It's interesting to look at all the adaptions of Shakespeare's classic plays. This is regarded as one of the lesser versions and it's easy to see why. This film comes across as awkward because it has this weird way of changing its tone. About halfway through, it started to show everything in light whereas most of the film was literally covered in darkness. It doesn't seem appropriate for a Shakespeare adaptation. I admit to not being that familiar with "Macbeth" at least not as much as "Romeo And Juliet". I thought the leading actor was the same guy who played Daryl from "The Walking Dead"! Then again, it's probably just because I recently saw and reviewed that too.
Now, it is interesting to see the story being retold in a modern setting. At the same time, it's still hard to capture the spirit. I especially don't like the very end where it just becomes a clichéd gun fight. It was pretty hard to follow at times and for the most part, it didn't really give anything new to the story. There have been a lot better and some worse adaptations here. I guess the colors just come off as gaudy and annoying. **
