Movie Reviews of Quo Vadis
Movie Review: Magnificence
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a statemen of magnificence, the pomp, the casting, the marvelous acting, and the gracefully written script, all bear witness to the creativity of mid 20th century Hollywood. This movie is simply delightful, the viewer should be prepeared for depth of dialogue, spectacle, lengthiness, and creative character interaction. This film is highly thought provoking, and therefore not light fair. Movie Review: THE J. LUNDBERG REVIEW IS BULL!
Summary: 4 Stars
J.LUNBERG IS FULL OF SH*&^(#@*! HIS REVIEW IS BULL! THIS IS A VERY GOOD AND TOUCHING MOVIE.Movie Review: Restored DVD On The Way
Summary: 5 Stars
I too have been waiting a long time for a restored DVD of this classic and inspiring film. The wait is finally over and expect a fully restored Ultra-Resolution DVD set 4th Qtr 2008. The reason for the delay has been the poor quality of the source film that has required extensive work.
Movie Review: Outstanding Film, Poor DVD Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
Quo Vadis is one of the best films of the 1950s and arguably among the greatest released to date. The verbal sparring among Petronius (Leo Glenn), Nero (Peter Ustinov) and Tigellinus (Ralph Truman) would by itself be the backbone of a great movie. Unfortunately, the world currently lacks a quality copy of the film available to the general public. The Korean copy has several problems with loosing audio sync.

Movie Review: A so-so copy of an ageless classic
Summary: 2 Stars
If you're a sword-and-sandals movie fan, you don't need me to tell you about the movie's content. But the Korean pressing is, in quality, only so-so (I got better results, including better sound and deeper color, by DVD-recording off of Turner Classic Movies), but it does carry English subtitles, though laughingly attenuated. If this is your only access to Peter Ustinov as a bearded Nero and sylphid Deborah Kerr as the willowy damsel Lygia under chase by the black bull, then you can't do much worse than buy this copy. The original movie was pre-Cinema Scope so the ratio is 1:1.33 and you're not missing anything, widescreen-wise. Call it the poor man's tour of ancient Rome: fire, circuses, crucifixions, and all -- the stuff that makes your TV screen pant and sweat and earn its wattage.
