A far, far cry from “Lawrence of Arabia,” but it has its diversions. Read full review

Helmer/co-scripter Jean-Jacques Annaud's rep for spectacle over screenplay is again borne out in this overblown yet oddly anemic epic of warring Arabian tribes during the nascent oil boom. Read full review

Banderas hams and Pinto flutters. If it weren’t for Strong and some colourful art direction, you could chalk this up as a busted well. Read full review

There's undoubtedly a good film to be made out of the scramble for oil in the Arabian desert in the 1920s – but this, for all its herculean efforts, is not it. Read full review

Empire Angie Errigo

Feb 28, 2013

Ambitious but very tedious and talkatively hackneyed, redeemed just a smidge by the money shots of a swarm of extras on horseback sweeping across the sands. Read full review

Meta Critic gave this film a score of 35 of 100.

That's odd because it's really a better film than that. I liked the Arab Chief who was more interested in his traditions than the flow of oil. The conflict with he and the other Arab leader was interesting. Usually Arab's in film areMeta Critic gave this film a score of 35 of 100.

I liked the Arab Chief who was more interested in his traditions than the flow of oil. The conflict with he and the other Arab leader was interesting. Usually Arab's in film are terrorists to be shot, but here there is more to it, as the Western Influence is Oil Conglomerates.

The film is not as bad as these Critics complain.
