Ohhh sooo boringggggg! So...I looked on the cover and the cast sold me on this DVD. Well, the cast may look good on paper, but the material is definitely not. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead undoubtedly worked on the stage with it's verbal athlectics and cheeky trope of Hamlet. On the screen, it's a miserable, deathly bore. I kept watching, hoping for the laughs that undoubtedly were heard in the theater. Nothing! Nada! Zip! Roth and Oldman, frankly, are not very good. They're both very one dimensional and start to get on your nerves which adds to the boredom. You don't care about them. Roth is impatient and sour; Oldman is dim and vacuous. Spending a whole movie with these two is punishing. Stoppard's direction is even worse. The verbal lines go quickly, but it all seems sooo slow. That's incompetent direction. There are alot of good reviews of this by other watchers. In fact some "best movie I've ever seen" comments. Without meaning to be insulting, it gives me great pause about those viewers!
