Tromeo and Juliet review

Posted : 12 years, 7 months ago on 1 October 2011 10:22

Romeo, Romeo... where for art thou..... Tromeo?

I have a personal quest I'm trying to fulfill. I'm trying to watch every last adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet there is. I'm slowly getting there, but it's moving along.

I'm so glad I got this one out of the way.

This film was mostly annoying. I did feel for 'Tromeo' and Juliet in this film, they made the cutest couple (as is tradition with any Romeo and Juliet adaptation).
As for the rest of the characters bleh.

I'm not dumb it is a Troma production, therefore the words B Film and cult following come to my head. I didn't walk into this with high expectations so it's not like I'm disappointed. I think the pure sloppiness of the film and horrible script is what threw me off because it is a Shakespeare story.

The ending is not how the original story plays out, it's quite weird, but again... it's a Troma production. Also a lot of key elements to the original story are twisted and lost.

The only good thing about this film was the soundtrack. Awesome punk music (which I never thought could be in a Romeo and Juliet adaptation).
