Comparing this film to its 1959 version would be a disservice. Based more faithfully upon the original novel, it features an excellent performance by Toby Kebbell and a competent one from Jack Huston, now brothers rather than just good childhood friends. This a story about forgiveness and redemption, and it requires from the viewer to enjoy it as such. Visually, it holds up with many practical shots, excellent photography and little CGI, a welcome change for that matter. The editing is a little bit choppy, sadly keeping in with the latest trends. Well, I really hope that it gets at least its budget back, because this summer has been brutal with most films at the B.O. Hope to enjoy it again on Netflix soon.

I'm not sure if my criticism is for the original novel (which I haven't read), or for the Burnett and Downey production, but this movie frustrated me. My initial reaction was to ask, "Why are the film makers willing to spend lots of money putting together these extravagant spectacles but don't bother to hire writers, or, at least, consultants, who have a clue about history or the Bible. This movie understands neither the Roman occupation of Israel, the piety of the Jews of 1st century Jerusalem, nor the nature of the life of the historical Jesus, an itinerate teacher who visited Jerusalem for the appropriate Jewish festivals but probably never set up shop as a carpenter, in either Jerusalem or his native Galilee, and especially not once his ministry began (following his baptism and desert temptation). " So, my suggestion is, if you want to tell a story of a "prince of the Jews" who discovers the gospel of Jesus in a Roman occupied world, make sure your writers know at least a little bit about all three of those historical situations. I give this movie a 5 (meh) out of 10.

A new interpretation of the classic Lew Wallace novel, Ben-Hur is an epic tale of adventure. Two adopted brothers become bitter rivals when one joins the Roman army and is tasked with rooting out rebels in Jerusalem, leading him to sentence his brother to the life of a slave when he’s discovered to have harbored a would-be rebel assassin. The performances are pretty good and the production values are extraordinarily well-done, creating an authentic look and feel for the time period. The special effects in particular do an incredible job at creating dynamic action sequences; such as the naval battles and chariot races. But the writing falls short and doesn’t take the time to develop the characters or the story all that well. Yet despite its shortcomings, Ben-Hur is an entertaining film with a powerful message about forgiveness and letting go of hate.

**Booooooring**

As with most major productions, "Ben-Hur (2016)" gets an extra star for production value.

Bad camera, unlikable characters, ugly costumes, this film has it all.

Early on the two brothers are introduced, who will have their biblical vendetta throughout this movie. Clearly the More

**What is this crap??**

I was quite curious to see this film given that the 1959 version is one of my favorite films, and a film that, much more than a piece of entertainment, is a historical document, a culturally relevant piece, worthy of preservation and memory. When I finished watching it, I More

Last time I watched the Ben-Hur with Charlton Heston the thought did not cross my mind that perhaps the world needed another version of the story directed by the guy who brought us Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and that weird movie where they make bullets bend.

Anyway, the Heston version is one More

**They've grown up together and later turned up to each other.**

I had seen the old film and I liked that. So remake means we expect nothing less than a visual spectacular and this film had them at its best, including many more great features, but the real stars are missing. It was a let down wit More
