Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Magnificence
This film is a statemen of magnificence, the pomp, the casting, the marvelous acting, and the gracefully written script, all bear witness to the creativity of mid 20th century Hollywood. This movie is simply delightful, the viewer should be prepeared for depth of dialogue, spectacle, lengthiness, and creative character interaction. This film is highly thought provoking, and therefore not light fair.
Rating: - THE J. LUNDBERG REVIEW IS BULL!
J.LUNBERG IS FULL OF SH*&^(#@*! HIS REVIEW IS BULL! THIS IS A VERY GOOD AND TOUCHING MOVIE.
Rating: - Restored DVD On The Way
I too have been waiting a long time for a restored DVD of this classic and inspiring film. The wait is finally over and expect a fully restored Ultra-Resolution DVD set 4th Qtr 2008. The reason for the delay has been the poor quality of the source film that has required extensive work.
Rating: - Outstanding Film, Poor DVD Quality
Quo Vadis is one of the best films of the 1950s and arguably among the greatest released to date. The verbal sparring among Petronius (Leo Glenn), Nero (Peter Ustinov) and Tigellinus (Ralph Truman) would by itself be the backbone of a great movie. Unfortunately, the world currently lacks a quality copy of the film available to the general public. The Korean copy has several problems with loosing audio sync.

Rating:  - A so-so copy of an ageless classic
If you're a sword-and-sandals movie fan, you don't need me to tell you about the movie's content. But the Korean pressing is, in quality, only so-so (I got better results, including better sound and deeper color, by DVD-recording off of Turner Classic Movies), but it does carry English subtitles, though laughingly attenuated. If this is your only access to Peter Ustinov as a bearded Nero and sylphid Deborah Kerr as the willowy damsel Lygia under chase by the black bull, then you can't do much worse ... Read More
