Which director's version does a better job of depicting the first meeting between Romeo and Juliet (Act 1.5)?

Carlei's 2013 version of Romeo and Juliet is far better. The female that played the role of Juliet was way convincing and she fit the imagery of what she'd really be like. Beautiful. Not too young, not too old looking. Everything is just right. Plus the male was a perfect fit for Romeo. He was attractive; like such a pretty boy. 

Zeffereli's version, Juliet looked too young and that wasn't right. The guy looked like a Chester. Baz Luhrmann's version was thee worst. Terrible. Bad acting. Leonardo De Caprio could've done better in his role, and they should've picked a better Juliet. It was a ghetto version.
