Rating:  - demetrius & the Gladiator
Ok so its old time drama but the movie still carries solid performance from the cast. Movie score is not bad either. Lets just say that it may have inspires the Gladiator & Rome of this generation.
Rating: - Demetrius and the Gladiators
This is the sequel to The Robe. It is very good, full of action, and historical in respect to the persecution that occured to the early Christian church.
Rating: - One of the Greatest !
The Film is one that I and my wife believe is one of the Greatest Christian films that we could relate to alot and I believe even for alot other professing Christians !!!!
Rating:  - not bad for its day
this movie was one of my favorites when growing up. 50 years later I watched it again and still think it is a worth while movie. I really liked the actor who played Caligula (Jay Robinson). I believed he died early on after this movie. Played the part to a "T". He was much better to watch then Victor Mature who was not right for the part. Hard to believe he would be a threat to anyone let alone a gladiator!!
The arena scenes are good with good action and fight sequences. Good movie for us old timers who enjoy 50's movies.
Rating:  - don't buy it
This is a terrible movie - it would be bad enough if we hadn't read the book, The Robe, but because we did, the book portrays Demetrius as a thoroughy moral, loyal and admirable person, and the movie shows him as a pleasure-loving, vacant-eyed, immoral fighting machine. Where the movie makers came up with this spin is beyand me, but someone should have stopped them. Actually, after reading the book and 'knowing' Demetrius in that manner, I found the movie nauseating - like a crude and mean characture of a good friend.
Don't buy it.
