Darío (Rory Calhoun) llega a la isla de Rodas para descansar después de un periodo de guerras en Grecia. Las intrigas del primer Ministro Thar (Conrado San Martín) para apoderarse de la isla con la colaboración de los fenicios, la muerte del hermano menor de los líderes de la revolución al intentar asesinar al rey de Rodas, el descontento entre los habitantes de la isla al tener que pagar más impuestos y trabajar como esclavos en la construcción del famoso guardián del puerto y la finalidad guerrera con que se ha construido éste hace que Darío, llevado de su noble espíritu, se ponga al lado de los patriotas que luchan para derrocar a Thar. Darío es subyugado por los encantos de Diala (Lea Massari), hija del constructor del Coloso, ignorante de las intrigas de ésta con el primer Ministro Thar. (Movistar+)

A typical Italian sandal where, if you were looking for Leone’s usual genius, you would be disappointed. The characters are black and white, no historical faithfulness or logic! That’s completely missing. The Colossus of Rhodes doesn’t pretend to be anything more than what it can offer. In other words, an entertaining, historical “popcorn movie", although a lot longer than they tend to be. At least in the director’s cut. If it weren’t for that grinning Calhoun and occasional funny moments (no more underwear, please God), then my satisfaction with the first solo picture by my favorite director would have been a good deal greater.

Two-and-a-half-hour socks in sandals. This genre is exactly what I expected. The spears are made of paper, the chains are made of rubber, the walls are made of cardboard, and the costumes are from television variety shows. The men are as sweaty as a busboy in summer and the women on barbiturates stare blankly into the abyss. But I got the urge to install Age of Mythology again, you know I did.
