"This is one of the greatest epic films ever made! My whole family enjoyed it and we are talking about children who ranged in age from 8 to 15 the first time we watched it! It is still a family favorite! The story is one for the ages with a truly inspirational message!"
"We watched this movie about twice a year in Latin class (wow, I've probably watched this 10 times) and never does it hit us as boring. It takes a classic/historical time period and helps its viewers empathize and understand the struggles of the time. The friendship of Juda and Messala, family loyalty, clashes among populations, hope in spirituality and faith, etc... it's just an eye-opening adventure."
