Macbeth is beautifully shot movie, amazing cinematography with fantastic cast.
But it's near unwatchable (watching it right now) because of the insanely tedious and confusing heavy Shakespearean speak. Communication is key in telling a story, and they went a tad far in this with so heavy handed dialogue that it leaves you detached from the story.
I know it's about staying authentic to the prose of the source material. But should left it at theater stage and not in a full feature flick without an ounce of modern common English in there. Kind of alienates you from the world when so much effort is needed to fully get what they saying nonstop (even if it gets easier later).
