Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There is in this edition of the picture an effort to cover too many historical incidents and the consequence is that quite a number of the passages are confused.

fresh:
Like D.W. Griffith, Orson Welles, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas, but mostly James Cameron, Gance understood the thrill of the cinematic event and had the hubris to bring it off.

– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
