    It absolutely wonderful, but read Shakespeare first...that will make it much more enjoyable. Orson Wells did a great job.

    Decidedly one of Welles's lesser efforts, but what is not as good for Welles's standards is greater than most people's best. In any case, a magnificent adaptation of Shakespeare's play that suffered in its palpable lack of a decent budget. However, Welles is brilliant and the film itself does have a rather beautiful and haunting air of noir that, despite its flaws, works for it. I could've definitely lived without Jeanette Nolan, though - specially after learning it was Vivien Leigh Welles wanted for the role... how PERFECT Vivien would've been for Lady Macbeth!

    A very good movie, the lighting was very unusual, but the cuts and the camera movements were epic too. The problem was that in terms of drama, the efect wasn't fully utilised to its full, but it was still very well done, a great movie.

    The best cinematic adapation of MacBeth out there. Orson Welles was masterful and this was a fun movie to watch.

    Wow! This isn't the best Macbeth but it is really good. Not his best work but still Orson Welles at the height of his powers! A must see if you like Shakespere, and who doesn't like Shakespere, don't answer that.

    The best part was when the fight at the end-it was so lame!- and when they're waving Macbeth's head around on the pole.
