I read some of the negative reviews, and I think some just didn't get it, or didn't do their homework. The visuals in this film are fantastic and the acting is outstanding, with mention to Colm Feore as Marcus, Harry J. Lennix as Aaron the Moor. Then there's Jessica Lange as the...( read more)
A very post modern version of one of Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedies, with all the well known ingredients: betrayal, murder, intrigues, revenge and revenge for revenge, really mean villains and broken heroes. The set and prop design refuses to be entirely antique or modern and ...( read more)
Very fun to watch, despise some massive flaws. Hopkins plays the role with great conviction. Jessica Lange still looks good here, and Alan Cumming makes for a great over-the-top cheesy villian, same for Harry Lennix.
A decent adaptation of Shakespeare's most bloodthirsty play, "Titus Andronicus". Julie Taymor's refusal to stick to a specific historical setting or cinematic style creates some beautiful and dazzling images, however these anachronistic and stylistic juxtapositions sometimes jar ...( read more)

My favorite revenge story of all time. I have to be in the right mood to see this, but when I am, it is glorious. The colors, the violence, the acting, the superb melding of present-day or futuristic elements with the sublime rhythm of Shakespeare's writing and the historical ele...( read more)
great movie, but you need to watch it from beginning to end, otherwise it will lose you!
Weird and stylized and creepy. Spectacular cast made grotesque. YUCK.
Jessica Lange as Tamora, the captured Goth queen, seethes with sexuality and vengeance. full review
This is the film Shakespeare's play deserves, and perhaps even a little more. full review
Julie Taymor has created a film that is as vulgar, obvious and glorious as the Shakespeare play it's based on. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Titus" !
