I like Branagh's version better than you do apparently: I find it useful to have a complete version that is well done for reference. Sure, using the entire text is too much, but SOMEONE had to do it, and that one works pretty well almost all of the time. Slings and Arrows was really good, except for the part where the guy they thought couldn't act finally acts and everyone is impressed except me.

I also really like the Australian Macbeth from a few years ago - definitely not a purist! Another fan of the Ethan Hawke Hamlet here!
