	Goldenthal: Titus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Her adaptation of Shakespeare's text was brilliant in itself, and her staging of the film in a sort of timeless version of Rome with gladiators intermingling with motorbikes, togas with leathers, beyond brilliant.
		Titus Andronicus is a Roman warrior who has captured the goth Tamora and her two sons.
		Throughout, Titus becomes increasingly mad, unable to cope with everything that is happening, but at the same time hatching a diabolical plot for revenge of his own.

	MMI Movie Review: Titus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Titus Andronicus was William Shakespeare's first big hit.
		In the new film "Titus," director Julie Taymor is out to prove why you must never overlook the Bard.
		Right through the tube, which is where the film begins, as a young boy being buffeted by television violence is transported to Imperial Rome to find his toy action figures have become real and the violence full of consequences.

	Titus - Nitrate Online Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		That Titus or his arch-enemy, the Queen of Goths Tamora (Jessica Lange), for all their ghastliness, appears to be occasionally sympathetic or at least understandable (acting out of grief as much as ambition) says something about our capacity for forgiveness of identification.
		Titus sees through the ruse, however, and uses it as his opportunity to wreak havoc on the Goths he despises so absolutely.
		For the rest of you, who've seen a movie or two, this turn of events leads directly to the movie's most horrific sight gag, wherein Titus serves a meal to Tamora and Saturninus and appears as nothing less than Hannibal Lecter dressed in chef's attire, hat cocked and cutlery brandished.

	Disney Movie Classics :: Titus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Somehow she manages not to let this movie slip into a bloody splatter genre but by using many gothic elements and with the incredible cast (Hopkins as T.A.!), Titus remains to be one of the best Shakespeare movie adaptions ever.
		Titus is Julie Taymore's version of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, a tragedy with no heroes, no lessons, no values, but with great style, and with more than enough blood, murder, revenge, rapes, beheadings and mutilations.
		And there is Titus himself, full of pride and righteousness, who endures tragedy that leads to the death of most of his remaining sons, the rape and mutilation of his daughter and his disgrace.

	Movie Review: 'Titus'
		The movie re-creates Taymor's 1995 theatrical version of Shakespeare's grisliest play, "Titus Andronicus," which begins with a human sacrifice and ends with the 16th-century equivalent of fava beans and a nice chianti.
		Titus sows the seeds of his own destruction by ignoring the pleas of the captive Goth Queen, Tamora (Jessica Lange, who more than holds her own with the Brits in the cast) and ordering the ritual sacrifice of her first-born son.
		At times, the movie explodes into abstract images the director says are meant to portray the interior landscapes of the mind.

	TITUS; Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange, Julie Taymor, William Shakespeare
		Titus, however, feels dishonored that his children would defy his command for her to marry.
		This could be seen as an attempt to use Shakespeare’s Titus as a commentary to the degradation in contemporary culture, or perhaps to illustrate the immortality of the bard’s genius.
		Regardless, Titus seems more focused on the flaky modern overlay and graphic depiction of violence than with the attempt of the play to shed light on the corruption of government and the personal abuse of power to kill.

	Titus Movie Review
		It is not regarded as one of his better plays, but the story of an honorable warrior at odds with a spiteful Queen is nonetheless an ambitious and epochal tale of valor, vengeance and vindication.
		We also meet the brother of Titus (Colm Feore); Titus's four sons; and Aaron the Moor (Harry Lennix), another schemer who is like a tutor to Tamora's two sons.
		The climax of the film is a hauntingly beautiful scene at a crossroads where Titus has finally exhausted all patience, and his loyalties have all but dissipated.

	Titus: Special Edition (1999)
		Titus (Hopkins) is a noble Roman general whose spoils of war included Tamora, Queen of the Goths (Lange), and her three sons.
		Movies can either remain fairly faithful to the original and just spice up the proceedings with cinematic accoutrements, or they can take a completely different path, one that portrays Shakespeare's work in a new manner.
		She adds a great deal of useful information about the movie; from interpretation to anecdotes about the shoot to changes she made to the script and to the original play, Taymor provides a strong understanding of the work.

	Titus (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Titus Andronicus (Anthony Hopkins) throws his support behind the wrong man for emperor, leading to years of torment and suffering for his family.
		Titus, by first-time feature director and successful Broadway director Julie Taymor (“The Lion King”), is easily the most successful of the original language interpretations.
		“Titus Andronicus” is probably Shakespeare’s bloodiest play, and the film is not for the extremely faint of stomach.

		Titus chooses the eldest son of Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, who has been brought back to Rome as a captive with her three sons and the Moor, Aaron, to be sacrificed.
		Though Tamora pleads for her son’s life, Titus carries out the ritual, not out of cruelty but out of what he conceives to be religious devotion.
		Titus faithfully supports the new emperor, the spoiled and corrupt Saturninus, who surprises everyone by taking the seductive and alluring Tamora for his wife—and act that shocks and unsettles Titus and further enrages Titus’s family, causing the disoriented Titus to kill one of his own sons in the dispute.

