Ackbar-2's rating
All in all I have little words to describe how awful this movie is. While I watched it I had the sensation that could ONLY be described as having my face melted like that bad guy from "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". I think that our friend PITOF (what sort of name is this!?) probably opened the Lost Ark and filmed its content, that's the only explanation. I saw "Ninja Force", "Psychocop", "Dreamcatcher", "Tank Girl" and the worst peat of all time (until now), "Manos, the Hands of Fate", and, all you MST3k fans out there like me, I'm sorry to inform, this IS the WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I believed in Manos until I saw this. Make way for Catwoman up to worst #1! The chosen one that would beat Manos is finally here!
No spoilers here.
This is a Shakespeare play, and this one is no comedy, I must say. Shakespeare liked the Rome background, and exploited it quite, though with some anachronysms, and, in this one, a victorious general, Titus, returns to Rome amidst the succession dispute following the death of the Caesar. Soon he will be entangled in a vicious plot.
Yes, Titus is the early, sensational, Shakespeare play, but, it displays to us what can be most dreadful in human nature. A story of vengeance like I've never seen, I felt myself tossed to the pits of utter filth when I first read it. It's violent, violent, violent and simple, yet, not cheesy. It's a kind of violence that you wouldn't ever see in action-packed movies with bullets afly.
The movie can hold you to your seat if you have watched other Shakespeare play based movies previously, for it is intense. The background and costumes are not genuine Rome, they were modified to something that resembles the movie "Dune", but nothing is ridiculously anachronic, like I thought of that DiCaprio "Romeo & Juliet", which made me leave the seat in the very beginning (the "Sword" scene). This movie Titus doesn't try to be historical or actual, it's more surreal-like, with original, abridged, text. The violence is quite explicit, so have your stomach ready.
Alas, the acting is great! Totally recommended, this story is the Centaurs' Feast! Our journey shall be a very long and ominous journey, but you shall part on it with me.

A surprisingly good movie, and also unpredictable. I spent almost all the movie time gripped to the chair. The movie is a big dialogue between a common guy with a sin, being it falsity and artificiality, and a bullying psycho with a sniper rifle pointing at the former, kind of blackmailing the former. The whole movie is shot at a single New York street, which makes me think this script could even be a theater play. Also, this movie is an excellent sample of a lost art these days: a less than 1:30 hour movie, worth every minute, in a time in which all directors make the corniest movies stretch up to 3 hours. Joel Schumacher is definitely still one of my favorite directors.
