User Reviews

one of the best modern shaespearian adaptations, see some great acting & experience these timeless characters in new light

Fantastic performances all around taking from stage to a wonderful cinematic production

Manel Moya Lacruz

One of the best Shakespeare adaptations. McKellen gave a stellar performance.

Angelos Loukatos

Ian McKellen's performance alone is enough motivation to watch Richard III.

Alan John Gerstle

Concept that Richard III is modern fascist dictator. So high concept, Shakespeare appears missing. Production tries too hard.

He’s just so evil! Very well done in the more modern time period.

A modernized Shakespeare story may the best Richard III made. McKellen is mesmerizing. The settings and costuming radiate.

Jackson Wilburn

Ending was so amazing. However the side charachters performances and charachters in general were flat.

A deliciously devilish Richard and an interesting change of setting to WWII. To quote Kyle Kallgren, “Shakespeare with tanks, I love this!”

Michael Margetis

Ian McKellan is excellent.
