The musical theatre version of Macbeth, which was first presented at the Old Vic in London in 1963, is finally here on video. This new version does not have the leading lady's presence, which makes the film a little uneven, but the fact that it is based on the original text and the actors have read and acted it in their own voices adds to its status. This version is a bit different, as the dialogue is more direct and is spoken in a different tone, but it is still a powerful piece of work, and one of the best of the modern era. As with the musical, there is not a lot of substance, but there is a lot of symbolism and emotional resonance to be found. The story of Macbeth is that he is a "wild beast", an extremely violent and evil king, who stalks women and children and tortures them, and in the end is challenged by his own actions. This version is more mature and violent, with a little more drama. While the acting is still great, in my opinion the supporting cast (including Richard Roxburgh) are more notable. Richard Roxburgh as Sir Gawain is an important figure in the story, and in the film he does a great job. A significant amount of the musical has been translated to the screen, and it is all good. The sets and costumes are also great. This version is great, and is worth seeing. The score is also great. But it is not a film for everyone, as there are certain elements of the story that could be more appropriately adapted. It is certainly an interesting version, and is worth seeing, but the film is not a masterpiece. The original text was so strong that it was able to carry the story of the entire play and the entire film. So the most you can say about the film is that it is a good version, but the original text was more powerful, so it should not be compared.

I enjoyed the staging of the play, and I found the story of Macbeth's transformation quite interesting. This movie was more than a recreation of the play, it was based on the book, but the screenplay was less interesting than the play. I agree with the film's statement that there were too many coincidences in the script. However, this is a serious problem with most modern adaptations. They make the movie too predictable. A good story with an interesting script will be too predictable. It was almost as if they simply rewrote the script to match the changes they made to the play. If you are going to watch this film, see the original production first, then compare the two. I did not enjoy this film as much as I enjoyed the production of Shakespeare's Macbeth. I would recommend this film only for those who have not read the play, but who may enjoy the film. Those who have read the play and would like to watch a good version of Shakespeare's play, then I would recommend this film to them. But it is not the best Shakespeare adaptation I have ever seen, and I would recommend it only for those who have read the play and would like to see a good version of Shakespeare's play.

When the last film ended in 1997, we were at the peak of the Harry Potter series, and this movie really gave us that closure. I was just as excited to see it, as I was to see the previous film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This film is good, and it does get a little intense, but it is still good. It is a good story, and it does tie the previous films up, so you can get up to speed with the main story. I recommend this film to anyone that has not read any of the books, and it is a good movie to start with. It does not pretend to be a perfect adaptation, but it does come close, so if you have not read the books, and you are interested in seeing the films, I recommend this film to you.

This is a great movie for people who are not familiar with the book. It has the feeling of a real film rather than a movie of a play. A lot of people, especially fans of the play, will have a great time watching this. It has some great lines, and there are some memorable images. However, the acting is very good, and it doesn't drag. There are a few issues, however, that don't make sense. The descriptions of the women in the play are not consistent. Some are much older, and not as sexy as the original witches, whereas some are younger, and more lusty. And why is BAM NOT KAYLEIGH, the youngest witch, mentioned when Kayleth is called upon to return to the play? The play is not a tragedy, and the witches are not sinners. They are simply witches who feel they have to do something. A little less sex and a little more drama and humor would have made this a great film.

There is no doubt that Kenneth Branagh, the director of the acclaimed Shakespeare in Love, has made a worthy job of this adaptation of Macbeth. Much of the original text has been preserved, although some of the words are often misspelled and some are reworded. The staging is top notch and the acting superb. The scenery is stunning, and there is much to appreciate in the costumes, sets, lighting, and sets. Branagh and Richard Roxburgh have brought Shakespeare's text to the screen with meticulous care, and to an audience that has little experience with Shakespeare's plays. The viewer will find the dialogue, set, and the performances all engaging, and the viewer will appreciate the actors' fine work. The only real disappointment in the movie is the lack of screen time for Richard Roxburgh's Sir Walter Raleigh. His small role could have been so great. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "Macbeth: O Caso a Macbeth" ("Macbeth: The Night Before the Feast")

