The best encarnation of a Shakespeare story to ever hit the screen. A pleasure to watch, with masterful imagery and cinematography throughout to give the words their real romance. The witches are incredible and creative; some theorise that the Goddess Hecate was used as inspiration for a forth, child witch to give extra creep. A real epic. Should be watched on a device that is able to give the real experience, for it is a highly atmospheric movie and one must let it soak in. Therefore I would suggest watching it on a TV with great audio, for the score is an important part of the experience. Once again, I truly believe this is the greatest Shakespearean movie of all time.

The first battle was cool then they started talking. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I looked all over to see if I could get the movie in English but they said it already was. I'm a type of guy that can hold a lot back but, I do not like to be lied to. I spent a good three dollars to buy this movie just to be confused and lied to. If I had the ability to award the zero stars I would but I'm not that type of guy. P.S. I'M STARTING A PETITION TO GET THIS MOVIE IN ENGLISH!! HELP ME!!

Fabulous! Fabulous! If you like Shakespeare, Cotillard, and Fassbender, you're in for a real treat. Be prepared though, don't watch it too late at night or if you're particularly tired, it can be slow. I recommend you watch it with subtitles to get the full effect! Glut thyself on language!
