Fans of Shakespeare will love this, as for me, like most other things done by him I found it hard to get involved with.

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2016)

"It is a tale, told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing." Macbeth (Fassbender) is a soldier who has just been told by a trio of witches that one day he will become king. This becomes the only thought in his mind and when he talks with his wife (Cotillard) he fulfills his own prophecy by killing the king. I have to start by admitting I am not a Shakespeare fan at all. I can't really even explain why but there is just something about his stories that I do not connect with. This one is no different. The acting is great and the plot is very interesting and exciting but I really struggled to get into it. Fans of Shakespeare will love this, as for me, like most other things done by him I found it hard to get involved with and my mind really began to wander. Overall, a good movie, just not for me. I give this a B-.