It's a beautiful story, based on the play by Shakespeare. I like it. The main problem I have is that, in my opinion, it is not consistent. There are three different story lines going on at the same time. The first one is of Macbeth's friends, of course. There is no reason for this story to be any different than the others. It's the same story, just different characters. The second story is the macbeth's father. It's a very important part of the story, and the main reason why Macbeth should be a king. He does not give the importance to it to be good or bad. The third story is of the witches. It's a very important part of the story. And the last story is about Macbeth's enemy, that is played by the great Sir Ian Holm. The last one is the one I like the most. It is the part that Macbeth kills the king. That's the only part that is consistent. It's the story of Macbeth's past, of his past. That is the part that was always supposed to be consistent, but it was not. This is the problem with this movie. The story is good, the acting is great. I think that this movie deserves a higher rating, but it is not consistent. If you are going to watch this movie, it is definitely not the one for you. I would rate this movie with a 7 out of 10.

I was really excited to watch this film and I am really disappointed that I missed it in the theaters. The film is pretty good and it is definitely worth seeing. The director made a great job with the cinematography. The acting was very good and it kept you on the edge of your seat. It was pretty exciting and I have seen it twice and it is still exciting to watch. The reason why this film isn't as good as it could have been is that it was very slow. The scenes were too long and they didn't really go anywhere. The scenes weren't interesting and the scene that was supposed to be about the King and the Queen was boring. I also think the director was very good at trying to make the movie seem epic. When the king was sitting in the throne room, you could tell that he was on his throne. The battle scenes were very epic and impressive. I think the director should have given the film a little more time to build up. I think this film could have been better. The characters were okay and not very interesting. I thought that the director could have done a better job with the characters. The only thing that I thought was good about the film was that it had a lot of blood and violence. This film definitely deserves a lot of praise for it's use of the camera and the cinematography. It was a very interesting and exciting film and I think it is a very good film.

So, I'm not a Shakespearean scholar. I'm not a theater expert. I'm not even a movie fan. I've only seen the movie twice. And it was only when I saw the opening titles that I remembered that I'd seen it. So I went to my local library and found the audio commentary for the play. I was surprised to find that it wasn't just an ordinary commentary. It was actually a very interesting documentary. It was like they sat around a table, talking about the play. I have to admit that I was impressed. The two guys who were responsible for the commentary were very knowledgeable about the play, and I was very impressed with them. In addition, the dialogue was well-chosen, the acting was good, and the story was very interesting. I would definitely recommend it. The fact that it was narrated by the play's original actor, Ian McKellen, was a good bonus. I'm sure that I've missed something. But I enjoyed the commentary. And I would recommend it to anyone. I'd give it a rating of 7 out of 10.

This film, directed by Raffey Cassidy, is based on the novel of the same name by William Shakespeare. In the book, Macbeth (Liam Neeson) is one of the three Princes of Orange who seeks refuge in a castle owned by Lord Glenvarloch (Ray Winstone). However, he has the intention of capturing the castle in order to release his friend, Earl Marsh (Robert Carlyle). Lord Glenvarloch is the best swordsman in the kingdom and is willing to make the castle pay. He tells Macbeth to use his own sword against Lord Glenvarloch, if he is not killed. Meanwhile, King John (Bill Nighy) and his new queen, Elizabeth (Katherine Waterson), are growing impatient with their King, who is tired of ruling the kingdom and wants to be a farmer. With the help of Lady Clare (Dame Judi Dench), Lord Glenvarloch wants to seize the castle by force and puts all of the Princes under arrest. When they learn that Macbeth is the king's son, they are not sure if they can trust him or not. Macbeth becomes a prisoner in Lord Glenvarloch's castle and becomes a spy for the enemy. He tells his friend, Earl Marsh, to throw the Princess and King away in a different castle, but he is betrayed by Earl Marsh and Earl of Warwick (Richard Briers). Earl Warwick is the best swordsman in the kingdom and wants to be King. He says that he would kill the Princess, but the two lovers refuse. Macbeth returns to the castle and finds the Princess and the King in the castle's cellar. However, Earl Warwick is still alive and wants to take the castle with the help of Lady Clare. Macbeth learns of this and he is about to be betrayed by his friend Earl Warwick. However, he is saved by Lady Clare, Earl Warwick and Lady Odo (Amanda Bynes). Macbeth has to fight his way out of the castle. The film was very good. It is a drama with a political twist. The story is good, the acting is good, the music is good and the direction is good. I am surprised that this film is not higher on the IMDb's list. It deserves more attention. This film is not for everyone, but it is good for some people.

