Kirk Douglas at his best!

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2004)

I thought this was a great epic movie. It is certainly one of my favorites. All of the actors did a great job. Laurence Olivier certainly makes you hate him in this movie. Russell Metty's great cinematography along with Alex North's dramatic music score make this a great movie. This movie shows that Stanley Kubrick is one of the great directors of all time and knows his stuff. My only question is, why wasn't this movie at least nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards? I think that was a mistake. This is a great one and is in my opinion an older version of "Brave Heart."
