Sadly the direction of this film feels rather anonymous, and Sergio Leone doesn't seem to have a unique vision in this film. Though like A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More , it is not an ambitious work and instead just plays with popular conventions of Italian genre cinema.

The Colossus of Rhodes does make sense as a learning…. Set in BC, during the void years after the days of Alexander the Great but before the advent of Roman Empire, The Colossus of Rhodes Il Colosso di Rodi follows a Greek military hero who visits his uncle on the island of Rhodes to enjoy his vacation but inadvertently finds himself involved in two different plots to overthrow the tyrannical king.

His first credited work as a director, too. I was beginning to wonder how he'd been given the opportunity to make such lavish sword and sandal epics considering a.

After doing a little research, I learned this wasn't the first or even second rodeo for the big spaghetti-eating boy. Leone had been a first and second unit director since the 's and had already worked on well over 50 muscle-casted…. Review by Matthew B. This overlong and uninspired sword-and-sandal epic is a rather inauspicious start to the otherwise fantastic directorial career of Sergio Leone.

The plot is a bore, the effects are rather unimpressive, and the acting led by Rory Calhoun leaves much to be desired. All of this adds up to a minute slog of a film that feels so much longer than it actually is. Viewers should take caution not to strain their eyes or their brains looking for Sergio Leone hallmarks - it's abundantly clear that the sword-and-sandal genre just doesn't have the power for him that the western did, and this is a much, much more conventional adventure movie than anything else he ever directed.

There is some fun stuff though, including a pretty cool chase up, out and over the top of the titular Colossus, and some other nice fights and duels distributed throughout. One aspect of the Leone touch that I think can be seen is his knack for patiently tracing through a scene without much of a desire for quickness, although what would later become tense and…. Sergio Leone's official directorial debut, but it's not that much different from his unofficial debut The Last Days of Pompeii. It's a little bit better, but not by much.

I don't know, the sword and sandal genre is kind of like the sock and sandal combo; some people love it, but I struggle to understand why. It doesn't look good. I do see how the genre informed parts of Leone' spaghetti westerns though, but the visual language, style and suspense wasn't quite there yet.

A slow start, but the rest of Leone's career would prove to be iconic once the training wheels were off.
