Review of Quo Vadis (1951) by Grant S — 01 Mar 2010
Good, as an historical piece on the early days of the Christian church, and the evil reign of Nero, and as an exploration of the Christian faith. However, pretty hopeless otherwise.
The Robert Taylor-Deborah Kerr romance plot was unnecessary, contrived and boring. Robert Taylor's acting was rather wooden and his character was a bore. But I guess if that part was removed, you wouldn't have a long enough movie to call it an "epic"!
Quite long-winded in the end, and a bit boring. It was only the historical and Christian aspects which ensured it wasn't a total waste of nearly three hours.
