Since I'd like to live in the Vatican and be surrounded by all that beauty, I'll give this film 10 stars to improve its rating. And Christopher Reeve is like a crown jewel, it's so overwhelming to look at him shining so brightly with his sapphire eyes on fire! I don't care what happens or who else appears. This movie could have been just Christopher Reeve walking through those majestic gardens and chambers and I would still want to sit through the whole moviet. It does feel like some parts are missing, particularly one huge chunk. I guess we can call it director's leap of faith. Or editor's. The score is rightfully horrific and highlights the drama, or the horror of realization and acceptance that you're going straight to hell. Really, that intense red color of the cardinals mixed with that intense music can make you faint. You do feel unwell just like the principal characters in that particular scene. Better than most films made today.
