It’s practically legend now that Whedon and his cast, which includes his old hands like Nathan Fillion and Clark Gregg, made the film in just 12 days, and how any group of filmmakers – no matter how talented – could’ve made a such a smartly-crafted Shakespeare adaptation in such a short window of time is simply mind-boggling. (The complex language! The references to things that don’t really get used anymore, like letters!)

Whedon’s Much Ado takes place in the present day, and seems unconcerned with the multiple mentions of places in Italy despite the fact that clearly looks like it was filmed in Southern California. The words are the Bard’s but the inflection and direction has just a bit of Whedon sauce, drawing humor out of the prose with well-timed sight gags and gestures. In all, it’s how a Shakespeare update should be done.
That’s not to say Much Ado is perfect – a few moments feel like they maybe could’ve gotten an extra take or two – but those imperfections just serve to make it more endearing. And Whedon’s film isn’t supposed to feel like a massive blockbuster – he saves that mojo for The Avengers. It’s not an ambitious Shakespeare epic like those made by Baz Luhrmann and Kenneth Branagh, either, even though it has small flavors of both. Instead watching Much Ado feels like reading Whedon’s personal sonnet – to drama, to filmmaking, to the art of doing wonderful things just because you can.
