the original Ben Hur was a pretty good flick, imho i doubt a new one from TODAY’s mostly-screwed-up Hollywood could be better
but i will try to see the new one and see, thanks

I found it A LOT easier to follow than the original.
It was great. The slave ship scenes are amazing. The race scenes are spectacular.
I spent the whole on the edge of my seat. 2 1/2 hours went by like a flash.
It had NONE of the liberal crap in it like Noah or Exodus remakes had.
I hope word of mouth picks up ticket sales to the point where a strong message is sent to Hollywood.

The family and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and will probably buy it when it comes out on disc.

Saw it and thought it was terrible. I also thought their “Son of God” was terrible. The reason movies of faith were so much better years ago in Hollywood is because most the directors and producers and stars, were men of faith. Now faith doesn’t exist in Hollywood. They worship the father of lies, Satan.

Roma Downey and her husband were involved in this remake. In “Son of God” they had Jesus going inside Lasrus’ tomb to talk to him.

I'm related to Francis X. Bushman who played Messala in the 1925 version.
I inherited neither his looks, physique, or talent.

You mean the silent movie, or the one with Charleston Heston?

I like the Charlton Heston version because the Roman Soldiers wore Timex watches with black straps during the Chariot Race.

Are you sure they weren’t Timex sundials?

I have the 50th anniversary collection staring Charleston Heston. I have seen the movie in 1959 or 1960. I have also read the novel by Lew Wallace.

In Spartacus many of the extras wore Converse All Stars with brown lines painted on them to look like sandals.
To: Kaslin
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.
