Movie Reviews of Quo Vadis (Import All Regions)
Movie Review: Relatively Weak Epic
Summary: 3 Stars
When a 600 page book is condensed to a movie, it's exprected that some of the nuances of the book would be lost. Unfortunately, it was changed to such a degree from the book that it almost changed the meaning the book tried to convey entirely. Vinicius was a full convert by the end of the book, and at the end of the movie it seemed he still only converted in order to get the girl.
As far as the actual production, there were some lavish scenes as are expected from the old epics, but nowhere on the range of what was found in such religious dramas as King of Kings and Ben-Hur where there were larger than life characters that perfectly complemented the larger than life scenes.
Quo Vadis is not without its good points, and the final climax is done fantastically, and the madness of Nero really shines through at key moments.
