Movie Reviews of Titus
Movie Review: The poor reviews of this film are unjustified.
Summary: 5 Stars
Any art lover will tell you that this film is indeed art. I saw it on cable several years ago and was blown away. I am adding to my library and was searching for this film. I am pleased to purchase it today and have it to share with like minds.Movie Review: My favorite Shakespeare film!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is the greatest Shakespeare film made for a current audience. Julie Taymor is brilliant, and her cutting is superb.Movie Review: Whoa!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was CR-AA-ZEE! I swear I'd watch it again! I do like Anthony Hopkins, but my main reason to queue this one up was that consummate scene-stealer, Harry Lennix! Dude kicks ass in everything he's in, so I was expecting no surprises from him, but I had NO idea what I was in for! It's Shakespeare, okay, but a lot of strange things have been done with Shakespeare of late--this was no exception. I couldn't figure out if it was ancient or 20th century Rome, a video game or what. Ms Taymor has one wild imagination! The Bard of Avon has dealt with dysfunctional families before, we know, but this gang here? WOW! And do yourself a favor and head for the printed page to re-read and read between some of those classic 16th century lines--Shakespeare must've been one helluva troublemaker! The best line--and does Mr Lennix ever deliver it!--(when Goth queen, Tamora's crazy sons get all hyped up when the nurse brings in hers and Aaron, the Moor's "issue" -- oops! seems Momma was a rollin' stone!):
DEMETRIUS: Villain, what hast thou done?
AARON: That which thou canst not undo.
CHIRON: Thou hast undone our mother.
AARON: Villain, I have done thy mother.
YEEOUCH! Too cold! And things just go further outta control after that. The weirdness is definitely one of the things that will keep you watching. Prepare yourselves for a wild ride!
Movie Review: A wretched Shakespeare play made good?
Summary: 4 Stars
My reaction on reading the play "Titus Andronicus" with the flesh pie ending was disgust.The wretched and bitter revenge of the Empire as a play witnessed by the grandson of Titus Andronicus. Vengence is a large dead family that falls upon Rome.
This play is Shakespeare's send down of the Roman Empire.
The acting and staging are modern and relatively well done.
It is a tragedy of really bad ( Roman Titus and family) and worse (Goth Tamora, Moore Aaron and sons).This play should turn us all from the conquests of Empire.
Movie Review: New take on a very old play
Summary: 4 Stars
Titus is a good adaption of Shakespeares bloodiest play. There is no exact time era set up for the film. It seems to do whatever tells the story the best. If a surreal flashback with tigers got the idea across best that is what they used. That makes this a very origional adaption that is moving from start to finish. This film has a few moments that I watch over and over just to get the chills down my spine. I do not care for the main actress but I felt the rest of the cast was phenominal. great film.
