And at the same time, Tennant is able to never be boring, either in an over the top moment, or a quieter moment where he expressed more sadness in his acting. Will you play upon this pipe?' The performance is down to Earth and believable. Evident by lines of dialogue such as, 'I do not understand that. But plays him with such lunacy, and such attention to his chaotic nature, jumping from one crazy thing to another with such effortlessness. Playing a man that was clearly broken on the inside by traumatic events, evident by the scene where the prince looked at his reflection in a broken mirror. David Tennant adds so much to Prince Hamlet, he plays the character with such emotional range. It's a chilling drama, that's able to keep you 100% invested. It's because it was simply the best acted and written. And not it's British, or only got a television release. And while those are astonishingly good movies, this one is much better, and possibly the best ever Hamlet adaptation of all time. More people might remember the 1948 version, or the 4 hour 1996 film, Mel Gibson's shot at it, as well as countless others. It's the classic tale from Shakespeare in its purest form, a well written tragedy. And though this film has a 3 hour runtime, it isn't too long. And even though it's 3 hours, it's not boring. This 3 hour film surprisingly got Patrick Stuart in the role of Claudius/The Ghost of Hamlet's Father. However, among so many other adaptations of the classic, this 2009 TV movie aired on BBC, really stands out. The countless remakes and sequels being generated, especially with the Shakespeare classic Hamlet.

And even though many film snobs like me complain about the lack of originality in cinema. For an iconic story that has been adapted into books and films, and other mediums of entertainment.
