David F This is a good standard filming of the Shakespearean drama about Roman politics Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Alec B Brando really is suprisingly good here (the rest of the cast is as great as you expect) and I like how this adaptation reduces the play to it's essential pieces which allows for the plot to move quickly. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Andy F This could be the best Shakesperian movie adaptation. A masterclass from the all star cast with Brando outshining them all. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Rami A A perfectly well put together adaption of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The performances are well done, and memorable. Marlon Brando steals the show in this picture. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Gregory L Beyond a doubt my favorite film adaptation of a Shakespearian play. Marlon Brando is fantastic as Marc Antony. He truly shows his flexibility as an actor in the truest sense of the word. But the true star of the play, and so of the film, is Brutus, played by the excellent actor James Mason. He is riveting in his portrayal. The acting in general is in the style of the 1940s and 50s, so more stylized than the technique we see in today's acting, so watch and try not to compare it the more realistic approach we see today. It's apples and oranges. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Jerry E I would love to be able to give this movie five stars. But it has too many flaws. Despite the distinguished cast, almost all the acting, except for that of James Mason, is stiff and declamatory, lacking in subtlety and nuance. The plaza where the great speeches of Brutus and Marc Antony take place is claustrophobic and looks like a construction site. The citizens of Rome look like poorly costumed actors rather than real people. Little is done to differentiate the main supporting characters. Especially annoying is the fine actor Edmund O'Brian playing what should be a semi-comical character, Casca, as a mere dull message bearer. And no one could possibly take Lous Calhern's wooden old man as Caesar the conquerer. But most disappointing is John Gilgud's one-dimensional, angry Cassius. It's impossible to believe that he actually persuades Brutus to assassinate Caesar. Three stars for effort. But successful Shakespeare on film still belongs to Laurence Olivier.
