I'm a wild fan when it comes to Shakespeare, the kind of fan that buys the action figures and bookbags and grins like an idiot at the most random obscure quotes. I anticipate movie versions with a personal excitement that surpasses Star Wars, Marvel, and Lord of the Rings. I'm happy to recommend the best examples of why I love it, why people of all ages should love it and everyone should get on the Shakespeare train. The "franchise" is resilient to anything that can be thrown at it. But there are times I'm left thinking, if only they'd done this version differently... if only so I could recommend it more widely.
