The translated script may be ropey and some of the acting doesn't quite cut it but it's hard not to get swept along with the lavish set pieces (the earthquake sequence stands out.

A costume epic well-served by Leone's previous experience with the genre.

It's not that any of this is specifically and irredeemably bad. It's just that none of it is very much good.

It was a film remarkable enough, at a time when the peplums had just about reached the end of their particular line, to warrant good notices for its crowd and spectacle scenes.

...Leone's first credited film as a director, and it shows clearly the course he was charting as a filmmaker.

This ludicrous costume epic complete with hambone acting is interesting to film buffs because it is an early work by the king of the spaghetti Westerns, director Sergio Leone.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Sun-bronzed heroes battle tyranny. Prisoners scramble for their lives in coliseum pageants of doom. Usurpers connive. Revolution erupts. And towering over all the excitement is the mighty bronze Colossus that straddles the harbor, fighting foes by dropping burning oil from the huge cauldron it holds and firing streams of molten lead from the catapults in its headpiece.
