| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniCromwell is an excellent historical spectacle movie, the kind of lavishly mounted picture that film observers keep saying are gone forever because of the high costs of making them. |
| The SpectatorPenelope HoustonThe script [has] bitten off a more complex slice of history than it can hope to chew. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeAn impressive cast of Brit thespians yelling dialogue in that declamatory manner that clues you in on the fact that this is important stuff. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertRichard Harris, as Cromwell, schleps around the kingdom reciting epigrams and looking distracted. He doesn't inhabit the role or even seem to care much about it. |
| User ReviewCharlotte JHe's my favourite actor, he's irish like me and both played Oliver Crowell |

| User ReviewRobert RI have read a some critic reviews that say this was the worst movie that Richard Harris and Alec Guiness ever did. I disagree with that. This movie is great. |
| User ReviewEric HMakes me want to be a fanatic religious zealot, performances by Sir Alec Guinness & Richard Harris are phenomenal! |
| User ReviewClaire TLike Spartacus it has some of the best acting ever on film. The monologues by Cromwell gives you the chills. |
