FilmBuff1994 Macbeth is a good movie with a reasonably well developed plot and a top notch cast. The highlight is without a doubt Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard in their respective roles, the braveness and naivety conveyed by Fassbender from beginning to end is outstanding and we can see that he put a lot of work and thought in to this character. As for Cotillard, the rage and ambitiousness brought out from her is unique, spellbinding and an absolute spectacle to endure. However, I did find the plot failed to engage me and truly pull me in, it felt as if they were taking so much time trying to stay faithful to Shakespeare that they forget to make this story feel relevant and gratifying for an audience who might not be familiar with this material. It should have been made for a more universal audience. As well as that, a lot of the enotion felt forced, not by the actors, but from the direction, score, cinematography and so on. It felt like they were trying too hard to enforce this on us, rather than merely letting us merely get engrossed in to the drama from the performances, I understand that it is based on a play, but I thought it all could have been done with a little more subtlety. Not breathtaking, but very enjoyable. Great performances throughout, Macbeth is flawed, but I would recommend any fan of Shakespeare or these performers check it out, it is certainly worth your time.A man will stop at nothing to become king, while his wife enforces evil upon him. Best Performance: Marion Cotillard
lucindasboyd OKAY, WOW! Not to be super mean, but the first review of this movie really is deceptive! I loved this movie and am a huge fan of Macbeth so I would not say that lightly! Please take the time to watch and form your own opinions on the film!I loved the way the cast (Macbeth/ Lady MacBeth) spoke! Although it was in old Shakespearian it flowed beautifully! Lady Macbeth's (adapted) "monologue" chilled me to the bone, in the best way. I already knew what was going to happen and it still surprised me! Just watch and decide for yourself before you listen to puffed up movie critics!
gilbody-45522 Marion Cotillard is Lady Macbeth. The rest is acting and cinematography. Ms Cotillard needs to find roles that allow her to be part of the whole rather than be a brilliant light in a paleness. Then again I just watch films and get what I get from them. I hope Ms Cotillard can retain the brilliance and not be submerged in the industry.
jeffreyandreas43 I thought that on a personal level I would never subject myself to the oppression of the mind that criticism lends but here I am, my hand forced after bearing witness to this DETACHED ADAPTATION. I must say first that to ATTEMPT to modernize Shakespeare and make it appear more natural by completely reducing it to a secular rhythm, an almost monotone slow beating of the drum, an ever-present whisper, misses the mark entirely. In fact it does the complete opposite of creating realism, it lends itself to the present visual shine and tepid cinematic climate of today's artistic oppression. YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE Shakespeare MODERN AND ACCESSIBLE to today's world by removing its poetic rhythm (designed for the stage). Yet somewhere you decided to reduce it to a whisper and thus striped it of its emotional integrity. Maybe because the traditional plays are spoken loud with such great volume the director felt in order to separate from tradition you must go in completely the opposite direction. I don't know but if that was the intent you should have known better.
