Well, i got into this film because I saw a scene on a YouTube video and it really looked like my type of film, those medieval film with some battle and thrill. At the start I thought I was into the right film, but soon I found out something was wrong. Despite having a great actor on the cast, the film is boring an poetry is everywhere, everytime. The story is confusing and there is no battle scene or such. A shame. If you want some good mediavel movies, there a plenty there, but this one is sure one to never be seen by that kind of public. I could not watch it to the end, I skipped a lot of parts and found it was never meant to be seen by me.
I really like this movie. I love Shakespear and always find it a great pity if modern pieces are in no way right for the master and rather ridicule them. So thank you all. Thanks to you again found a really great work back on the screen. Thank you for your courage, your skills. I have not seen Macbeth in such perfection in a long time. Language, body language and the whole setting. Perfect. Must seen by every Shakespear lover and poetry lovers. 10 Stars
When undertaking a project like this, one needs to be extremely careful for, if it fails, it can do so pretty hard. Now, if you plan to make it misty, slow and theatrical, if the entire weight of the play is going to to lay on the work of the actors, please, do us a favour and go to the theatre to find them. Fassbender, is just not your man. I mean, he, sword in hand, can look quite impressive on the battlefield, but, foreground monologues... Not his thing. Really. On a positive note, often during the film he seems to forget and switches off the fake Scottish brogue.
Period.Word for word accurate from the original text.This film and those portraying these famous figures of Shakespeare, the ambiance, atmosphere, all could not be better represented.Beautiful and magnificent.Such a shame rubbish like these comic book movies make such a fortune where this did not even break even..TRAGIC.
