The "To Be or Not To Be" scene is probably the most recognizable speech in literature. The goal of these directors was to portray it the best they can. Obviously throughout the versions, they vary and have some pros and cons to each. I'll start off talking about the version that is least appealing to me. That one is theAlmereyda version where Hamlet is walking into blockbuster. I feel the setting is off, and the audience is not able to see the appropriate emotion that Hamlet is feeling.
The one i did enjoy was Branaugh's version (which i actually like the best overall). The scene definitely was on point with Hamlet's speech. You can feel the emotion and while watching it, the intensity rises.
