He might have done. What did they swap it for

Don't like any of them.
Atleast none of the ones we've had to read at school:
romeo juliet, macbeth, hamlet, and this year will be king lear.

The trick is to see them, not read them. Those were written as plays, not novels.

Think of a really good movie, then read the screenplay. It's not the same, they were intended as performance pieces.

Mel Gibson doing Hamlet is more true to the original intent than your Teacher reading it to you. Fact.

Hamlet is my favourite. The Mel Gibson film version is actually quite good, the fight scenes at the end are good fun. My favourite film version of Hamlet has to be Kenneth Branagh's version, though I'm too tired to remember why.

JPaul is right, you do need to see them performed to see how others have interpreted the play, even an audio recording can be helpful. As luck would have it most of the films of Hamlet are on emule (I know because I have 6 versions myself from there), there's even a pr0n version.

cum swappers 2, rite?

I've never taken the time.

I've heard Kenneth Branagh does these things rather well.

Could try some of those old farts, too, I suppose.

Olivier, Gielgud, McKellan, et. al.

One could start anywhere, eh?

I watched it briefly, the only reference they made to the actual Hamlet story was that they were dressed (briefly) in medieval clothes. I've studied Hamlet a few times in my academic career and can't say I recall any midgets being in it either.