	Titus: Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		Titus has some problems in its first 30-40 minutes, but I think that's more because Julie Taymor is throwing a kitchen sink of images and sounds at the viewer; it's like being stuck in the middle of no man's land on a battlefield.
		Titus Andronicus (Hopkins) has brought home the spoils of war, including the captured Tamora (Lange) Queen of the Goths and her family.
		That "sense" hurts Titus, because it means that despite everything tossed on the screen, including numerous speaking roles and subplots I've left out, Hopkins and Lange (and Taymor) have managed to keep the basic thread of "you killed mine, I'll kill yours" on track until the bloody conclusion.

		Titus is one of those movies where you really FEEL for the main character, and he keeps getting screwed over, and screwed over, until the very ending.
		The movie itself was extremely well done, and very macabre in nature.

	Movie Review - Titus - eFilmCritic
		When Titus' daughter refuses to marry Saturninus, he instead takes up the marriage bed with the Goth Queen Tamora, who refuses to forgive Titus for killing her son.
		In Titus, as Hopkins powers in and pounds his chest and delivers line after line with the passion and energy few are capable of, he's flanked by noticeable lightweights.
		Titus is Gladiator for the educated, and if you're not educated yet, this is a good start.

	Titus: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Titus, which marks the directorial debut of Julie Taymor (better known for her Tony Award winning Broadway version of "The Lion King"), is a film based on Shakespeare's earliest play, "Titus Andronicus".
		Having had success with her staged version of the play in 1995 in New York, Taymor states during an interview that the play's treatment of the elements of drama, violence and dark comedy offers modern spectators an intriguing portrayal of the poetics of tragedy, now via the filmic medium.
		Titus' position of power, however, is suddenly jeopardized when the corruptible Saturninus (Alan Cumming) becomes emperor and unexpectedly empowers a vengeful Tamora.

		While "Titus" is certainly one of Shakespeare's least memorable and most ridiculous plays (he wrote it years before he became The Bard), this adaptation is far and beyond one of the most stylistically impressive films I've seen in a long time.

		Based on Shakespeare's TITUS ANDRONICUS (one of the Bard's lesser-known and most gruesome works), director Taymor (Broadway's THE LION KING) brings this adaptation to life with dazzling imagery and haunting immediacy.
		Titus (Hopkins) is a victorious Roman general who makes two mistakes: supporting the wily Saturninus (Cumming) as the new Emperor, and wronging Tamora, Queen of the Goths (Lange), by killing her eldest son.
		Murder follows murder as the tides of fate change, as Tamora is aided by her two reckless sons and her Moor lover, Aaron (Lennix).

		Titus Andronicus is perhaps Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy; some measure of its matter can be gleaned from a single stage-direction: "Enter the empress' sons with Lavinia, her hands cut off, and her tongue cut out, and ravished." (Act II, scene iv).
		The character of Titus has been played by important actors such as Laurence Olivier, Brian Cox, Anthony Sher and Anthony Hopkins, and is increasingly being regarded as one of the great Shakespearean roles.

		Julie Taymor's film adaptation, called "Titus," does not, for the most part, pretend to be anything more than the horror story Shakespeare wrote.
		Titus, enraged at being disobeyed, kills one of his sons and is ready to kill the rest of them before Saturninus stops him: Turns out he's in love with the widowed Tamora (Jessica Lange) anyway, and wants to marry her instead of Lavinia, no offense.
		Titus chops off his own hand in exchange for the lives of his sons, who have been taken prisoner on trumped-up charges and who are then killed anyway.

	Film review Titus, Aug. 17, 2000
		The play seems like a big shiny action movie that is more about the blood and guts than the story; an Elizabethan era popcorn movie, an audience-pleaser for the whalebone corset crowd.
		The movie begins as Titus (Anthony Hopkins) - followed by his soldiers, his 21 dead sons and his four living ones - returns victorious to Rome from a war with the Goths.
		This movie is not for the faint of heart (or stomach) but it is an interesting, if blood-soaked look at one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays.

	Titus
		The Romans under the command of General Titus (Anthony Hopkins, Mission Impossible 2, Instinct) is returning victorious from his conquest of the Goths.
		Her campaign involves slowly ripping apart Titus' family, literally, in the case of his daughter Lavinia (Laura Fraser, Virtual Sexuality, Cousin Bette).
		These actions drive Titus to retaliate, and the results are both disgusting and funny.

		Titus returns victorious from war, only to plant the seeds of future turmoil for himself and his family.
		Jessica Lange, as the mother of the captive Titus cruelly dismembers, seethes with subtle, pent-up anger as she plots her revenge against Titus and his family.
		`Titus' may definitely not be for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, but the purely modern way in which the original play is presented in this particular film version surely underlines the timelessness that is Shakespeare.

		Through a misjudgment on the part of Titus (not his last), Tamora finds herself empress of Rome alongside emperor Saturninus (Alan Cumming), and from her new perch of power vows secret revenge upon Rome and everyone in it.
		There's a scene in which Titus' hand (and his two sons' heads) are delivered back to him and Taymor puts the gory items inside a sort of musical circus wagon, complete with a little girl who puts out chairs for the lucky spectators.
		Not to mention the bloodbath of a climax in which, among other things, Titus cuts Tamora's sons' throats, drains their blood, and bakes it into a pie, which he serves to the emperor and empress.
