Beats the drum loud, but this Mussolini sponsored Italian epic never becomes the propaganda spectacular it was supposed to be. Massive scenes, but the staging feels mediocre and the shouting dialogue gives one a headache. Still interesting what they could deliver during the fascist years and this has a massive 15 minute battle to end this bore on a high note. A bit messy, but grueling with tank-like elephants and spears piercing anyone in sight, man or animal.
