How can you make Macbeth boring, well this is how. It had good bits but overall what a snore. I cannot believe how bad this was and I don't know why it's so bad though. The other three were really good (especially the first one Much Ado About Nothing) This is probably the 5th worst drama I have ever, ever, ever seen. I must admit that it was a very good beginning but ti wen't wacky and boring. I gave up halfway through. I like the play though. Shakespeare retold had defiantly lost their minds or fell asleep doing this. If you can't get to sleep and want to, I have something for you. I'm watching it tonight because I have it on tape. I can't usually sleep sometimes when I'm excited.