This is the best performance of Robert Culp (and he's only about three-quarters of the way through his role). He gets to be in the lead role in a Shakespearean play, and then the Shakespearean play gets killed off. Then the play starts again, and Robert Culp goes to the chorus to sing the real Macbeth, and the rest of the production is told by the film crew. In the film, the play is so long that the actors have to do it twice. The result is that, in the original play, the play is shown in two different ways. In the film, it's shown in three different ways. It's a great performance, and it's a great film.

I'm not sure why this movie has such a high rating. In my opinion it is a decent film but not a great one. The film starts out strong, although the plot is really weak. In the end I think it is a great movie and I would say that it deserves more than 7 out of 10. The acting is good. The characters are all good. The whole thing is nicely done and the lighting is excellent. However, I think the characters are a bit overdrawn. I would have liked a little bit more development. The characters all feel a bit like caricatures of Shakespeare's characters. They are all broad stereotypes. They are not interesting or believable. I think the story is good, but I think that the acting is way off. In the end, this movie is a little bit better than it deserves. I would say that it is worth watching, but not a masterpiece.

Now here is a very young, immature and yet very capable actor, here I see a real potential of his career. What I have to say is that there are two aspects of this film, the first one is the music. For me the songs, as I have heard them, are very strong and make you feel like you are in the play. The second part of the film is the film itself. This film is not just a film. It is more a dramatic experience with some strong songs. The film was directed by James Marsh. He has a new talent, as I have always said. He also directed Hamlet in 2009. The music in this film is powerful and emotional, in fact I was in tears at the end of the film, when the singer of the opera called for the execution of Hamlet. The music is powerful, powerful and powerful. I really recommend this film, as I think it is a very good choice for young people. As I have said, it is a very strong film, however I think that the film could have been much stronger. The film is not very predictable, but in a way it is. I think that the music and the film could have been much better. I would give the film 7/10. To be honest, I have not seen it in theatres. I have seen it on VHS and DVD and I have to say that the film is very good. It is not as good as "Hamlet", but I would say that it is still very good. For me the film is worth to see and if you like this film I would recommend you to see it. I am going to see it again, because I think that it is good and I think that it is very strong film. Go and see it.

Director David Mamet's 2007 film Macbeth is perhaps his best film to date. Like many other Mamet films, the film follows the life of Macbeth, who is in his mid-twenties and is the son of King Duncan and Queen Guinevere. However, his father has died, leaving the king with no heir. The king decides to marry his daughter Elizabeth of England, as well as his two brothers, Prince Charles and Prince Phillip, to get a heir, but he is murdered and his daughter Elizabeth is the heir. When Macbeth is twelve years old, he and his brother Prince Phillip go off to England to try and get the heir, but Macbeth gets to the point where he believes he is right, and he is determined to get the king to stay dead. If you are expecting a deep movie with a lot of themes, you will be disappointed. In fact, the movie is rather simple, but the movie is very well done. Mamet does a great job of making the film feel very theatrical and not too serious. The story is very well done, and I would highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a movie that is very dramatic and that's very different from the usual movie. If you are looking for a movie that is very good, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a movie that is entertaining, with a great story, and is more than just a drama, I would highly recommend this film.

