It's very unlikely to rival Jarman's version, one of the best ever filmed Shakespeares.

"For me, he succeeded fantastically on all counts; and this is one of the half-dozen greatest Shakespeare film adaptations".

"Full of magic and surprises...the most truly spectacular British film in years." -- The Times

The other good version, of course, is Forbidden Planet!
