i mean it i got interested into this film after reading some reviews & the poster looked cool even the story sounded awesome its not Hollywood its from Australian cinema i have read Shakespeare & seen a few films based on his plays & as someone on the boards here said in a sarcastic manner that this guy Shakespeare writes the best movies ever of course that is true i agree Shakespeare maybe gone centuries ago but his legacy continues however when you adapt something from someone who is considered a legend in literature you need to be careful it is not joke honestly William Shakespeare will never be the same again this has created a bad impact on my mind.
Macbeth 2006 is a film adapted from one of the plays Shakespeare wrote this is a modern take on it i mean the guns,girls,gangs etc usual stuff thrown in just for the attraction it focuses more on the style then substance i found the grittiness & sharpness in the characters absolutely missing they are so dull i mean anyone who has ever read Shakespeare will agree that this film tried to mock him.
the plot:Macbeth is a drug-lord/gangster who is the leader of one of the gangs in Melbourne Australia this is the story of how he falls.
look at here these guys didn't even show his rise to the top there is no back story or whatever of how he became a bad guy they simply made him extra tragic then he ever was the script was good but ruined by terrible direction Macbeth lives in a large mansion with heavy security hes got witches & his very own lady Macbeth.
Macbeth dresses more like a playboy or film star then a gangster his love angle with lady Macbeth is rather weird then interesting just how can Macbeth got to other ugly women when he has the hottest lady Macbeth with him the guy is dumb or what he makes wrong choices most of the time no wonder he ends up in a mess.
the cast:Sam Worthington looks hot here long hair style suits him this was before he came to Hollywood i saw him in avatar 2009 great actor but sadly he is misused here,rest cast is wasted except few women but the one that deserves getting mentioned is Victoria Hill this lady is stunning & beautiful plus she can act damn well too i wish she was more famous.
if anyone is expecting this to be a stylish slick flick get ready to be disappointed this does feature gunfight,car chases & some sex & nudity but the who project is badly shot the camera work is awful it looks like a below average 90s porno film with unnecessary blood the only good thing are the kissing scenes between Macbeth & lady Macbeth that is the only time camera sits down properly other then that rest of the film is shaky cam or gorilla style & too dark have these guys ever heard of lights i mean common & who is the sound mixer of this film the music completely overshadows the dialogs a lot of background noise i simply lost interest in this film but kept watching only because of Victoria Hill & Sam Worthington it got me bored.
the film can't decide which genre it wants to be in the constant shifting of tones was annoying it is one weird movie i tell you bad guys can summon themselves out of nowhere as for Macbeth one moment he is sad & another he is instantly hitting the clubs & going to parties just what was going on here the filmmakers tired to blend way too much Gothic themes in here & failed i kept thinking who is Macbeth supposed to be is he even a human or some vampire this film just wanted to be something like director Tim Burton makes.
Overall Macbeth 2006 will go down in history as a desperate & most terrible idea to adapt a Shakespeare play into the big screen my rating is 3/10.
