My problem with Hamlet the character is that, as Olivier said at the beginning of his film version, too many people see him as a man "who can't make up his mind." Which isn't the issue at all.
I like Branagh's Hamlet, and Hamlet, best. He plays him with a straighforwardness that makes the part and the play make sense.
