So was this Kino, fake-kino, pretentious kino, or a decent

It was a faithful adaptation of Macbeth. If you like the Bard, it was Kino. If you don't, it was unwatchable nonsense.

Kino.

It was a good adaption made great by cinematography and music. Even if I didn't understand every word they were saying (or understand every intricate element of the plot, since its been so long since high school), I still enjoyed it

A failed experiment. Shakespearian dialogue doesn't work in that sort of "gritty", naturalistic delivery. Also there were some strange omissions and deviations from the play

Polanski's version is still the best (I don't count Throne of Blood)

The film looked good but it was a terrible adaptation.

The inclusion of the scene at the start where they are putting their dead baby on a funeral pyre, and the way they portray Lady Macbeth's madness towards the end, completely changes the circumstances surrounding the Lady's character and in doing so completely changes the interpretation of the story. They ruined Lady Macbeth by portraying her as someone suffering the loss of a child (which didn't occur in the play) rather than someone who intentionally represses her conscience and thereby suffers from the denial of what she knows to be wrong.

The scene where she's supposed to be sleep-walking and her repressed conscience is bubbling to the surface from her subconscious is replaced by her being wide awake and staring longingly at the ground while imagining her dead child (that wasn't in the book). The film treated her as a victim of mental instability caused by a previous tragedy rather than an unscrupulous manipulator whose ambition instigated the horrors of the story. The film attempts to entirely relieve her of culpability.

I didn't mind the delivery of the dialogue.

It wasn't that faithful, it give them a dead child to be their motivation. And it completely twists the 'is this a dagger I see before me' monologue.
