The Long Ships Ratings & Reviews
New York Herald Tribune
Judith Crist
I choose to think all this was intentional, a straight-faced spoof of all the stuff and nonsense that mythologies are made of -- so straight-faced that it can afford the occasional wisecrack, the here-we-go-again ending.
Variety
Variety Staff
Any attempt to put this into the epic class falls down because of a hodge-podge of a storyline, a mixture of styles and insufficient development of characterization.
TIME Magazine
Has impossible acting, a preposterous script, some eminently seeworthy ship reconstructions, and more enjoyable bloody foolishness than many an epic costing three times as much.
TV Guide
The press books announced "Sidney Poitier in his first non-Negro role!" Poitier put it most elegantly: "To say it was disastrous is a compliment."
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Treats history as if it were a tale fit for a romper room.
New York Times
Howard Thompson
A hollow movie and a loud one - but it moves.
