Version#1 Directed by Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson did an amazing job. Therefore, the whole theme which was all darkness which represents evil and death. The setting where Gibson did was in a dungeon where all the dead people were at. The actor had a very nice tone and played Hamlet very well. I liked the whole set up one because of the actor, two beause of the setting and how it was in a scary place because Hamlet was talking to the dead people.
Version #2 Directed by Soliloquy. This version was a little weird because Hamlet was saying his to be or not to be speech in a room full of mirrors and he was looking into one mirror which made it seem like he knew there were somebody there watching him, and that made it seem very suspicious. The background music really didn't fit with the whole scene because it was kinda like church music which that made me feel as if I was in church. Overall, The actor did a good job and he also played him well. Even though this version wasn't my favorite.
Version #3 This version was a little intresting even though it's modern. I honestly liked this one because the whole setting had represented alot. Hamlet was saying his to be or not to be speech in a movie store in the action section and then every time he would walk down the isle in the back you would see the tv playing the terminator which had represented the feeling and the theme because there was fighting and explosion going on in the background.

i like how you observed certain details about each version of the play and you stated your opinion also agree that Mel Gibson's version was good, but even though clearly about each one of them. i think Soliloquy's version was kind of weird becaue he was lookin in the mirror, i think this version was the best because the character was dramatic and it got my attention.
I agree with Ashley. Mel GIbson did a great job playing Hamlet in the first version. I do believe that the second version where he was surrounded with mirrors and talking to himself was a bit strange. The third version was very modern but it was interesting to watch the modern interpretation of Hamlet.
