Throne of Blood Ryan Perry

I thought that this movie was much better than the first one we watched. The beginning was my favorite part because it had less of the crazy wife, and more spirit and warrior interactions. The movie started getting annoying when the the crazy wife started making the main character do whatever she wanted, which in turn made him eventually get killed by his own men. I understand that this is based off of a Macbeth but it doesn't change the fact that the wife lady made me want to slap her the whole movie.

The final 30 minutes of the movie i thought were drawn out a just a little too long. I could have told you everything that was going to happen from the time that the he saw the spirits the second time, until the end. I thought that it made the movie somewhat more anticlimactic, due to the slow unfolding of events after it was clear that the guy was getting ready to get killed. Just kill him and end the movie and it would have been better to me.

All in all it was a good movie based on a famous story; it was just a little too long for me. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
