![]() ![]() ![]() Over the years, so many films have yielded up memorable one-liners, which run the gauntlet of emotions from sad, funny, sicko, to tearful, powerful, even chillingly awesome ("Look behind you Dr Floyd" from 2010!) Lines such as Drax in MOONRAKER, speaking to an underling "Take Mr Bond away and see that some harm comes to him," make it all worth-while. Having said all that however, I would like to make these observations. A spaghetti epic was never likely to cause waves at the Academy Awards and so the era came to a halt after this. It was neither the best nor the worst of the Biblical yarns but much as I liked it, the latter was nearer the mark. Not quite sure why I am bothering to right anything about this film here tonight, perhaps to give myself a break from finishing my daughter's ancient history assignment which has all but fried my brain! Have read the majority of critiques here and with the possible exception of Steve Reeves' impressions which follow this (I think he should stick to playing Hercules!) and which are arguably intelligent, there is not much more to be added.
