Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The crammed contents are linked ponderously in a long, warning movie sermon that has authority but little power.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
It's the gigantic vulgarity, the obsessive righteousness of the director himself, which keeps the show on the road and suffuses the movie with its daft power.
– Stephen Garrett,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
DeMille remains conventional with the motion picture as an art form. The eyes of the onlooker are filled with spectacle. Emotional tug is sometimes lacking.
– Variety Staff,

fresh:
With a running time of nearly four hours, Cecil B. De Mille's last feature and most extravagant blockbuster is full of the absurdities and vulgarities one expects, but it isn't boring for a minute.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
4 Mar 2008
fresh:
DeMille's direction of the action is superb and the various roles are played with feeling by a large and competent cast, headed by Charlton Heston.
