Quo Vadis

Right up there with Ben-Hur and the Ten Commandments.Great plot and a nice transfer(HD)looks great.They just don’t make epic films like this anymore.Buy it!

Outstanding

Action, romances, great villian., love this movie. The best of the Hollywood epic movies its just fantastic entertainment. Peter Ustinov gives his best performance as Nero. This movie is great entertainment.

Great movie and even better book! I encourage everyone to read it, believe me it doesn't read like historical classic that it is, it's a great love story! Only wish they would let me buy it, it's only for rent :/ fix please!!

Watched this for a classics class and was expecting to be bored stupid. I quickly found myself enthralled by the characters and the story. Honestly, one of the best movies I've ever seen.

This is truly thee best movie of all time. I am not a great review writer so my words will never do this movie justice. What I have been amazed at is the rarity of this movie. It was made about the same time as The Ten Commandments, El Cid, and other Roman time epics. This is a full budget, full scale hollywood movie with many accademy nominations. Why the rarity? It has grand scenes, thousands of extras, action, romance, good verses evil, suspence, sacrifice, the burning of Rome. Peter Ustinov masterfully plays Nero. Excellent writing, excellent acting, excellent lighting, excellent screen play, excellent story excellent costumes. I have watched this movie more than all others in my video library. Even though it is 3 hours long you will enjoy the whole movie again and again. It is based on a book of the same name written in 1895 and ten years later the book recieved the nobel prize and this movied deserves the accedemy awards it was nominated for. My guess is the academy just couldn't get past their religous beliefs. If you have seen the 2001 movie Quo Vadis "you haven't seen noth'n yet". The 2001 movie was just so so. buy and watch this movie and you will not be disappointed.

This is classic in its own right with good development of characters and plot. It illustrates the conflict between Quo Vadis and the Christians with Nero. This and other classic films are truly the answer for today's shallow and empty films.

I have watched Quo Vadis countless of times and must say that it doesn't ages. If you are interested in Henryk Sienkiewicz novels, Roman Empire, or Christianity, Quo Vadis is a must have. The first time I watched it I was 9 years old, and was totally hooked to the story to the point that I am now a history lover. You will not be dissapointed with this classic - it is worth any money. I hope that helped.

A skillful telling of the quickening of Christianity in the frame of Roman pageantry, executed before the digital age. Those armies and throngs are all human.
