I enjoyed the second movie scene more becauseit seemed more casual and it really caught my eye because you dont know what is going to happen next.I also liked it because it was simple and it didnt follow the trends of most witch scenes.

The beach seemed like an unlikely place to cast a spell which is why I enjoyed the second movie scene more.So in conclusion these movies are very different in the ways they portrayed the witch scenesat the beginning of Macbeth.
