: I too have the painful memory of the third karate kid. Anyway, one point I'd like to make is that it's not just the actor or actresses fault if two completely different characters they play are similar. She may not be that great, but she may be an exceptional actress who plays characters that are WRITTEN to be almost identical and she makes it painfully obvious to the audience. Yet a third possibility is that the people who wrote Hamlet had her in mind as Ophelia and wrote her to be similar to Kat trying to attract younger audiences. What I just said may not have made any sense, but that is a problem that someone like me doesn't have the time to worry about.

: P.S. Since I'm already off-topic, I'd like to say that all Shakespeare updates SUCK. The great thing about what Shakespeare wrote is that they were timlesss stories, timelesss meaning that they don't need to be updated for people to understand them. At most, they'd just need to be rewritten into modern english, and maybe made a little shorter to accommodate for the shorter attention spans...and maybe put in an explosion or two, or maybe a car chase...or cast Ah-nold as Othello and make Bruno his loving wife and the two are actually spies sent to kill the president of Haiti, yeah! That'll bring in the big bucks.
