Pretty well paced for its length and it has many moments of greatness. The chariot race is amazing.

Some of the best filmmaking and production design ever! Although, I was more into the first half and I would’ve rathered it if the film ended at the intermission point. Still, the second half includes the chariot race and a great ending!
