Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Marian20 Robert Taylor and Deborah Kerr together with Peter Ustinov star in this movie adaption of Henryk Sienkiewicz's classic 1896 novel entitled "Quo Vadis".This tells the story of a love story between an agnostic Roman soldier Marcus Vinicius and a Christian woman Lygia during a time wherein Emperor Nero was into the persecution of Early Christians during the first century. Mervyn LeRoy was the director of the classic epic film released in 1951.No question that Quo Vadis remains a popular film after more than 60 years since it has been released.It provides a great depiction of the persecution and martyrdom of the Early Christians during the time of Emperor Nero.We also witness great acting from the stars particularly Robert Taylor and Deborah Kerr as they provided a great performance of the lead characters Marcus Vinicius and Lygia and most especially Peter Ustinov as cruel and insane Emperor Nero.No wonder that Ustinov won one of the eight Oscars that movie has garnered in 1952 particularly that year's Best Supporting Actor as well as Best Picture. Added to that,a viewer can see that great money has been spent on its production particularly its costumes,production set up and cinematography. It also was shot on location in Rome where the story took place.Finally,it has also great and memorable historic scenes such as the burning of Rome and the crucifixion of Saint Peter upside down.Overall,it is one of the best movies ever released.

elvircorhodzic QUO VADIS is a very ambitious film spectacle of questionable quality. This is a kind of combination of facts and historical and biblical context. The film offers a fairly good set design, sound, soundtrack and great costumes. Historically - epic moments are well highlighted. This three-hour film offers exceptional dynamism and narrative clarity. However, despite the, until then, an unprecedented visual splendor and excitement of the film are frequent moments of verbal boredom, banality, historical pretentiousness and an indication of sex.The story boils down to the antagonistic relationship Roman generals and converts to Christianity, the bloody rule of mad Emperor Nero and religious spices. Realizing at the same time intimate drama of two people and the spectacular scenes of historical events, such masterful staging of Nero's burning of Rome and the events at the Coliseum, LeRoy is presented actually a classic love story, no matter what its context has an epic importance, both in terms of history, and as far as religion.The film shows the extremes of human madness, brutality, morbidity and cynicism on the one hand. On the other hand extremes of human justice, commitment, faith and goodness. I think that so many things in the film well conceived and unfortunately remained incomplete.The most complete character is Petronius (Leo Genn), who cynical bickering his supervisor creates knowledge about the reality. Convincing and touching is his fragile romance with a slave Eunice (Marina Berti).Peter Ustinov as Nero is in certain parts of the film quite interesting. However, this restraint, madness and screaming become irritating and annoying. In this character has no visible changes. Treadmill is a real denominated.Robert Taylor (Marcus Vinicius) and Deborah Kerr (Lygia) are very solid in their performances. Their romance carries strong emotion and despite acting unconvincingly.This spectacle simply delights and disappoints at the same time.

Kirpianuscus for the wise adaptation of a novel who remains an important declaration of faith. for the acting, who remains memorable for each of lead actors. for the credibility of a society who seems be not only realistic but not presented from a single angle. for the Rome and flames and for the courage to create little more than part of historical blockbusters of period. for the sensitivity of Deborah Kerr, for a Petronius who remains the best interpretation, for the love story who has more poetry than eroticism. and, sure , for Nero by Peter Ustinov. a film who impress and remains seductive after six and half decades. and that is its great virtue.

mostlyrance A propaganda flick worthy of Joseph Goebbels.All the old worn out clichés of ancient Rome are trotted out. Some people still think they are true.Christians: gentle, peace-loving, intelligent, honorable.Romans: evil, war-like, cowardly, dumb, sexist.Ustinov's Nero is just as annoyingly inaccurate as Jay Robinson's sniveling Caligula in The Robe.Watch it if you're a Christian who likes to be lied to about how wonderful you are.Anyone with an IQ > 90 will cringe.
