Sergio Leone's "Il Colosso di Rodi" is simply the best Italian epic there is on the movie market. In an age when sword and sandal films were released as burgers at some take away, this movie was absolutely great. The acting is very good, the sets are very realistic and the effects are magnificent (I was particularly struck by the scene of walls clearly falling on people during the earthquake).The plot was quite innovative, involving women who had an important role, not just acting as escorts to the hero. Even though it is terribly long, it never deviates from actual storyline - which makes very enjoyable to watch!
