Everything, including performances, is turned up to eleven, and what it lacks in finesse it more than makes up for in sheer spectacle.

Insufferably wooden.

Tthe mightiness of masses and the forms of heroes have never loomed so large as they do in this studied demonstration, projected by CinemaScope. But an unwavering force of personal drama is missed in the size and the length of the show.

Had it not been the first film shot in CinemaScope, very few people would probably still be talking about The Robe.

It's hard to actively hate anything as deeply earnest as The Robe, but it is a long, tough sit.

Pious claptrap.

Overblown melodramatic biblical nonsense.

Turgid direction, probably not helped by a necessarily cautious approach to framing, is married to creaky dialogue and stiff performances to render this of purely historical interest.

Important historically as the first CinemaScope feature film.

Stick with The Ten Commandments, or try watching Fellini Satyricon instead.
