Leave your thoughts about Quo Vadis.
| Nitrate OnlineDan LybargerTaylor is as wooden as usual, but the gaudy spectacle is worth the rental price. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMiriam Di NunzioGolden era MGM takes on Christ! The lavish story of Roman-Christian conflict was universally loved, thanks to star turns by Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr, and supporting players Peter Ustinov and Leo Genn. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonQuo Vadis is a super-spectacle in all its meaning. That there are shortcomings [in this fourth version of the tale] even Metro must have recognized and ignored in consideration of the project’s scope. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyBy today's standards, Mervyn LeRoy's film is a kitschy spectacle, but in 1951, it was immensely popular and MGM spent its biggest budget to date for a star-driven production that shot for a whole year at Rome's Cinnecitta Studios. |
| The Observer (UK)Philip FrenchEnough large-scale spectacle scenes to outweigh the inevitable religiose sludge that creeps in between them. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumMGM’s opulent version of ancient Rome circa 1951, with Peter Ustinov at his most whimsical doing honors as the mad Nero...Directed with some pizzazz by Mervyn LeRoy. |
| VarietyVariety StaffQuo Vadis is a super-spectacle in all its meaning. |
| Empire MagazineIan NathanEnough large-scale spectacle scenes to outweigh the inevitable religiose sludge that creeps in between them. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumSuper MGM spectacular, Roman style, headlining Robert Taylor. |
| The IndependentRoger ClarkeWithin and around these visual triumphs and rich imagistic displays is tediously twined a hackneyed romance that threatens to set your teeth on edge. |
