Quo Vadis Ratings & Reviews
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Super MGM spectacular, Roman style, headlining Robert Taylor.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
Pretty good, almost despite all the excess.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
It's heavy-handed, to be sure, but it's fun to watch, thanks to its pageantry and color.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
It was made, we suspect, for those who like grandeur and noise -- and no punctuation. It will probably be a vast success.
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
Taylor is as wooden as usual, but the gaudy spectacle is worth the rental price.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
By 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.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Peter Ustinov's delightful over-the-top prissy performance was fun to watch.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
the main reason to watch three hours of Quo Vadis remains Peter Ustinov's striking contribution to Nero lore
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
Quo Vadls is the most spectacular film since the days of Ben Hur and Intolerance. But as an epic it does not have the corn of De Mille -- nor the excitement.
Variety
Variety Staff
Quo Vadis is a super-spectacle in all its meaning.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
MGM's opulent version of ancient Rome circa 1951, with Peter Ustinov at his most whimsical doing honors as the mad Nero.
TIME Magazine
For sheer size, opulence and technical razzle-dazzle, Quo Vadis is the year's most impressive cinematic sight-seeing spree.
TV Guide
The epic Quo Vadis offers a spectacular cast to match its overwhelming production.
