| |  | It is yours only when I give it to you....... |  |
Curious story of what can result when we are pushed beyond our anticipated limits by unusual mentors. Another appropriate title could have been..."The stubborn vs the headstrong" Both lead did a wonderful job of bringing their charactoers from the screen into the living room. Loved this line....."It is yours only when I give it to you."

The Agony and the Ecstasy is a wonderful adaptation of Irving Stone's book. Heston's portrayal of Michelangelo conveys the attitude of the tempermental artist to perfection, while Harrison's role as Julius II gives a down-to-earth view of the "warrior pope," ending somewhat more sympathetically than one might expect--and probably rightly so. If you like stories dealing with the battle of wills, or if you are a fan of Renaissance hisotry/art/anything, this film is well worth it.
June 23, 2008this was not a good movie when first released and it has not improved over time. the acting is stilted and over the top, the script poorly done and full of angst. Heston and Harrison are annoying enough when seen individually but are almost ridiculous when on screen together.
June 12, 2008 The Agony And The Ecstasy is a fine addition to my Charlton Heston movie
collection.

We really enjoyed this movie. We wanted to see it, because a few weeks prior we had actually visited the Sistine Chapel and were interested in the "story" behind it. Movie was well done -- costumes and scenery (backgrounds) just like it looks. We were able to say "we've been there".
