Movie Haiku:In the midst of directing mayhem like THE AVENGERS, multiplex master Whedon took a staycation to film some Shakespeare literally in his own home. The result is good news/bad news. He has cut the speeches down so all the words make sense, but in contemportary clothes these character dilemmas are ridiculous. By the end, nothing is left but cartoonish pratfalls.
