Love this movie! Seriously one of the best of all times! If you haven't seen this movie and have been debating it you must I mean must watch! The Cohen brothers are not only genius comedic writers but the way this movie is shot is brilliant as well! Point of view shots colors and slow mos of yeah! This is one of Jeff Daniels and John Goodman best rolls of all time! WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! Several times too because you end up catching a lot the second time around! The comedic timing from Steve Buschmi of my Gard! And John Tortoro as Jesus well need I mention that this is one of his best rolls as well! Everyone in the family (except for the under 14 age group because there is nudity) will enjoy this movie. It really did take me a couple times of watching it though to really get how brilliant it is!

I mean what can I say about Shakespeare that hasn't already been said obviously timeless writer....But it is the actors and way this movie is shot that makes it! This move also has one of the best opening to a movie too.( Also if you have the Tool's album aenima you should sink it up to the beginning of the movie with the song that has the stomping on it I think the song is stinkfist) I mean wow this was done amazing!This is one of those even if you don't like Shakespearean writing you can still get into it. Now keep in mind this is a tragedy so you have to be in the mood to watch something dark and sinister. Anthony Hopkins commands a stellar role as Titus Andronicus. He carries the movie along brilliantly while letting you fall into his psychotic character. Diane Lange delivers a spellbinding performance in this movie as the queen and mother of these two twin boys who are completely psychotic proving by her performance that the apple doesn't fall from the tree. And last but certainly not least there is Alan Cumming who is my opinion is one of the best actors plays Saturninus a character who is a little more eccentric then Shakespeare lets onto in his writing but Alan brings out in his acting!

I loved this movie soooo much! I was first introduced two thirds into it and I was immediately ready to sit down and watch it at three in the morning staying up till five am. The way it is shot is like pure genius! There is a scene in it that is shot from the perspective of the person being murdered and I mean it is aw inspiring! Seriously if it weren't for the way this movie ended it it would have been a 10 on my voting. Point in fact though the ending isn't horrible it just leaves a little to be desired. NON-SPOILER ALERT about the ending, they use a different person for the main character as the older version, but everyone else plays themselves just with makeup....(Don't get me wrong the guy they got 'Malcolm McDowell' to play as the older gangster is the best narrator and therefore carries the movie, but it's just weird and very hard to over look) Not to mention Paul Bettany who is a genius in this movie as well! My god the man can play psycho! All and all a must watch and a pass on to any friend who is in the mood to see a great flick!!!!!
