I decided not to compare an extremely modern film such as Hawke or Tennant's with Olivier's because I think that the Hawke and Tennant versions was too big of a stretch (as I do not think it is an accurate representation of what Shakespeare would want) and Olivier's for me is not appealing because I think the relationship between Gertrude and Hamlet is taken too far, as they are seen making out!  While I know the director of the Olivier version is attempting to illustrate the extremely close and intimate relationship between the mother and son, it seems extravagant.  Also, I personally am not a fan of black and white films, as films with color allow an audience to truly see the emotion that an actor attempts to display.
