This week I viewed Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 version of Hamlet with Mel Gibson, Glenn Close, Alan Bates. In one of the "making of" documentaries on the DVD, Mel Gibson reveals that the director only used about 30 percent of Shakespeare's play for the film version. What's the general consensus of the film, and of Mel's performance?

Speaking of Mel Gibson as Hamlet, I'm told he also played the part in an episode of Monsterpiece Theater:

I'm not a fan of the Mel Gibson Hamlet. He's okay, but nothing special. These days, I will not spend my money on any Mel Gibson movie.

...did I forget to mention that Mel's big Hamlet scene was with Elmo? :roll:
