90A grand, old-fashioned epic, this project is every bit as important as "Gladiator" or a new "Star Wars" episode.
-
80Bright, glossy, grandly scaled and dramatically stolid, 79-year-old writer-director Jerzy Kawalerowicz's longtime dream project mixes earnest religiosity with the depraved cruelty of Nero's Rome in the classic De Mille tradition.
-
50Kawalerowicz directs with briskness and vigor but cannot keep the first half of his film from slipping into tedium.
-
50The film should also wow fans of Herbert Wise's "I, Claudius" and Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth" alike.
