If nothing is good about this film, it's its look, because whether it's well-designed or well-shot, the look of this film proves to be consistently attractive, at least on an artistic level, and that might be more than this film deserves.

| The performances in this film aren't killer, with some supporting performances feeling kind of dated, yet there is still charisma throughout this cast that Richard Burton heads as not simply particularly charismatic, but surprisingly effectively layered in his portrayal of the rise of one of the great leaders of legend, who gradually grows from an ambitious and promising young prince into a powerful, if flawed leader whose depths are sold about as much as they can be by Burton.
