Movie Reviews

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 8/10 by Bob BloomSilly, hammy, Valentino was never much of an actor
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeEngaging nonsense full of sex, homoeroticism, a little S&M and much derring-do%u2014but it's all nonsense that shows why Valentino is a legend.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt dated badly, but is worth seeing as an historical curio that shows how far we have come and far we must still go to overcome our stereotyped conceptions of Arabs.
Stream on Demand - 6/10 by Sean AxmakerLike much of the cinema of the silent era, the plot is secondary to the sheer elegance of the images, and Fitzmaurice polishes them up like a master jeweler.
User Review - 10/10 by Jennifer ZIt was a great movie kept my attention, I love he plays his father also in this movie!
User Review - 8/10 by Justin R:fresh: A silent love story with an entertaining story and a decent script acording with the time the film was made. Rudolph Valentino did 2 characters: the sheik and the son of the sheik and both were well done, the villains were a little stupid and I consider them almost harmless. I didn't like the woman who played Yasmin.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WValentino's last pic b4 his untimely death.
User Review - 6/10 by Mloy XThe Shiek Ahmed Ben Hassan (Valentino): "I am not accustomed having my orders disobeyed." Lady Diana Mayo (Agnes Ayres): "And I am not accustomed to obeying orders." To be honest I didn't think this film was going to be as engaging as its more modern counterparts because it lacked a certain cinematic sophistication but I think the lack of a spoken dialogue made me pay attention more to the actors' body language and made me concentrate more on their facial expressions; plus, the written dialogue was also very clever and witty, one can't help but completely become enamored with the film. Valentino was an interesting actor, I would love to see a behind-the-scenes of this film because his "technique" was just too inappropriately comical sometimes, although it didn't deter from his overall performance. Agnes Ayres was a wonderful heroine, even though her character tries to be a "modern" woman: adventurous and outspoken, she ends up being the stereotypical damsel who predictably develops Stockholm syndrome. But for me, the most memorable performance belonged to Adolphe Menjou (who plays Dr. Raoul de St. Hubert), he acted as how you would expect a classical stage actor would, more serious and less ham-ish like Valentino's performance. Overall, this more was surprisingly entertaining but an eye-opening experience for me because in the future I wouldn't be as quick to dismiss viewing a silent film.
User Review - 4/10 by Zach TJust as hammy as the first one. Funny in all the wrong ways.
User Review - 4/10 by Jacob FReally only worth seeing as historical curiosity.
