Review of Macbeth (2015) by John M — 04 Dec 2015
This is not Macbeth, at least not the play. I would call it Macbeth, the music video because the score is incredible and the cinematography beautiful. The visual direction is well done. However, such a hatchet job has been done to the play to produce this travesty of a screenplay that I can't give it more than 1 star.
All depth, subtlety, complexity and character development and motivation has been removed in order to make this a flat, abbreviated and ultimately boring version of a videogame. Now cut it down to 10 minutes and have Bowie sing and maybe I can give it a few more stars.
Otherwise, do yourself a favor and watch the Patrick Stewart/Kate Fleetwood version instead.
