I found this adaptation much easier to follow for obvious reasons. Although I feel like there wasn't a whole lot of deceit in this one like in the 2012 version with the people in the cuffs. While there was some deceit it was mostly done for good reason. They also made it more obvious that the characters talking about Beatrice and Benedict, I felt in the 2012 version the characters that were talking about Benedict really had no idea that he was listening in but that might be because I was too distracted by the language. In the end I think I would like to see a film that is like the actual play.

I can understand that an inability to read Shakespeare with confidence can undermine one's experience with film adaptations of it. However, are these films concerned with whether or not viewers "know" or can read Shakespeare? I don't think that is the goal for either one.
