Can any one help me contrast bewteen the Branagh movie version and the Zeffirelli version on how Hamlet and Laertes both try to get revenge for their father's death?

i find Zeffirelli's version of hamlet to be that of an "action man" version. the two revenge their fathers deaths in a violentnon mannerous way. branahgh however delievers a more subtle revengence. this can be seen in the tone and pitch of speecha nd the lack of violent actions towards claudius when laertes returns.
