Review

Ultimate DVD, 04/01/2008, 90, 5 stars out of 5 -- "There are obvious resonances with today's religious tensions, but this is a story of much more, and it is handled superbly."

Chicago Sun-Times, 08/27/1993, p.41, "...It is not only a spectacle the likes of which we may never see again, but also brings an elegance to the form not much seen before its release, either..."

New York Times, 01/29/2008, "[A] feast of visual detail....The film overflows with deep-focus vistas, towering sets, densely crowded battle sequences and the imposing presence of two remarkable physical specimens, Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren."

Sight and Sound, 04/01/2008, p.89, "[I]t's clear that the director relished working in 70mm and having such rich resources at his disposal. As a spectacle, it's muscular and more dynamic than most."

A wonderful epic film...like a sexier version of Ben Hur.
