A Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 1999)

This is my favorite film and I think time has not dimmed its luster. This is epic moviemaking at it's finest, when computer generated effects weren't needed to recreate the beauty and spectacle of something like the chariot race. When you also have magnificent performances from a wonderful cast (Charlton Heston, three years after playing Moses, demonstrates why his epic roles were not a case of mere typecasting), a literate script (which properly should be credited to Christopher Fry) and the greatest musical score ever composed for a movie, the results can only add up to a masterpiece.
