Movie Reviews

USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkJack Hawkins is convincing in the lead role, while Joan Collins does what she does best, playing a ruthless, self-obsessed queen with no redeeming qualities – but we can’t help but love her.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzBlockbuster epics are usually not this thoughtfully put together.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Tim PurtellJoan Collins and her pointy bras are a hubba-hubba hoot.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonHoward Hawks’s only attempt at a wide-screen blockbuster (1955), much disparaged afterward by Hawks and many others, is actually fairly awesome if you can get beyond the clunky dialogue (some of it written by William Faulkner, as well as Harry Kurnitz) and the campy evilness of the Joan Collins character.
The Independent - 7/10 by Laurence PhelanAlthough the script (by Faulkner, among others) gets stranded with the usual slightly wooden dialogue considered necessary for ancient times, the story moves along at a stately but never sluggish pace, and is scattered with lovely moments, most notably the grim finale when Collins gets her ironic come-uppance.
Movie Metropolis - 5/10 by John J. PuccioNo wars; no battles; one dinky sword fight. But much pageantry.
The Observer (UK) - 5/10 by Philip FrenchJoan Collins is the only person in this film who seems to be enjoying the fact it's a big camp mess.
Classic Film and Television - 5/10 by Michael E. GrostIntelligent epic mixes spectacle and social commentary.
The New York Times - 4/10 by A.H. WeilerWhile it is impressively sweeping in its eye-filling pageantry, this saga of the building of a colossal pyramid 5,000 years ago is staged on the creaky foundation of a tale of palace intrigue that must have been banal even in the First Dynasty.
User Review - 10/10 by Ilona VA childhood favourite and I've since enjoyed historical spectacles. Tongueless monks and Joan Collins as a ruthless concubine, it's fantastic!
