Hard to Find New Classic
Classic Shakespeare in a contemporary setting. Ian McKellen hits it out of tha park with an excellent supporting cast and production. If you find Shakespeare boring and antiquated, this will really pique your interest. This is usually very hard to find at a reasonable cost elsewhere.

Richard III w/ Sir Ian McKellen & Annette Bening 2000
The British Monarchy has its darker sides in history. William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and playwright, composed "Richard III" before he joined Lord Chamberlain's company in 1594. Since many of his texts did not completely survive, I can only estimate, due to the plague, that it was written between 1592 and 1594 while the poet and playwright was coming into fame and was composing his historical cannon of the British Monarchy. The story was entitled by Shakespeare, "The Tragedy of Richard the Third." It follows directly after "Richard Duke of York," and that play's closing scenes, in which Richard of Gloucester (Richard III) expresses his ambitions for the crown, suggests that Shakespeare had a sequel in mind.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and playwright, composed "Richard III" before he joined Lord Chamberlain's company in 1594. Since many of his texts did not completely survive, I can only estimate, due to the plague, that it was written between 1592 and 1594 while the poet and playwright was coming into fame and was composing his historical cannon of the British Monarchy. The story was entitled by Shakespeare, "The Tragedy of Richard the Third." It follows directly after "Richard Duke of York," and that play's closing scenes, in which Richard of Gloucester (Richard III) expresses his ambitions for the crown, suggests that Shakespeare had a sequel in mind. There's no record of the first performance of "The Tragedy of Richard the Third," but guessing, it was probably outside London (where the plague was serious) in late 1592-93. The play first printed in 1597 and there were five reprints before it was included in the 1623 Folio. The primary source of the history of Richard III that was available to Shakespeare was Sir Thomas More's "History of King Richard III. It was incorporated in chronicled histories by Edward Hall (1542) and Raphael Holinshed (1577, revised in 1587). In my opinion, Shakespeare seems to have profited from both. Now to the show: In this DVD Shakespeare demonstrates a more complete artistic control of his historical material than its predecessors; Richard (Sir Ian McKellen) himself is a more dominating protagonist any of his others in his earlier plays. Historical events are manipulated, perhaps for the sake of an overriding design. The show's English is more highly poetically patterned and rhetorically unified. That part of the film which shows Richard of Gloucester's violent, non-stop, bloody progress to the throne is based on the events of twelve years. The remainder (mostly of his reign covers only two years. So the film's focus is on the ruthless Richard of Gloucester who killed nearly every one in the monarchy to get to the throne. The characterization of Richard III as a self-indulging ironist builds throughout the show. This updated version of Shakespeare's historical tragedy sets the story in 1930's Europe. Sir Ian Mckellen plays Richard of Gloucester, the ruthless, crippled, power-hungry, and violently out of control mass murderer who killed nearly everyone in his path to get to the throne to become Richard III. A classic, not simply because of the script, but also because of the magnificent characterizations by Sir Ian McKellen and Annette Bening.

Sir Ian McKellen at His Very Best
If I had to pick just one performance by Sir Ian and name it as his best, in my opinion, this one would be it. First, because his forte' is as a Shakespearean actor. Although he's more than proven he can play anyone from a comic book character to a modern psychiatrist to a legendary wizard to a famous movie director. There's something so devastatingly evil about King Richard III, especially before he became a king. In fact, it's how he murdered his way on to the royal thrown that's the horror of the story. McKellen makes it delicious that evil does prevail. He makes even the most despicable personality have qualities of character with which we can empathize. That's the mark of exquisite acting. It must be so much simpler to play the lovable heroes and ... If I had to pick just one performance by Sir Ian and name it as his best, in my opinion, this one would be it.

It must be so much simpler to play the lovable heroes and good guys since we all want to like them. How much more challenging for an actor to portray a human monster who has a penchant for destruction of everyone in his path? We wait for Shakespeare's Richard III to do something redemptive and are left still stunned and waiting. Great script. Great film to start to understand Shakespeare's style of poetic prose. Leave it to the well seasoned pro, Sir Ian, to make Shakespeare sound modern and easy to comprehend.

McKellen's Triumph
Sir Ian McKellen is who makes this version of Richard III work better than all the rest. He's the Shakespearean actor who's even mastered "King Lear." He's Gandalf, Magneto, Emile, James Whale, & Hitler just to name the tip of the iceberg few characters he's brought to life on stage and/or screen. This time he's really evil incarnate. Magneto and Hitler somehow seem a bit tamer than Richard III as Sir Ian portrays him. Even Hitler could seduce great world leaders with charisma. But McKellen's Richard III has zero charm. He's narcissism personified. I don't know of another actor, looking all the way back to the beginning of films, who could have come close to channeling the absolutely wicked character of Richard III as perfectly as Sir Ian. He's the man! By the way, Annette Bening is ... Sir Ian McKellen is who makes this version of Richard III work better than all the rest. He's the Shakespearean actor who's even mastered "King Lear."

Richard III (2000) 16:9 anamorphic transfer from USA
I saw this movie upon UK release.... I bought the UK release on DVD, but unfortunately, they gave us a 4:3/Letterbox widescreen release.... no other UK release has yet materialized... the pity was that the sole UK release was in a format aspect size that was already outdated... people genearally had widescreen tvs after 2000/2001 (and if not, the manufacturers were at the point here in Europe of making only 16:9 sets in any event)... this IS such a great movie... people like me who don't care for "traditional" Shakespeare can really enjoy the wonderful time-warp setting of 1930's/ Art deco period London... and this works well... I had been looking for a full anamorphic transfer here in the UK for many years now since the release back in 2000/2001... a film of this calibre deserves ... I saw this movie upon UK release....

I had been looking for a full anamorphic transfer here in the UK for many years now since the release back in 2000/2001... a film of this calibre deserves nothing less... the mere action of zooming a 4:3/Letterbox transfer means you lose quality BIG time on a widescreen panel, especially when you get to 40" or over.... So, when I finally discovered that in the good-old USA a remastered anamorphic transfer did exist, and saw the offers on these vey pages, I jumped at the chance to replace my existing copy.... and WHAT A Big difference it makes! Worth every penny!!! the sad truth is that QUALITY British produced movies are better appreciated in the US than over here, because my pleas with the distributor here went unheard... they simply don't care about spending more to give us an up-to-date tranfer that better suits a 16:9 tv.... the shape/aspect having been in common usage here for certainly 7-8 years... If you are looking to get this movie, I reccomend strongly you get the US region 1 version presented in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen on a dual-layer disc(DVD 9)... You will be rewarded with a wonderful experience!
