Review of Macbeth

Macbeth (I) (1997)
Disappointments
18 April 2000
Warning: Spoilers
I was looking forward to this film, because I like the play and I couldn't see how it could fail. How wrong could I be. Whoever had cut the play had cut everything not vital to the character of Macbeth, losing lots of good passages. The Scottish lords were not developed and for all the reasoning it gave him *spoiler*

Macbeth could have been killed by another lord not MacDuff.

I think most of the failings in this were due to fiddling with the script as opposed to the acting but I have to say it is confusing when Sayton and Banquo look quite alike.
