Joss Whedon takes a break from Marvel to give us the Bard.
I wasn't familiar with this play at all. It probably would have helped to have read some of it before hand to keep straight who was who and what they were doing in order to focus on the language.
It's modern retelling of this courtship play. Clark Gregg is the best of the bunch with Nathan Fillion a close second. Gregg gets the lead because he has much more screen time. Although, I would love Mr. Shakespeare to start writing the play 'Detective Inspector Dogsberrie'. I also felt the cast could have spent more time with their lines. More familiarity would have made it sound less mushy, which it did at times.
It's Shakespeare. The language is beautiful. The structure of the plot is a little archaic but Wheedon does give it some modern touches.
Didn't thrill me. Didn't really bore me. Needed a sword fight and more Dogsberrie.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
