Best two reviews:
1) New Times (L.A.) - A grand, old-fashioned epic, this project is every bit as important as "Gladiator" or a new "Star Wars" episode. (Rating: 90) Read Full Review >
2) Variety - Bright, 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. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
2) L.A. Weekly - The film should also wow fans of Herbert Wise's "I, Claudius" and Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth" alike. (Rating: 50) Read Full Review >
3) Los Angeles Times - Kawalerowicz directs with briskness and vigor but cannot keep the first half of his film from slipping into tedium. (Rating: 50) Read Full Review >
