In 1985 he was People Magazine's original Sexiest Man Alive. He was the star of the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max series of films along with many others, some, like The Year of Living Dangerously, even critically respected. In 1990 Mel Gibson was on top of the world. The newer movie set in modern times totally destroys the mood and feeling of the movie and makes it unbearable to watch, almost painful.Alas, poor Mel Gibson! I knew him when he was on top of the world. I thought of this as somewhat amusing, re-enacting a play in a movie store, but maybe that was intended. This only comes through in one of the movies, while the other places all the dialogue in modern places, such as Blockbuster. What do you think about when somebody mentions Hamlet? Probably a castle, surrounded by trees and grass, a brook here or there, with immense emotional distraught among the royalty and friends. I personally think Mel Gibson is a better actor in all cases, but Ethen was just disappointing, that is all I can really say. As if that was not enough, there was no weight to what he said, it was all said too lightly and left me yawning. He always had the same stupid look on his face, like he hit his head a little too hard falling out of a tree as a child. His acting was at best weak in my opinion. Ethen, on the other hand, I thought to be very disappointing. Gibson said every phrase with suiting emphasis and expression, making his feelings believable. He gave the appearance that Hamlet was a young man (despite the age of the actor) who had no real problems in life until Claudius made everything go awry. Of the two, I personally preferred Mel's performance. Let us start off with the main character. But whether it is Mel Gibson or Ethen Hawke who stars in the movie, essentially, it is still Hamlet. The newer movie is set in modern day times and with nearly the same text as the original play. The older movie was set in a fitting time for Hamlet, where Kings and Queens ruled all and technology was still primitive. They both held different views and emotions for key points of the original play as well as a different way of expressing these feelings. The new and old movies of Hamlet were very different from the play, as well as each other.
