Lawrence of Arabia Reviews

May 18, 2025

A part from all the killing, I'm always extremely delighted to see Sharif with O'Toole. The blond, with those unbelievably blue eyes. And the stunning, dark, beauty. On top there are plenty of camels, and other fascinating caraters. Must rewatch it tonight 💕

One of the greatest epic films of all time! The story, the dialogue, the performances, the cinematography, the score, it’s all incredible.

Mom told me this wasn’t chariots of fire. I did not regret the epic mistake.

This film really needs to be seen in a theatre. On a 온라인카지노추천, much of the visual impact is lost. I originally saw this in Sydney, when it first came out. Stunning!

Brilliant classic. Grateful to have the opportunity to see it on a big screen.

A great film. Many desert scenes of them riding Camels. Alec Guinness was good in the movie. They get guns and cars later in the film. The soundtrack is nice. The train scene was cool.

When all is lost within oneself we must venture off into an unknown world covered with dunes This is a special movie that captures the very essence of an oasis

Beautiful looking, depending on your tolerance of desert landscapes. Remarkable performance by Peter O’Toole of a shameless self promoter who believes his own mythology. Frames war as a story that needs to be packaged as an adventure of honorable heroes, while clearly showing it is anything but. The depicted meddling of Western powers into Arab affairs continue to ripple through history.

This film is beautifully shot, powerfully scored, and the first half is fantastic. But in the second half of the film, a little after they take Aqaba, the story itself seems to lose direction and purpose. The pace of the story really picks up; the motivation for the character's actions are not always clear--we never really get a clear understanding of who Lawrence is, why he wants what he wants, and why we, as an audience, should care. There is not enough character development for us to really care about any of the secondary characters either. The first half of the film is excellent and there are some compelling aspects of the second half, but the story itself is just not that good. The ending is interesting, but anticlimactic and unsatisfying. Being held in such high regard, ultimately, it was disappointing. In the scheme of things, the film left me wondering if TE Lawrence's existence mattered at all. What did he accomplish, really, and what difference did it make? This might sound cold, but it is not clear to me if this is a figure worth remembering--not to mention, immortalizing in a four-hour epic.

Get comfy because this movie is a long one. Is it worth it in the end, definitely. I think the length of the desert scenes help you better understand how long their days must have been crossing the desert. Definitely worth a watch if your up for it and like epics.

Perfect score and cinematography but Peter O'Toole is unbearable.

Does not hold up 62 years later. The acting is fantastic. The dialog is pretty good. But the overall telling of the story by the director is atrocious. Bored most of the time. Didn't care about any of the characters. Poorly made.

Yes, it's an epic film and a great achievement for those who created it. No, it is not entertaining.

Extremely well made film with terrific soundtrack about a character that ends up not all that appealing by the end of the film.

Incredible cinematography and acting. I got a bit lost on the second part, but I still enjoyed it. Pacing is great, no wasted time!

Way ahead of it’s time. An IMAX re-release of this movie would be great coz every shot in this movie is captivating. PS. Lawrence is the Kwisatz Haderach of Arabs. So much similarity between this movie and Dune.

Definitely one of my favorites. Must be seen in a theater.

The ability to accurately capture a historical story... I can't. Its just epic. Go watch it!

The movie is long but does not feel like it since it's just a great tale
