Hamlet 2009 has been described as:

A brilliantly played and perfectly casted rendition of this classic masterpiece! It puts a modern spin on the story while maintaining its original form, and the emotions brought to the screen by the actors is stunning. No other version I've seen matches this, especially Tennant's portrayal of Hamlet himself, with the realistic emotions and actions that bring the character to life and then some.
