Art and/or history lovers may rejoice with this film about Michelangelo's experience painting the Sistine Chapel, but others may not particularly find this to be their "cup of tea." Charlton Heston, a man who always does his roles justice, plays Michelangelo very well and Rex Harrison plays Pope Julius II, the man who forced Michelangelo to paint the ceiling, with style. It's interesting but not always engaging.
