El Cid Ratings & Reviews
Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Phil Mayer
A beautifully filmed, often very exciting saga.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
There are no wasted moments - it starts right into the action from the opening scene and, despite its three-hour running time, keeps up interest and suspense.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Starring Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren at their prime, Anthony Mann's grand historical epic is still much admired by viewers and directors.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
Charleton Heston is the perfect mythic conflicted hero.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
To say that El Cid is the most intelligent of the elephantine epics of the early '60s is to damn it with faint praise.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Not many filmmakers could make the transition to epic filmmaking with all their signature touches intact; Anthony Mann more or less succeeds.
