More than anything else, the poor performance by Jason Robards as Brutus ruined this movie. He sounded like a schoolboy who had never acted before, reading his lines for a play. Also, Robert Vaughn did a poor job as Casca.
However, some of the other cast members such as John Gielgud and Charlton Heston performed well. Diana Rigg was perfect as Portia, and Richard Johnson gave the best Cassius performance I've ever seen.
The costumes and cinematography were okay, but the direction left a lot to be desired. And the screen writing wasn't what it should have been either, they should have stayed with the lines from Shakespeare rather than rewriting the script.
Overall, despite some positive attributes, this is not a very good movie.
