...ended up loving it. Remembering that this film was ripped badly by some reviewers, I rented it figuring that Anthony Hopkins would turn in an interesting performance even if the rest of the film was dreck. It's long(about 2 3/4 hours), over-the-top, self-consciously stagey, beautiful to look at, and a heck of a lot of fun. Forget the bad reviews, sit back, and revel in Shakespeare's wicked sense of humor augmented by this director's(whose name escapes me) outlandish take on Titus Andronicus.
