Everything is taken for granted from when this movie was made. A LONG LONG TIME AGO. This movie takes place during WW2 in the Saud and other parts of the Middle East. The UK uses the Middle Eastern tribal people to... Full review

The movie was too long (almost 4 hours!) Plus, the first half of the movie (before intermission) wasn't that great. I kept falling asleep. I think halfway through the second half (after intermission), I fell asleep and woke up to the... Full review

It's old and it's boring. Most people give trash like this A's but I give it F's across the board. I could take my camcorder to the desert and shoot for three hours and forty-five minutes about nothing too, seriously. I'm... Full review

people who don't like this movie because it's old or long and boring are pretty mindless. Their lack of comprehension is disgusting. This is truly one of the greatest ever, anyone saying otherwise is probably a high school dropout working at... Full review

Comparative Classic Film Review:....In the unforgettable scene where Lawrence rescues one of the men from the desert in a foolhardy yet physiologically necessary act, he proclaims that "nothing is written".....The cinematography captures the lasting allure of the middle-eastern desert with technicolor purity..... ...

We wonder if Lawrence himself really knew the answer, but thats why this is a such a great film; it doesnt pretend to know the answer any more than Lawrence, yet we do come to some understanding of his complexities, his demons, his strengths and his odd charm. ... Full Review

While Hollywood was stagnating in the early sixties, it was the likes of David Lean that reminded us what power existed in the moving image, and that power has never waned with his extraordinary Lawrence of Arabia. That image of O'Toole's messianic Lawrence, twirling around in a vision of white, is one of the great images of the cinema. ... Full Review

In any list of the great adventure films of all time, the Sam Spiegel-David Lean production of "Lawrence of Arabia" must stand near the top. Perhaps a shade too tall and handsome for a physical re-creation of the man, O'Toole is, nevertheless, a superb actor who brings out Lawrence's awkwardness, his conceit and fondness for Arab dress and his loyalty for the desert tribesmen, as well as the loneliness and despair of his later years. ...

Why Lawrence of Arabia succeeds in its depiction is that it quite remarkably treads the fine line between glorifying the heroic accomplishments of Lawrence, the bloody minded barbarism of the war machine and last but not least the greedy politics ever so prevalent during any war. ... Full Review
