@@sonwalrez2842 Really you'd expect Macbeth to be the better fighter and stronger man, he's fought more and he's a renowned warrior of the Scots. The reason he is beaten is due to fate, his weird (or waird for the scots) is that Macduff will kill him, and his own actions have already decided this, and cannot change it. Any other man would simply have been another notch on his blade, any man but Macduff would have fallen like all those that came before. I quite like the Fassbender version from 2015. Macbeth defeats Macduff, and his him at his mercy, but once he finds out that he's been entrapped by the fates, and cursed to fall, he simply gives up and refuses to fight the vengeful Macduff, because it doesn't matter what he does, eventually Macduff, or someone like him, will end Macbeth as the consequences for his actions. Macbeth was a peerless warrior by his characterization, we don't really know much about the character of Macduff though, I think that the former simply giving into his fate better represents the narrative given, and how the consequences of their betrayal truly inescapable for Macbeth or his wife, to the point they essentially (or literally in the case of Lady MB) end their own lives because of it..

He's like a petulant little brat, unwilling to share his toy, even though his 'toy' has soured and ruined him and his life completely. If he can't have it, no one can....

Honestly Denzel's depiction of Macbeth as a weak, incorrigible man is one of the finer interpretations. Other actors have portrayed him with some manner of grace or remaining dignity, courage in the face of his defeat up until he is smited, and dies in shock or despair. But this Macbeth? He's pitiable. Truly tragic, a man petulant and utterly drained of his majesty. Even his death is of a lesser note.

“I will not yield, and kiss the ground at young Malcolm’s feet….” That line gets me every single time I hear it, no matter which version of Macbeth it is.

Macbeth’s death was, in an odd way, both very sad and well-deserved. That’s why it’s a tragedy, I guess, because his life could’ve been so much better if he had remained loyal to Duncan. But he made a foolish mistake and committed a series of unforgivable murders that made it necessary and even proper for him to be killed as he had killed others. The one who resorted to murder was himself murdered. There was no one to come who would avenge his death, and rightly so.

Corey kills Denzel? That’s a big passing the torch moment! Kudos!

I've seen a few interpretations of this final fight, The Roman Polanski film, Patrick Stuart's version and this one. But this version is the only of the bunch that shows Macbeth's feverish attention towards his ill gotten crown.

I love Denzel's performance. He gets that Shakespeare is all about the rhythm of the language but he maintains his unique qualities as an actor

It was prophesied that Macbeth would not be killed by a man born of a woman, so when he heard that Macduff was born through a C-section he realized that this fight that is destined to be his last. In spite of that, he decides to go through with the fight rather than bend the knee to the rightful heir Malcom; either he will defy fate itself or go down in a blaze of glory.
