More proof that Hollywood cannot make a good movie today.
Ben Hur was a perfectly good movie that needed no remake. Hollywood is so inept they can’t think of a good story without having to go back and make unnecessary remakes like this.
There is such a deep body of literature in the world, and all of it now known at finger’s reach on the internet, there is just no excuse for remaking a classic movie that cannot possibly be improved upon?
What’s next? Remake Casablanca for millenials? Who are you going to cast to top the original? How can you possibly top it?
Hollywood sucks. It jumped the shark decades ago. Every ones in a while a gem sneaks out but mostly it is pure crap today. Pure. Crap.
I agree with you 100 percent. Or the remake of Quo Vadis with Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr, and Peter Ustinov as Nero
