Branagh Should Go Back to Doing Shakespeare

Are his skills as a director really needed?

Martin Scorsese and Kenneth Branagh to bring another adaptation of MACBETH to cinemas??!

Michael Fassbender can prove his acting skills in his version of Macbeth.

Still, Branagh kept a more traditional version of Cinderella (no girl power); small wonder the feminists and manginas don't like it, while Fr. Robert Barron does: Kenneth Branagh’s Very Christian Cinderella. (See also Daniel McInerny.)

This review must not be alone; plenty of parasites who would like to subvert traditional Western mores:
Cinderella review: Disney and Kenneth Branagh's straight-faced remake is TOO perfect to be truly magical



Still, even though traditionalists may be sympathetic to this movie and its contribution to the culture war, should we give more money to Disney? At least there are no annoying songs in this one.
