Macbeth

This most recent version of Macbeth isn't just bad, it's offensively bad. Fassbender and Cotillard drone their dialogue in near monotones - there is no intensity or emotion present. Indeed, apart from a few scenes, the entire film is devoid of emotional impact. There is no madness, no passion, nothing. The changes made to the text made little to no sense, and, were it not directed so beautifully, I would have one starred this. I actually started fast-forwarding after the banquet scene. So not good. 2/5
