Macbeth (I) (2015)
9/10
An excellent adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most legendary works

Warning: Spoilers
This adaptation is a very accurate representation and depiction of 'Macbeth.' This film ties a critical loose end that the original work failed to. The movie continues the character progression of Fleance by including him in the very last scene. This ties up the loose end of Banquo's sons becoming kings. Also, the film very accurately portrays the setting that the story of 'Macbeth' takes place in. The movie is filled with beautiful cinematic shots of the Scottish highlands. Additionally, the film precisely depicts the intense, raw violence of middle age battle. However, the film inaccurately exaggerated the intimacy between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. And also fails to include some little things that occurred in the original, like the role of Hecate, Lady Macbeth's suicide, and the presence of Siward and young Siward.
