Reviews for Titus
...si esperan una versión de Shakespeare "alternativa" busquen algo light, como Romeo+Julieta, el remake relativamente reciente, pues Titus no se anda con rodeos.
02/14/02
Lacks the subtlety and subtext to make the story really work on screen.
12/10/01
Jessica Lange as Tamora, the captured Goth queen, seethes with sexuality and vengeance.

Top CriticWhether this makes for an eyeful or an eyesore depends on your tastes.

The cast is amazing.

Anyone criticizing the gruesome bloodlust of modern Hollywood might do well to ponder the body count in this play...
01/01/00
Taymor has succeeded only in creating a great - and interminable - filmic mess.
01/01/00
Too ridiculous.
01/01/00
Looks like a jumble sale featuring the work of other directors and artists.
01/01/00
A superbly acted effort to immortalize Shakespeare’s early play on the big screen.
01/01/00
The precision marching, the war-zoney madness, the uncontainable passion — are the best reasons to see Titus.
01/01/00
Full of sound and fury, signifying another entertaining cinematic addition to the Bard’s rolls.
01/01/00
Titus is a spectacle for the eyes and viscera, but also the heart and brain.
01/01/00
Many will experience this all as a mere assault on the senses, outrage for the mere sake of outrage and, for all its intellectual posturing, pretty dumb overall.
01/01/00
A further vulgarization of Shakespeare's most vulgar play.
01/01/00
Not pleasant, perhaps, and still occasionally hard to follow, but definitely an interesting piece of work that lives up to all the bloody madness Shakespeare intended.
01/01/00
Taymor has forged a well-developed, innovative construction with some remarkable acting by seasoned British performers spouting dialogue that remains true to the Bard's literary genius.
