Her portrayal of Juliet lacks depth and she simply does not possess the beauty to be a Juliet - especially if you pair her with Douglas Booth as Romeo. She is simply so much younger than Romeo that their on-screen chemistry looks a bit creepy. 2)Hailee Steinfeld is really a bad casting decision for Juliet. Not even the ending escapes some liberal changes. It also doesn't help that much of the changes has the feel of modern speech being rewritten in an "old-english-sounding" tongue which clearly stands out from the classic words of the bard. The simplification of some text insults the intelligence of the audience and does seem a little arrogant on the parts of the screenwriters. Sure enough, the most famous lines are all there, but the movie frequently deviates from Shakespeare's text. Firstly, the bad: 1) The movie doesn't follow Shakespeare's original text. On the other hand there are several things that really bothered me and that I believe would disqualify it from being classified a "good" film. The series was filmed in various locations, but most notably in the Cinecittà studios in Italy.I am in two minds about this film: On the one hand I can honestly say that I enjoyed it and that it swept me away in the timeless love story. Co-creator Heller stated in December 2008 that a Rome movie was in development. The series received much media attention from the start, and was honored with numerous awards and nominations in its two-season run.

Rome was a ratings success for HBO and the BBC. The series features a sprawling ensemble cast of characters, many of whom are based on real figures from historical records, but the lead protagonists are ultimately two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, who find their lives intertwined with key historical events. The series begins with Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul, and the first season concludes with the assassination of Caesar followed by the rise of the first Emperor Augustus, also known as Gaius Octavian. Rome is set in the 1st century BC, during Ancient Rome's transition from Republic to Empire. The show's two seasons premiered in 20, and were later released on DVD. Rome is a British-American historical drama television series created by Bruno Heller, John Milius and William J.
