Macbeth : I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

I could barely sit through this turgid adaptation. It's everything that is wrong with modern filmmaking and Shakespeare adaptations. Even the acting was terrible - you could barely hear what they said, and Shakespeare's brilliant language was spoken with zero feeling...all growls and whispers signifying nothing.

Cool story, bro. Maybe if they would have over-acted on a stage it would suit your tastes more?

Re: I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

I totally, agree! Waste of film and my time.

Re: I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

100% agree and I was so looking forward to watching this. What a waste.

"We fight and we *beep*, that's we do, that's our thing!"

Re: I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

Which perfectly describes your post.



Re: I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

Funny most people like it. You and the few on these boards must just have horrible taste

Re: I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

I totally agree with Writer Dave.

Re: I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

Having watched the BBCs The Hollow Crown plays I thought I was ready to tackle this play. Imagine my surprise that it was slow, dull with all the effort gone on the visuals and the text disappeared.

Now I am no purists when it comes to Shakespeare but I felt that I never watched Macbeth here.

It's that man again!!

Re: I'm Sorry, this was Garbage

I agree. I'll take Polanski's 1971 version any day as the definitive adaptation of this classic Shakespearean tragedy.
