Mick LaSalle

A film of audacity and total gut-level appeal. Read full review

Desmond Ryan

Visually brilliant and thought-provoking. Read full review

John Petrakis

Once you get used to the broad gestures, visual stylings and reach-for-the-sky emotions, you may find yourself luxuriating in this movie's undeniable grandeur. Read full review

Jack Mathews

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

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Much of it is inspired, some of it is downright awful, but it does entertain, even as it threatens to drown its generally fine cast in a flood of blood and sundry body parts. Read full review

Staff [Not Credited]

There's a lot to talk about but so much outrageousness that the end effect is wearying and not a little absurd. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

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

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.

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.… Expand
