We can find a lot of differences comparing the book and the film in all of the aspects like the language, the places, etc. and these are the most important ones:
First of all the most different it could be the places because the book's story happened in the medieval village of Verona and the film's story happens in the new Verona that it's a very big city with big buildings and with near the beach that it's in United States.
There are a lot of metaphors in the film like when there are fights there are a lot of fire or a storm and when there are love situations usually occurs in swimming pools with very beautiful water.
In the book we don't know the narrator's identity because it's omniscient but in the film the narrator of some chapters is the newsreader.
About the language of the story the book it's wrote in actual english but the film utilizes the antic language of the real book in verse.
In the book the characters wear old and big dresses of the medieval ages and in the film they wear shirts of our time.
A lot of elements have been changed like the swords for the guns, the prince for the police's boss, the apothecary for the drug seller.
Then there are another difference in the way that Tybalt kill Mercutio because in the book they fight with the swords but in the film Tybalt kill him with a broken piece of glass.
