pros

1. The acting is very good.

2. The scenery and cinematography is very beautiful and lush

3. It broke with earlier versions of the play by casting teenaged actors in the lead roles. This is a positive thing which influenced all successive productions both on stage and on screen.

4. As compared with the 1996 movie, some watchers find it difficult to reconcile an actor in modern dress with saying Shakespeare's lines. It seems to work better for them to have costumes which suggest some distant past.

cons

1. Nudity. You can see some bare bottoms and breasts, which offends some people.

2. Setting it in the fourteenth century or so can make it seem distant from the problems of young lovers today.
