First of all, this is not a film, it's an experience

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 2015)

One of Shakespeare's classic tales has been brought to a whole new level, as we enter the real dark world of Macbeth and the pain, guilt, and bloodshed forged from this mind blowing masterpiece. A soon as the film begins we are in the middle of a battle. We're not watching it, we're in it. The heart pounding sounds of the soldiers, the marvellous editing, makes the audience feel in the battle as you hear the fighting commence.
Michel Fassbender gives a breath taking performance with power, and passion, along with an excellent cast behind him. With such passion in their tone, we instantly listen to the poetic dialogue especially from the voices of Fassbender, Harris, and Debicki. The music within the film is so powerful and moving it creates the exact atmosphere that we are thinking, and creates the dark and tragic themes of the story. There are also moments that are so beautiful, such as the battle scenes which you just admire.
Although we do not see the manipulative Lady Macbeth as in the original story, and we have Macbeth as a much stronger and fearful character that has no weakness, at all. All been said, this is still a brilliant adaptation.
This is an absolute must see, even if you have to drive to another town to see it. This is a 9/10 and strongly recommended to all Shakespeare lovers.