After a lot of bickering, distaste and anger in the theatre, I finally felt like a TV audience. With such an uninspiring cast, I could hardly wait for it to end. This film was horrible. If you're going to do a play with Shakespeare, you should be able to make it watchable. In fact, I think Macbeth should be shot and burned. The way that they went about the play was tedious and boring. One minute, a man with a broken leg and the next it's a blind guy who's had his eye surgically removed. Then, the whole story is suddenly changed. A blind man and his daughter, who have grown up together, meet again and it's the blind man who's turned into a killer. He's killed so many people that the theatre doesn't want to show it. I was very disappointed with this movie. I wanted to see some more interesting people in it, but they weren't in it. The acting was mediocre and the story was ridiculous. I was expecting to see a decent play with a good director, but I got a lousy movie.

The performances are the most important factor in any production. It is always a very difficult task to find actors who can portray the characters in a realistic way. This is exactly what the casting director has to do with the lead characters of this production. The actors who played the Macbeth's have given the most convincing performances. Hugh Grant as Edmund is the one that stands out the most. His character was very detailed and the performances of the other actors in this production is good as well. This is a very good production. This is one of the few productions of Shakespeare's plays that is well done. I highly recommend this production. If you are a fan of the play, you will love this production. This is one of the best Shakespeare productions ever made.

After finishing his first play in school I was excited to go see this film, the music was wonderful, and the cast was perfect for the story. I am now glad that I saw it, I enjoyed it immensely. It has a great story and is well written. I also liked the performances of the actors, especially Heath Ledger who played the role of King Duncan and really surprised me. He was amazing and I think he deserved his Oscar. The film has a great beginning, which is a bit slow but interesting, and the end is a bit unbelievable but it made sense and it ended the film nicely. I really enjoyed it and I recommend it to anyone who has seen the play, but if you don't know it you may not enjoy it as much. I think everyone will like this film, the only thing I didn't like was the ending, I think it was a bit of a let down.

As with all BBC shows, I am not sure how accurate this is to the original play. Some of the details are more accurate, but I feel it is still a good adaptation of the play. I think the cast were good and the production was decent. The direction was very good. There was an interesting twist near the end, which I think would have been better if there had been more screen time with the two main actors. Overall, I think it was a good show, though not a perfect one.

I haven't read the novel, but I thought this was a pretty good film adaptation. It's not as scary as I expected, but it's not as good as I expected. This isn't as great as "The Last House on the Left" or "Animal Farm". "Last House" was great, but it had great performances. I think that this was one of the better films I've seen lately, but it was not great.

Here we have a Shakespearean comedy from the 30s that is not as silly as the stage production but has a more serious plot. There are some great laughs and I can see why this is a hit. It has a good cast and good writing, and there are some great performances by some of the best British actors. One of the best things about the production is that it is very slow. I think a lot of people in the audience are tired of this, because they were expecting a lot more. I think that this makes the plot more complex and interesting, and I think that it is important to have a slow pace. If you are in a good mood, go see this production.

I first watched this on a cable channel and I thought it was okay. The acting was good, and the actors did a good job in playing these roles. However, I didn't find the plot very compelling and the story line a bit too predictable. The ending was a bit lame and it left a lot to be desired. I think this is one of the best "3/4" films of this type. I would recommend this film to anyone that wants to watch a film that is not too dark or too bloody. The cast and crew did a good job on this film and it is a very interesting look at the Shakespearean literature.

After watching the video of this, I thought I would watch the play itself. My own experience with Shakespeare is quite limited, but I've always enjoyed the play. So, when I came across this, I was quite excited. And, being a fan of the play, I was curious as to how it would compare to the original play. I have to say, it wasn't as bad as I had expected. The DVD is well put together and gives you the opportunity to see it at a distance. I thought the production was good, and there were no stand out performances. However, the set pieces were excellent, and the editing was excellent. So, I give it 7 out of 10. If you are a fan of Shakespeare, you will probably like this. But, if you are not, it's probably better to wait until it comes on TV. I think this is a good option for a rainy day.

The idea that this film is a dark comedy, then at first glance it might look like a joke. Then, it's just a movie. What you see, is the same thing as what you get. Yes, there are many jokes, but that's not all that's great about this film. The story is interesting, and the cinematography is good. It's a little bit long, but the movie really isn't. If you want to see a great British film, watch "Madame Bovary" or "The Perfect Wave" instead. If you want to see a film about a drama, watch "Cider House Rules" instead.
