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.

It's a gimmicky film, which for my taste, has gone too far and has spoiled it. It is a serious movie but it falls.I do not think it's a bad movie, the truth is, the problem for my taste, is that when I first see Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard talking to themselves, well I do not believe it.In addition, at the beginning, he assembles a series of slow planes, which do not come to mind. That they do not count anything else for going in slow motion. They are not even pretty or spectacular. Ten minutes into the movie, like he will not let me in.The other actors are not bad, but with the protagonists they have already taken me out.Great production, therefore, great costumes, makeup and art.Management, very limited and planning nothing great.We reached the end and if the picture was quite good. The final part, although I imagine it was so red because of the blood, but I see it too gimmicky, I do not like it.I would see other versions.Spoiler:It is not good to compare with other versions, but in this case, it seems like sometimes, you have all the time in the world to tell the story and at other times, it seems that you are in a hurry, you are already in the middle of a scene, as when kill your friend, it's as if I've lost something. And when Marion is already dead. So suddenly, but how and when?

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.

"Macbeth" is a modern adaption of the classic play by William Shakespeare. It takes over the well known story and enriches it with modern ways of production and technical possibilities.It is remarkable, what beautiful pictures this adaption delivers. It creates a very fitting mood that make the play believable and give it a rather dark and sinister tone. It sticks to the classical language, which, at times, can make it quite hard to follow the plot because it creates a rather bumpy flow but still it is surprising how well the theme of Macbeth still works centuries after its imagination. Additionally, the production manages to stay credible and avoid to make the film look like any cheap play you might have seen before.All in all I liked this movie pretty much even though at some times I would have wished for a more easy access concerning the big material it deals with. Still, the pictures alone are worth giving this one a try. If you can watch it on a big screen, I could imagine that it works out even better.
