how do you not recognize this adaptation for the great film that it is? nvm, just go on jerking off to Star Wars
Shakespeare was the capeshit of his time.
it was just ok

>not watching Shakespeare exclusively on stage
Pleb.
It was even better than Kurosawa's Macbeth adaptation, Throne of Blood. Or even if you didn't like it, you must admit it was a great film to look at
I read Merchant Of Venice yesterday.
I want a new adaptation with Kat Dennings as Jessica.

>lead actor is a literal capeshit star
>director is currently making a movie based on a yearly video game franchise

Fuck off, OP. In many ways this new shit rendition of the play is just as bad as Star Wars, if not worse.
Polanski's adaptation is the only one that ever needed to be made. Welles's is decent too. But this? Fucking please.
Fassbender was probably suited to be Macbeth.
I'm collecting a lot of the rarer Shakespearean productions on discs actually. Henry VIII, Jane Lapotaire as Cleopatra, Chimes at Midnight, etc. I might pick this one up.

the merchant of venice with pacino is pretty excellent imo

>"hurrr muh"
wow memespeak, really incisive criticism. Truly spoken like someone who has not seen the film.
>lead actor is a literal capeshit star
ok who would you rather see play Macbeth?
>director is currently making a movie based on a yearly video game franchise
has nothing to do with this picture
>visuals and action that pander to zack snyder/ridley scott plebs
emulating ridley scott is not a bad thing. Blade Runner is a notoriously incredible looking film, as is Alien, and even Prometheus despite it being complete shit
Your criticisms amount to a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing (hehe see what I did there, so clever! --sry couldn't resist)
Reminder that Prospero's Books is the best Shakespeare film adaptation

What's with Welles surprised expression in every image of him on that poster?
post your favourite Shakespeare adaptation
this is mine
Macbeth is so fucking boring and done to death already. Seriously, out of all of Shakespeare's' plays, why not choose a different one
>>63801950
He's reacting to the flash bulbs.

This. Polanski's version is vastly superior and OP should feel bad for liking GOT MemeBeth.
>>63801519
Looking for Richard by Al Pacino is pretty decent.
saw it and loved it. raw af
>>63801126
can i download this yet
>>63801126
This movie was boring. Absolute shit. The source material doesn't make it good.
>>63801173
How fucking pleb can you be
>>63801211
Also a dumb opinion. Watch Brannagh's Hamlet or anything by Olivier

>Polanski's adaptation is the only one that ever needed to be made.
This. I'd love to see someone take on one of the huge number of Shakespeare plays that don't have a truly satisfying adaptation, but, no, we get Macbeth with ebin fight scenes.
