A film of audacity and total gut-level appeal.

Taymor conjures images that are as indelible as they are wordlessly articulate.

I watched this film because of Jessica, she is definitely the Supreme. She is also perfectly casted as Tamora (the evil Queen of Goths). Hope she did more greek/roman films. Plus this film is also an another english literature movies needed to watched.

Well it certainly isn't a faithful adaptation of Shakespeare's (debataably) worst play. However, that's a good thing! I can't recall another film with so many gorgeous, horrific, poetic, and totally unforgettable images, but "Fellinisatyricon" comes to mind. This film actually has a story though, and fantastic performances from the entire, huge, ultra talented cast! Anthony Hopkins is the standout though, with his character and actions resembling one of Hannibal Lector's ancestors. Hey, this is a crazy movie that, if you're like me, you want to re-watch the second it ends! I will admit that most viewers will absolutely despise this film, and I can't really blame them, but if you're serious about film, it's a must watch! Unforgettable!

Taymor's visual and visceral flair makes Titus a grabber.

Julie Taymor's beautifully stylized but nauseatingly violent adaptation of Shakespeare's first play.

Variety
Taymor makes the action clear and easy to follow with her bold physicalization of the story and forceful direction of an astutely chosen cast.

Invoking unpleasant memories of "Caligula" (only without the sex), Titus does no justice to Shakespeare.

Titus is a visually stunning film with one of Shakespeare's classic, when I saw this movie I thought it was kind of like a mix between Brazil, 300, and Titus the Shakespeare play. Since Im a fan of surrealism,I was really happy to see all these objects that don't go together in this movie, like video games and Roman temples, It made this movie feel like it came out of the mind of some one reading the Shakespeare script. The thing that brought this movie down was the gore,but its not the movies fault the play is one of Shakespeare's bloodiest work and the movie was doing its job well. However the bottom line is its a good movie.
