? Easy, it is a romantic comedy with whacky details, misfortunes, situations that would never happen in our day and age, and characters taken out of an overdramatic novel and put in comedic situations.

The result, for those interested in the premise, is more than entertaining and interesting.

The misunderstandings and the medieval-love situations fill the screen with very memorable moments. The performances from the players are practically error-free and Whedon's direction is plastered all over the picture.

Warning- This is not a movie for the average audience. In fact, as you begin to watch it you may feel it isn't worth sitting through it, but if you are a bit patient with it and like movies that offer fresh and unconventional material, then this is a film you must watch.

We cannot deny it had some minor details here and there but the end result is much more that what we were expecting.
