Staying up to watch a Macbeth movie with Patrick Stewart in the middle of the night is a potentially disastrous idea. Staying up to watch this movie while having taken ambien right before it comes on is still more disastrous.
Fortunately....this looks to be pretty mediocre. Stewart is a very mannered Macbeth, adapting a very subtle and totally unconvincing Scottish burr and toning down his voice in an attempt to sound like a weary soldier, but instead he just sounds 85. The witches are plainly nonthreatening, and Lady Macbeth looks like she wandered in from Real Housewives of DC.
I'll stick with Orson Welles and Ian McKellen (especially for Judi Dench's incredible Lady)
