I personally perfer the book, but that's only because my attention span for the movie is severely limited. The movie, however, puts an image to the book, so it helps in understanding the book better. Yet, I can't stand it when movies deviate from the book they are based off of, and the movie is starting to do that. That aside, the movie does a pretty good job at displaying emotion, but I'm wondering if it's only the way the director sees it. If that is the case, it might not be the way Shakespeare intended it. So overall, I generally perfer the book over the movie because then while I am reading I am fully aware the way I interpret it could be completely wrong.
As far as comparing how the movie captures the characters to how I see them, the movie is pretty different. But then both views could be VERY different from how Shakespeare wanted it to be. So I guess the only way to know which way is right is to go back in time and see the play for myself. Now THAT would be cool.
If only we could. Oh well.
