Though
they may seem unlikely bedfellows, when you throw William Shakespeare and Joss
Whedon together, you wind up with one hell of a popcorn movie. That shouldn’t
come as a surprise. After all, that’s what Whedon does. He has a fantastic pop
sensibility, and turns out great, whip-smart movies that are equally
entertaining. And even given his pantheonic placement in academia, that’s
precisely what the Shakespeare did in his day, deliver populist entertainment
that was never watered down. And when you put the Bard in the hand of the man
who directed “The Avengers,” what you get is the latest adaptation of “Much AdoAbout Nothing.”
