The first sentence of the review shows he doesn’t know much about the movie he’s talking about. Ben Hur is one of the most remade movies in history, the 1959 version is the 3rd, there’s been 2 more since then, plus the play, the musical and the TV miniseries. The classics get revisited all the time.
Besides the 1925 and the 1959 version with Charleston Heston I don’t think you can count the 1907 version as it was only 15 minutes. I’ve never heard of the musical and the miniseries
