New York Times

[Mel Gibson] is by far the best part of Mr. Zeffirelli's sometimes slick but always lucid and beautifully cinematic version of the play.

F5 (Wichita, KS)

In retrospect, it's a small jump from Shakespeare to God. What if Gibson had been stopped then?

June 23, 2004

EmanuelLevy.Com

Starring Mel Gibson, Zeffirelli's Oscar-nominated version is colorful and mildly engaging, but lacking depth and poetry, and the two women are miscast.

Time Out

It's a surprisingly successful venture, decked out in Anglo-Saxon styles and with a brooding, robust castle setting which oozes horse muck.

June 24, 2006

Resource

TV Guide

Offers what amounts to a comic book intro to Shakespeare's classic, retaining few of the play's psychological complexities.

July 04, 2008

Washington Post

There's nothing embarrassing about Zeffirelli's brisk new version, nor anything particularly remarkable; it's an entirely credible, middle-of-the-road production.

Common Sense Media

Mel Gibson emotes as the doleful Dane.

January 02, 2011

Rolling Stone

Gibson gives the melancholy Dane an earnest but pedestrian reading.

June 06, 2001

Washington Post

Reduced to 'Master Pieces Theater,' Shakespeare's text nevertheless gains in force what it loses in integrity.

January 01, 2000

Film4

Not only is Mel Gibson much better than you might expect, but Zeffirelli's Hamlet is often entertaining and rarely hard to endure.

Three Movie Buffs

Alas, poor Mel Gibson! I knew him when he was on top of the world.

Variety

Performances all fall in a middle range between the competent and the lackluster.
